The British press was so unbelievably cruel. And then at press conferences I would have to sit there while these guys who had written about how fat I was asked me questions. And you know sports writers are not necessarily in the best shape themselves. These enormous guys, asking me if I could be in better shape - I mean, look at yourself in the mirror! Don’t be so brutal!

Do you
1 a) Walk into the room and get talking to a nice woman about her nanny?

3 a) Love sitting round the kitchen table with girlfriends and bottles of wine?
b) Not do girlfriends, unless they are married to hot men?
4 a) Want a white wedding and a house on the beach?
b) Want a his’n’hers tattoo or matching phials of blood and a gimp dungeon?
5 a) Have a couple of good men friends who you rely on for advice?
b) Have only ex-lovers, who you rely on for sex in-between relationships?
6 a) Think the basis of a lasting relationship is trust and friendship?
b) Think lasting relationships exist only in Disney movies?
7 a) Want to do something to make a difference, like volunteer at a soup kitchen?

And let’s be honest: Isn’t there some inherent sexism in focusing on the weight of a woman who is making a living because of her singing and songwriting skills? Does every Jack Black interview have to include “relevant” information about his weight? Seth Rogen became a star without a svelte physique. No one cared if we posted about those guys without mentioning their weight, but women must be small and tiny and delicate and therefore feminine, right? And let’s not pretend this is a health issue: We see images of stars smoking and drinking and frighteningly thin, and never get emails about how we’re “promoting” those unhealthy lifestyles.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a woman in possession of an egg sandwich must be in want of a park to eat it in.
When you picture a victim of forced marriage, whom do you see? Probably an uneducated, young Asian girl, from a deeply traditional and authoritarian family. But research published last week suggests there could be 8,000 forced marriage cases in England each year, affecting African, European and Middle Eastern communities as well. Victims in 14 per cent of cases are male; 14 per cent are under 16. A worrying proportion involves people with learning disabilities who may not have the capacity to consent.

Bad news, ladies: you’re cunts, too. We’re all cunts, to those guys. We’re either cunts they’re going to fuck, or cunts they used to fuck (SHE WAS A PSYCHO, BRO. SHE GOT ALL MAD JUST BECAUSE I SLEPT WITH A BUNCH OF OTHER GIRLS AND DIDN’T TELL HER ABOUT IT) or cunts they don’t want to fuck, which are the worst cunts of all, of course, because the cunts they don’t want to fuck often scare the shit out of them, due to the fact that those cunts don’t constantly send out signals indicating that it would just be the bestest thing ever if boys such as themselves would honor them with a boner. And this is a survival tactic, for many cunts of the latter category: we’re actually, purposefully, trying to scare those guys off, so that we can determine which ones get freaked out by women who act like people, and maybe eventually end up dating ones who don’t get freaked out, who not only sleep with us and maybe have feelings for us that are of the romantical nature but actually like us, the way you would like a person.
