"Reasonably sitting around waiting for equality while empowering oneself with some silicone implants does not really seem to have worked wonders, does it ladeez? Postfeminism – as personified by the Sex and the City generation – basically confused sexual liberation with shopping: a mistaken strategy even within its own market-driven terms. So we live on a permanent diet of crumbs from the table. A woman over 50 gets to be on TV! Whoopdiwhoop! Its a victory, sure, but is that all there is? Its time to wake up and smell the skinny latte. A woman is murdered in Bristol and the response is to tell women to stay at home?! For their own safety. Though no one thinks its a woman doing the murdering. A curfew on men would be considered a monstrous idea, even though most women live with internalised curfews anyway."

"Before he died in 2018, a long-term user of the NHS who had motor neurone disease warned against insurance systems run by private companies. Stephen Hawking, for it was he, said the fairest way to deliver healthcare was the NHS."
Suzanne Moore"Should you wind up in a car crash, private medicine will be as useful to you as homoeopathy."
Suzanne Moore"If the idea of women organising autonomously is transphobic you are walking into a cul-de-sac, which absolutely traps people in boxes that benefit the patriarchy. Because there is nothing the patriarchy fears more than women who no longer rely on male authority."
Suzanne Moore"[On Russell Brand a year later] [T]he Jesus Clown is pilloried for being a dreadful influence on young people. If the youth dont vote, then policies that continue to punish them will be waved through by our decrepit politicians. Actually, the Jesus Clown is not what I call a young person, [[John Lydon|[John] Lydon]] isnt, and I am certainly not, but the Clown has a reach, thats for sure. My 13-year-old adores him, and the part of me that is for ever 13 gets why. A lot of what he says is sub-Chomskyian woo, but these frustrations with existing political structures – they exist. Somehow it is always assumed that young people are naive idealists who, when they grow up and understand how things really work or don’t work at all, will buckle down and do the right thing. The right thing here means voting Labour."
Suzanne Moore"They say he has made the mistake of demanding the impossible – and they are right. He has demanded the impossible. But it wasnt a mistake."
Suzanne Moore"The sight of the hard left coalescing around Julian Assange is indeed sore. Yet again, those most vociferous about human rights seem somehow not to see womens rights as part of the same conversation."
