In the midst of this hormonal gloom, however, the calvary finally arrives, over the hill, jangling its spurs, and epaulettes shining in the sun: my green library card. Now I'm 13, I can get adult book...
In 2010, Iceland—with a lesbian prime minister and a parliament that is 50 percent female—became the first country in the world to outlaw strip clubs for feminist, rather than religious, reasons. I
I've seen this idea put forward a hundred times - that a proper feminist would do her own hoovering, Germaine Greer cleans her own lavvy, and Emily Wilding Davison threw herself under that horse, hand...
I wish I was Bill Murray. I hope everything I’ve read about evolution is wrong, and I eventually evolve into him. It’s one of only three plans I have. I
I speculate, briefly, on how different the world would be if it were run by women. In that world, if you were a lonely, horny woman - as I am. As I always am- you'd see Blu-tacked postcards by Soho do...
I haven’t yet learned the simplest and most important thing of all: the world is difficult, and we are all breakable. So just be kind.
I feel excitingly...free. Things were going to happen to me last night that I did not like - and I stopped them. I have never prevented my own doom before. I have never stood in the path of certain un...
I appear to have no time for blondes--except for Bugs Bunny, dressed up as a woman, as he seduces the fool Fudd. That is a woman I could be, definitely: a cartoon man-rabbit dressed up as a girl, tryi...
I am an enthusiast who's been pretending to be a cynic. But I have been correctly labeled now. I am for things - not against them. I must remember this. Mainly because this is more fun. It's exhaustin...
Hazaérek, és ott sírok az ajtó előtt. Őszintén szólva a ház túlzsúfolt a síráshoz. Már kipróbáltam odabenn – hüppögések közepette magyarázza az ember valakinek, hogy miért sír, aztán a felénél bejön m...
Freely available, hardcore 21st-century pornography blasts through men’s and women’s sexual imaginations like antibiotics and kills all mystery, uncertainty, and doubt—good and bad.
FURTHER NOTE: This plan can ONLY go wrong in the event of ants. Ants do NOT like being pissed on.
Egy kamaszlánynak légiesnek és szexisnek kellene lennie. Egy kövér kamaszlány testének senki sem veszi hasznát, csak ő maga. Egy albatrosz. Egy túlméretezett fehér madár. Úgy vonszolom magammal, mint...
Don’t call it sexism. Call it manners instead. When a woman blinks a little, shakes her head like Columbo, and says, I’m sorry, but that sounded a little . . . uncivil, a man is apt to apologize. Beca...
Because I am fully aware of what the word fat means—what it really means, when you say it, or think it. It’s not just a simple, descriptive word like brunette or 34. It’s a swear word. It’s a weapon....
At its best – and I love a nice frock – fashion is a game. But for women, it’s a compulsory game, like netball. And you can’t get out of it by faking a period. I know. I’ve tried.
And that was the point I knew I just loved this filthy, ugly, loquacious man in a fur coat, who would spend the day roaming all over town, looking for bright lights, and laughter - and then at night c...
And of course, the deepest irony about the young being cynical is that they are the ones that need to move, and dance, and trust the most.
And how are . . . Mummy’s stitches? This, I was slightly thrown by. I knew my mother had had forty-two stitches after the birth, and that she was washing the stitches every day with warm salty water—s...
Abortions are never seen as a positive thing, as any other operation to remedy a potentially life-ruining condition would.
