Yes, I’m a feminist. It is an extension of my lifelong war against pantyhose. To me it means that as women we are individuals before we are gendered people and that we’re not defined by our gender except in the ways we chose to appropriate that definition. We’re in a weird generation, right? Our Moms were forced to grapple with that definition more immediately, and I think it’s changed as we’ve grown up. The core issue “how do I fight bias against me because of my gender” is still there but has gotten more complicated and wrapped into all kinds of identity issues about how you present yourself as a woman and I pretty much think it’s your choice and fuck pantyhose.

People couldn’t become truly holy, he said, unless they also had the opportunity to be definitely wicked.

It may help to understand human affairs to be clear that most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused, not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally bad, but by people being fundamentally people.

Annie Edison - The Politics of Human Sexuality (Community)
“You know what? I don’t want to express myself. I don’t want to sit in a room full of people and say…the “p” word. I like being repressed. I am totally comfortable with being uncomfortable with my sexuality. And maybe, just maybe, if everyone were a little bit more like me, we wouldn’t have to have an STD fair! By the way, now that I’ve gotten a good look at one, I don’t see what all the fuss was about. A giant thumb in a turtleneck. Whoop-dee-do!”
Because it’s actually men, you’ll find, who are the far more romantic. Men are the people you will hear say, “I’ve found somebody. She’s amazing. If I don’t get to be with this person, I’m fucked. I can’t carry on, no, I mean it, she’s totally transformed my life. I have a job, I have a flat, it means nothing. I can’t stand it, I have to be with her. Because if I don’t, I going to end up in some bedsit, I’ll be alcoholic, I’ll have itchy trousers. I can’t—I can’t walk the streets any more.” That is how women feel about shoes.
— Dylan Moran.
