Young
Caitlin Moran, a journalist and author, turns around in the middle of our conversation to reveal a storyboard for her next project, a utopian sci-fi described as a cross between Weird Science and The Handmaid’s Tale.
Whether that sounds appealing depends on whether you’ve previously been captivated by Moran’s unique blend of whimsy and wit.
“All science fiction films are dystopian.”
It’s always about the future and how technology has ruined everything and we’re all screwed.
“I believe this is because, in general, men create them, but technology is amazing, especially for women,” she says
“Every time we have a piece of technology that allows us to compete on a level playing field because it’s just about your brains rather than your muscles,” he says.
Daughters
I adore Caitlin Moran.
Apart from maybe two other comediennes, Caitlin’s hilarious articles and observations have completely strengthened my feminist streak and outlook over the last few years.
She’s a jerk and..
Have I mentioned how much I adore her?!
Her most recent piece, Posthumous Advice For My Daughter, is spot-on in so many ways.
First and foremost, Moran is still smoking, and I’m envious.
I used to smoke but gave it up when I had kids and miss it almost every evening in the quiet time after I’ve successfully wrestled the kids to bed.
That is prime time to have a drink and a cigarette in the back garden by yourself.
But now I fill the void with Netflix and knitting.
Yes, I’m knitting now.
I know, I KNOW.
Second, Caitlin’s advice to her daughter
Parent
Moran explains to parents of adolescent daughters that “there is a time in your adolescent development when you have to be sexy Cinderella.”
…
It’s the moment that most parents will die of heart failure.”
“The problem with raising strong, intelligent, feminist daughters who are excellent at arguing is that the first person they practise being strong, intelligent, argumentative, feminists on is you.”
“It’s so difficult. As a parent, you’re constantly scared… and as soon as they smell blood in the water, they can just get in there and say things like’slut shame,’ and you’re just too old and confused to know what to say.”
Moran’s daughter, who had an eating disorder, encouraged her mother to get help.
