I have a rule of thumb that allows me to judge-when time is pressing and one needs to make a snap judgment-whether some sexist bullshit is afoot. Obviously it's not 100 percent infallible but, but by...
I have a rule for working out if the root problem of something is, in fact, sexism. And it is this: asking 'Are the boys doing it? Are the boys having to worry about this stuff? Are the boys the centr...
I believe in music and gin and joy and talking too much and human kindness.
Here’s the amazing thing about sex: you get a whole person to yourself, for the first time since you were a baby. Someone who is looking at you—just you—and thinking about you, and wanting you, and yo...
But if there is to be a fifth wave of feminism, I would hope that the main thing that distinguishes it from all that came before is that women counter the awkwardness, disconnect, and bullshit of bein...
Between 60 and 80 percent of strippers come from a background of sexual abuse.
Your mind is the projection screen every writer steals; it is the firing of your neurones that makes every book come alive. You are the electricity that turns it on. A book cannot live until the touch...
Your key hobbies need to be long country walks (get some fresh air in those lungs!), masturbation, and the revolution. Between those three, you should, in the long term, stay relatively sane.
You never hear the word breasts in a positive scenario. Breasts are bad news.
When people ask workingwomen, When are you going to have a baby? what they’re really asking is When are you going to leave?
We need more women who are allowed to prove their worth as people, rather than being assessed merely for their potential to create new people.
We live now in a glorious age which we might term 'Post Frozen'. Frozen – the feminist Disney movie where the idiot sexy prince turns out to be a betraying motherfuck, and the whole plot revolves arou...
The more women argue, loudly, against feminism, the more they both prove it exists and that they enjoy its hard-won privileges.
Porque esta exigencia de que todas las mujeres tengan hijos no tiene la menor lógica. Si te detienes a pensar un momento cómo está el mundo, te das cuenta de que están naciendo un montón de niños: el...
No estoy segura de que 'ser' sea algo innato en la mujer, que vengamos así programadas (...) se me ocurre que durante mucho tiempo, cuando has pasado milenios sin que te permitan hacer nada, tiendes a...
My fat years were when I was not human shaped. I was a 16-stone triangle, with inverted triangle legs, and no real neck. And that’s because I wasn’t doing human things. I didn’t walk or run or dance o...
Kriss gives me a sibling-punch. Anyone who has a sibling will know what that is—a punch that really hurts quite a lot, and that is meant to, but that you cannot take offense at, or retaliate against,...
I would love someone to empirically tell me what I should do. Having to guess - improvise - all the time is so wearying.
I have a rule of thumb that allows me to judge - when time is pressing and one needs to make a snap judgment - whether some sexist bullshit is afoot. Obviously it is not 100 percent infallible but, by...
Hay una generación entera que confunde ''feminismo'' con ''cualquier cosa relacionada con la mujer''.
