A linguagem nos diz exatamente o que pensamos das mulheres solteiras -- esta tudo la, na diferenca entre "solteirao" e "ficou para titia". Os solteiroes tem tudo. As titias precisam correr atras de tudo, e rapido. A demanda de mercado dita o valor de uma mulher: se e solteira, nao e desejada e, portanto -- se esse estado das coisas permanecer por um tempo --, e menos desejavel."

I'm 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 exhausting being cynical. You are trying to be an immovable, angry rock in the middle of a stream. But the stream will not move. It is you that will be worn down to dull silt.

At school, I could see some of my contemporaries were choosing not to be active women--out there, making their own fate--but to be princesses, just waiting to be "found" and married, instead."

But the problem with battling yourself is that even if you win, you lose. At some point--scarred and exhausted--you either accept that you must become a woman--that you are a woman--or you die.

El feminismo tradicional dira que estos temas no son los importantes, que debemos centrarnos en lo fundamental: la desigualdad salarial, la ablacion femenina en el Tercer Mundo y la violencia de genero. Y es obvio que estos son asuntos urgentes, vergonzosos e injustos, y que el mundo no podra ir con la frente alta hasta que se solucionen. Pero todos esos otros problemas mas pequenos, estupidos y cotidianos son, en muchos sentidos, igual de..

Precisamos retomar a palavra "feminismo". Precisamos muito, mas muito mesmo pegar de volta a palavra "feminismo". Quando aparecem estatisticas dizendo que apenas 29% das mulheres norte-americanas se descrevem como feministas -- e apenas 42% das inglesas --, eu penso: o que voces acham que feminismo e, mocas? Que parte da "liberacao das mulheres" nao e para voces? Sera que e o direito de votar? De nao ser uma posse do marido? A campanha por ..

En el mundo actual, esta idea trasnochada de que hace a los hombres deseables para las mujeres es absurda y obsoleta: como demuestra el hecho de que normalmente sea gente de mas de cuarenta anos la que habla de ello. Para casi todo el mundo por debajo de esa edad, vivimos en una epoca en la que realmente lo que hace a un hombre <> es evitar peleas (el sistema legal es un conazo, ademas de caro), ser divertido (estamos sentados sobre c..

fat" such power is, of course, no good at all. . . . Say it until you lose the nervousness around it, say it until it seems normal--like the word "tray"--and eventually becomes meaningless. Point at things and call them "fat." "That tile is fat." "The wall is fat.' "I believe Jesus is fat." The heat needs to be drained out of the word "fat, like a fever from a child. We need to stare, clearly and calmly, right into the middle of fat and tal..

All through those stumbling, mortifying, amazing years, I thought that what I want to be was a woman. [...] But as the years went on, I realised that what I really want to be, all told, is a human. Just a productive, honest, courteously treated human. One of 'The Guys'. But with really amazing hair.

If I'm going to spunk PS500 on a pair of designer shoes, it's going to be a pair that I can (a) dance to Bad Romance in and (b) will allow me to run away from a murderer, should one suddenly decide to give chase. That's the minimum I ask from my footwear. To be able to dance in it, and for it not to get me murdered.

Not all of them say 'You're shit!' - some of them say 'You're great!', but in a way, that's worse. Because when lots of other people have said 'You're shit!', you feel you have a duty to tell the people who say 'You're great!' that a lot of other people think you're shit, and that they should maybe bear those statistics in mind before they make their final analysis.

I can't be the only one who's occasionally had a fuck so spectacular, all-encompassing, cinematic and intense that, at the e..

A gig, I realise now, is a place where people come together and give permission for anything to happen. Things can be said and shouted and sung; people get pissed; people get kissed - there is a communal agenda of joyous wilding.

Recently, it has behoved modish magazines to print interviews with young women, who explain that their career as strippers is paying their way through university. This is thought to pretty much end any objections against strip clubs, on the basis that, look!, clever girls are doing it - in order to become middle-class professionals with degrees! Ipso facto Girl Power! For myself, I can't believe that girls saying 'Actually, I'm paying my un..
