Welcome to Litsy!

Finally getting around to posting about the Newcastle Writer‘s Festival back in April. Right before I head to the Sydney Writer‘s Festival next wk. I learn so much at these fests & ❤️ using my 🧠 again. This lecture was called The Case Against Marriage. It‘s so fab to have a writer‘s festival in my home town. I went Sat & Sun & caught up with friends both days. My highlight was seeing Girl in a Pink Dress author, Kylie Needham twice.

So many quotable words in this book. She has done so much research. I'm really enjoying this book.

Ahh Clem, you‘ve done it again. This is Clementine Ford‘s 4th non-fiction book. It‘s a deep dive into marriage.
She challenges, informs, innovates, affirms, and puts a fire cracker up the arse of the patriarchy ☄️🍑🚹. I love her work so much.
Read it. And get your daughters to read it 👊.

I really baulk at the idea that I am a man-hater. I am married to man and have two gorgeous sons and a stepson.
As I have gotten older (and wiser 😉) I have felt myself relating more and more to my mum, who was a staunch second wave feminist. She was often accused of being a man-hater.
And then I read this ⬆️ in Clementine Ford‘s latest book. I am now going to proudly claim the title of ‘man-seer‘💪🔥🙏.

Clementine stretches my brain. It‘s not always comfortable, but it is ultimately satisfying to interrogate yourself & your position on things.
“Feminism is not about choice. Feminism is about liberating the world from patriarchy”.

Really getting into this book about marriage by Clementine Ford 🔥

My other #currentread. Excited for this one.
