The System Of Heroism Depends On Women

My Feminist View - That Gender Is On A Continuum And We Are All Better Off Dropping A Lot Of Those Binary Notions - Is One That Is Shared By The More Recent Generation Of Trans Activists And Theorists.

To Be Unwed And Female Was To Succumb To An Illness With Only One Known Cure: Marriage.

The Point Of Feminism ... Is To Win Women A Wider Range Of Experience. Feminism Remains A Pretty Simple Concept, Despite Repeated - And Enormously Effective - Efforts To Dress It Up In Greasepaint And Turn Its Proponents Into Gargoyles.

I Think A Reason That A Lot Of People Feel Politically Paralysed Is That It Used To Be Clear How Power Was Organised. But Those Who Have Their Hands On The Levers Of Popular Culture Today Have Great Power - And It Isn't Even Clear Who They Are.

The Media And The Rest Of Popular Culture Weren't Recording People's Reactions To 9/11; They Were Forcing Made-up Reactions Down People's Throats.
