GQ interview: Difficult Women

by | Mar 9, 2020 | book, interview

“I die a little inside when I see corporate programmes celebrating female staff members as “champions” when the company won’t provide a crèche. You know, “Thank you for my International Women’s Day cupcake, but can you explain what you’re doing to fix your gender pay gap?”The other extreme is people performatively announcing that “sexism is bad” and that they are opposed to it. “Oh, those Saudi Arabians, eh? Terrible.” Which is all very well, but what are they actually doing to advance the cause of feminism beyond loudly supporting it in the vaguest possible terms? We won’t tweet our way to better employment protections.”-GQ
