Was working with Zoe Davidson last night again at the Degree Show at DJCAD. Her show caused quite a stir which made me really happy for her. I think her work is terrific and I’m so glad I was able to help her out. She would have done amazing regardless I’m just delighted to have been part of it.

Anonymous asked: Millhouse's father Analysis of a Tired Man I like the sympathy you show to these characters Middle aged white father from suburbia with a car that won't start a wife who is totally indiffirent and society doesn't care hal from malcolm in the middle we feel his pain cause thats us i am young but an old guy before my time and work long hours and yes I am angry god damn it but i've never felt understood as a demographic by a girl before as in your writing very good

Thank you! I’m a “Daddy’s girl” and have a lot of empathy for anyone who is downtrodden; be it a man, woman or child. I feel sometimes men get a bad reputation for their behaviour but problems don’t exist in vacuums. There is always a trigger for a persons actions and sometimes it’s another person.

I generally prefer writing about men, as a girl I like the challenge of thinking outwith my own gender and all it’s familiarities to write men instead. Maybe that’s weird… I have wondered about that before.

Anonymous asked: Ever put your self in the shoes of a guy trying to get laid and thought of taking one for the team ? imagine what it's like being a guy who doesn't get laid There should be such a thing as Womanly Duties and Manly Duties ie opening car doors lifting bags

Comparing “duties” as having sex with a man, and opening doors for a woman is insipid, insensitive and juvenile. The comparison trivialises both feminine sexuality and the female mind.

The decision to be penetrated, invaded willingly and intimately, by a man is hardly on par with the act of opening a door. For a woman, having sex is ultimately about letting another person inside your body, literally under your skin. This is something a heterosexual man will never experience and thus to boil it down to the level of the gesture of opening a door suggests to me the man who feels that way is not worth sleeping with in the first place.

Anonymous asked: Why Don't Feminists Celebrate Margaret thatcher ? They scream Smashed the patriarchy well Maggie T did.. and they didn't back her or support her

I’m not sure… I was never politically a fan of Thatcher, I felt her policies were marginalising and provided little follow up support for those who needed it, but I greatly respect her as a person. However, that being said, to make it as Prime Minister I feel she had to outwardly behave like a man, which is not a criticism of her, but of society, that we attribute qualities of leadership to men. She was hounded for being a “monster not a mother” but the very nature of mothering is to lead and nurture, like she attempted to do with the country.

I am starting to ramble now, suffice to say I need longer to dissect this issue, but I think Margaret Thatcher proved a woman can lead a country and, moreover, points out the shocking and massively complex undertones of sexism still prevalent in society today.
