It's not always easy to find one's way, but the other evening I was taking a good look at myself in one of the mirrors in my loft when I had a moment of revelation. I'm gorgeous, and yet I take pride in my celibacy; I combine the lusciousness of Naomi Wolf with the brimstone austerity of Andrea Dworkin. Yes, at last I have become a feminist icon!
Giddy with excitement, I opened my laptop and, with trembling fingers, entered 'Feminism': 160,000 pages, while 'David Beckham' appears in only 62,000, a triumph for sisters everywhere (mind you, 'Diet' gets 1.5 million; 'Sex', 7.5 million; 'Money', 10.3 million; and 'Power,' 14 million, which makes you wonder).
There really is something for everybody, from anarcho-feminist texts at www.spunk.org to all manner of self-defence tricks, which I downloaded from www.safetyforwomen.com.
I found the Internet Primer for Feminists most informative, but I fell for Amazonian Warrior Chicks for Nicaraguan Feminism. Unfortunately, the site does not explain how to become an Amazon Warrior Chick, a role I think would suit my personality really well. If you have any suggestions on how to achieve this, please email them to me.
For old-fashioned people who need a sense of balance in every argument, you can try Sympathy For The Male. I discovered in the Primer For Feminists that a health centre in Connecticut pays $5,000 for a good egg from a healthy donor. If you are interested in a simpler way of earning a bit of money, you can register with www.ciao.com, a consumer site covering a number of fields, and including reviews from the public. They'll pay up to £100 for your views on any relevant product.
