“Women are overloaded. We are stretched. Across the board. With or without children, we are not over the hill of feminism - we are barely getting started.”

“There is no cookie cutter answer to what is right or wrong. It's personal, just like whether you have a baby or not is and should be a personal choice.”

“It feels like feminism has caught women in this strange in between stage where we are striving towards equality but what we have ended up with is something more insidious.”

“It's interesting because I meet women who don't want to end up like me. They fear being lonely and not having a life partner. But I find it a privilege as I am so free.”

“Feminism has left us with a confusion about the male and female roles...Maybe if a woman grows and births children and is constantly demanded upon, perhaps their partner (whatever their gender) needs to be intuitive and fill in the gaps. Isn't that common sense, or is that wishful thinking?”

“How many women in the world haven't even had an orgasm? How many are putting up with shit sex just so they can have some perceived security? Or those women who give birth, go back to work and just take it on e chin that they have to morph into the equivalent of three standard humans. Resilience is something women are very good at. Too good in fact.”

“I am acutely aware of the progress that was made for women to have the right to work, to live alone, to take the contraceptive pill, to vote, to burn their bras, but we only really arrived halfway. What began as a brilliant innovation towards the liberation of women has halted or at least slowed down to arrive at another form of patriarchal oppression. Women are doing too much. We are pressed and squeezed for too much of ourselves.”

“We are at breaking point. We can't breathe for expectation. And when our male counterparts want to help us usually they ask, what they can do? Asking what you can do is the same as creating another job. If I need to explain what to do and how to do it and all the ingredients of doing that thing properly I honestly may as well do it myself. Women feel overlooked, taken for granted, exhausted by where feminism came and then abandoned us.”

“Successful women from the celebrity community are being vocal about choosing to be alone...It's because once women reach a level of financial independence where they can actually for the help they desperately need they are realising how little contribution being in romantic relationships is making to their lives. They are tired. At time it's easier to choose to have no one in the house to resent for not helping you with you load than to face loneliness itself.”

“You are not always capable of all the things you take on.
It's OK to say, "I'm sorry, I can't do that right now".
It's OK to do less.
It's OK to sleep more/get early nights.
Mind and body are two different things - they don't always agree.
You don't have to please everyone.”
