- Hate
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Learning
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't regret not going to college. Students learn up to the age of 21, then stop. I'll always be learning - the things that really matter in life. How to sign on, how to get free food, how to be streetwise.

- Difficult Decisions
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I can honestly say that my abortion was one of the least difficult decisions of my life. I'm not being flippant when I say it took me longer to decide what worktops to have in the kitchen than whether I was prepared to spend the rest of my life being responsible for a further human being.
- Abortion
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The first thing to improve society is not banning abortion, but making sure that everyone who had a child is in the best position to be able to rear it.
- Right
- |

If you can find a frock you look nice in and can run up three flights of stairs, you're not fat.
- Free

What is feminism? Simply the belief that women should be as free as men, however nuts, dim, deluded, badly dressed, fat, receding, lazy, and smug they might be.
- Hair

Flyaway, problem hair is the enemy of feminism, and was probably invented by the Man to crush Susan Sontag.
- Children
- |

- Cinema
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I saw 'Pretty In Pink' at the cinema at the age of 11, I just thought it was a period piece from maybe 100 years previously. I had no idea that was what everybody was supposed to be wearing.
- Nov 07, 2020
You can crush any woman by suggesting that she's fat, not even saying the word 'fat' but just suggesting she's fat.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I see feminism as a massive party. It's cool, the idea that 50% of the population can now start doing things and having fun and experimenting with their hair and makeup.
- Food
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I remember, around age three, peas growing in the back garden. Pinching them from their pods and popping them in the mouth was my first realisation that food came from somewhere other than a shelf.
- Cake
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I learned that flour pound for pound has as many calories as sugar, and that when eating pasta you're basically eating cake, I was size 23, and my neck was restricting my breathing, and so I got on a microbiotic diet and got myself an exercise bike.
- Just
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Watching 'Girls' has just given me renewed courage.
- Moon
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The doughy-faced woman has been forced to sit on the sidelines of culture for too long, and it's now time for us to stand up with our big round faces like the moon and say we have things to say, too. We have a round-faced agenda we want to push.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The revolution doesn't always look perfect.
- Makeup
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In the early '90s, it was grunge; everybody was fully clothed. Alanis Morissette was one of the biggest artists in the world, never wore makeup, wearing Doc Marten boots, and then the Spice Girls turn up, and suddenly it all looks a bit burlesque; suddenly they're the biggest band in the world.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The word 'spinster' tells you everything you need to know about our attitude of women who choose not to marry.
- Family

Simultaneously, my two biggest heroes are Susan Sontag and Morticia Addams from 'The Addams Family.'
- Cake
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I can't live in a world where there are only, like, four kinds of women. Or where every woman is obsessed with cake. The very least I ask is that we have one female character in the world who likes savory things! I don't have any role models who like cheese!
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Most women I know love the idea of fashion, but the practicalities that go with it are just distressing.
- Forfeit
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I hate that tabloid idea of anybody who is famous having to forfeit their privacy.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I once went into a meeting, and every woman put her a million-pound bag on the table. Then I'm there with my tote bag and anorak. And I'm like, well, I'm still the most important person in the room right now.
- Blue
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm quite British; I've got big, flat feet, and I can't wear heels. I've got very, very pale Celtic skin, so my legs are always a frightening blue color. So when you take out clothes that reveal your legs, shoes that have any kind of heel, no shop will actually take my money.
- Random
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It used to be if you wanted something nice to wear, you would sew it yourself for your body type. Women before the 20th century didn't have this problem. Now, it seems we're all squeezed into random designs. They're designed for no one.
- Classic

- Men
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Men have made the world. And they've made a brilliant job of it. I love men. You know, men, you built Paris and you invented The Beatles, and, you know, and you've taught dogs to say 'sausages.' You know, I love your world. Thank you for it.
- Hate
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In the U.K., we have a paper called 'The Daily Mail,' which is quite misogynist. And every day, it just writes pieces about: 'Women, you're going to die now! Women, here's shoes that give you cancer! Women, just hate yourselves!'
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The thing is, one in three women in the Western world will end up having an abortion, but they never talk about it. When you keep silent about that stuff, it is because you are embarrassed by the societal distaste of the topic.
- Got
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've generally got low levels of embarrassment.
- End
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't campaign for the end of the aristocracy or the upper classes; I don't really want to destroy anything at all. I just want more plurality.
- Gothic
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love puffins. They are small, round gothic birds, and their babies are called pufflings.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am pathetically law-abiding.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Poor
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Nov 07, 2020
Benedict Cumberbatch is very beautiful.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I can't think of anything I hate more than a former punk - they are the most self-righteous people in the world.
- Men
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think there should be anything that women are embarrassed to talk about in the 21st century, because for the last 100,000 years, men have said everything that's on their minds and described everything they have done.
- Mouth
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I genuinely miss writing now on the rare days I don't write; my mouth waters when I think about writing, and I have an extreme physical reaction to the idea of doing it.
- Makeup
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I say this in the spirit of feminist encouragement, but I think I'm pretty hot. I've got all the facial features, facing the right way, at the right end, and you can always paint over the bad bits with makeup.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
One of the great things about being a writer/journalist is that my boss loves me to go out and do features on being someone else. I did a feature on Kate Middleton, where I went to an incredible fancy state home in the countryside, put on a wedding dress and posed for engagement pictures with a fake Prince William.
- Mental Health
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Mental health is seen as a massive drag to have to write about - worthy, dull. Something you should 'have' to read / write about.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like a little bit of revolution. I think it's a very good hobby for a young woman. Better than squash.
- Change
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The idea of not being able to control my own fertility genuinely terrifies me. That one mistake might change your life. That everything I am, and do, could be ended by the repeal of laws our mothers fought so hard for, that women had waited for the entire span of humanity to come about.
- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think that women being seen as inferior is a prejudice based on male hatred of women. When you look at history, it's a prejudice based on simple fact.
- Death
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think there are brilliant jokes to be made about abortion, and we should be able to talk about this in the way that we make jokes about death - you should be able to make jokes about everything.
- Lonely
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm so glad I spent 10 years being sad and lonely.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Every woman who chooses - joyfully, thoughtfully, calmly, of their own free will and desire - not to have a child does womankind a massive favour in the long term.
- Night
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I loved Riot Grrl. Not only was it a punk rock revolution, but it meant you could get dressed for a night out for less than two pounds!
- Friends
