Caitlin Moran Feminism Quotations

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.

It was the Spice Girls who messed it all up. And obviously, the appropriating of the phrase "girl power", which at that point overrode any notion of feminism, and which was a phrase that meant absolutely nothing apart from being friends with your girlfriends.

It's actually technically impossible for a woman to argue against feminism. Without feminism, you wouldn't be allowed to have a debate on a woman's place in society. You'd be too busy giving birth on the kitchen floor, biting down on a wooden spoon so as not to disturb the men's card game, before going back to hoeing the rutabaga field.

Feminism, as it stands, well... stands. It has ground to a halt.

Feminism means something - legislation, cultural change - but 'Girl Power' meant nothing more than being friends with your friends.

We need to reclaim the word feminism. We need to reclaim the word feminism real bad.
