Feminist. Author of Hags: The Demonisation of Middle-aged Women and Unkind: How 'Be Kind' Entrenched Sexism. Totally cheery apart from all that.
Good to be reminded why I wrote Hags. Older women already shoulder a disproportionate burden of work (paid and unpaid). "Nothing better to do" means, I guess, "shouldn't be doing politics, and certainly shouldn't be celebrating any political gains"

From Hags. I'm glad more people are seeing it (even if some of them called me a Karen for writing it two years ago, and probably will again tomorrow)

From Hags, on the privileged middle-aged woman who's meant to shut up but, unbelievably, doesn't

Ha! Me and my partner saw it on Sunday ...

I'm not saying the crucifixion was a cancellation as such, but this does seem a weird example for "couldn't get away with that now"

It's as if we know nothing about social contagion, adolescent flight from the female body, and how girls feel they have to 'show their scars' to have their pain taken seriously

Wow. Shedding light on a truly awful thing happening to a woman who's already struggling to rebuild her trust is apparently "intolerance" here (me finding this bad is no doubt "intolerance" too)
