British writer and journalist Caitlyn MoranSucceeding with a feminist biography ‘how to be a womanPublished in SpainMore than a woman’ (The Anagram) and I just finished a book to help men express their feelings. He talked about sex in Palma this Sunday and signed hundreds of copies to his followers.
Have you been to Magaluf?
No. Magaluf’s reputation in England is that the worst Brits come here on vacation, get drunk and then have sex on the beach. That’s why I wanted to meet him, ha ha.
If your daughters told you they were coming, what would you suggest?
I’ve already talked to them and told them “You’re going to love it!” I said. I spent two hours swimming in the sea on Saturday and it was amazing. If I can do that while my girls are having sex, then everyone is happy.
Magaluf has many clubs stripnot the cabarets he championed in his first book.
I saw them. This always upsets me because it’s basically girl zoos. Cabaret is more feminine, empowering women and targeting lesbians and gay men, clubs are for straights and that’s another story. Also, they have terrible food. I went to one and examined it. Two pieces of advice in life: Never eat a man’s food. table dance And don’t go party on a boat because you’re stuck and can’t go home.
there’s a lot here too party boat.

In ‘How to be a woman’ she stated that feminism is in a dead end. Then came the Me Too movement. What is the next step?
It’s gotten exciting over the last few years, and we’re at a tipping point. One of the reasons I love Me Too is because it pretty much sums up what feminism is. They are not professional feminists who have all the ideas and could write the bible of feminism to say which one is true, but they are normal women from all over the world. It’s a movement that starts with hashtags #metoo and millions of women from there have found a way to speak their truth. This allowed men to understand what women went through, that they were all harassed and even raped in some way. And we answer: “Yeah, boy, that’s why we’re so scared and fed up.”
What to do now?
We need men to know that they can help us with feminism. Oftentimes, feminists have been their own worst enemies when they say that men cannot be feminists. This confuses the target. I want to reach the day when feminism no longer exists because it does its job and everyone believes in gender equality. I hope my grandchildren don’t know what feminism is, but it can only happen if we all believe in it, and for that we need to unite men. Feminism is like a good virus, sexy and the rock and roll coronavirus. I want to sneeze and let the virus reach the whole world, because that’s the only way it will work.
How can they be added?
We have to explain to them that feminism is good for them. The second cause of death among men in Europe is suicide, that is, people who cannot express their pain due to incompetence and die because of it. This is infuriating and we shouldn’t let children think that committing suicide is easier than explaining how they feel. We are experts at talking about our feelings and I want to help men too. My next book is about that.
The one titled ‘Essential Feminism for Men’?
Yes, I finished writing this week. For them, it’s about how to invent feminism. They need help. When you enter a bookstore, there is a section called Women, but there is no section called Men. We have to start teaching them our skills, because unlike what we always do, they don’t write or talk to each other about their problems or feelings.
Palahniuk commented on this at his conference and said we don’t need a fight club because of that.
Article! I’d love to meet you. I’ll write him an email and we’ll be friends.
Queen How did you experience Elizabeth’s funeral?
I’m a journalist and I’ve interviewed people standing in line 24 hours a day. I was surprised that they were mostly women, and when they got to the coffin they kissed and said “thank you”. Thousands of women did the same, and I, who is not a monarchist, thought: Something is going on here.
What?
When she took the throne in 1952, there was neither women’s liberation nor feminism, but it was a time when all the powerful in the world were men. And suddenly this young, beautiful woman becomes the strongest woman with her lipstick, clothes and baby. It was a radical change, and I think it affected thousands of women and the cultural revolution in England in the 1960s. It showed that there are other people who can be powerful, not just rich white men, but four young Liverpool working-class men. or a young woman.
The sixth season of The Crown. Has the view of monarchy changed in England?
No, because we already know everything. We complain it’s short, there’s more to be told and it will be over before the sexual harassment charges against Prince Andrew. We want more, we want to see Prince Andrew on display!
Is the script of the movie you wrote on pornography a documentary or a fiction?
Based on the true story of a group of mothers in England who were horrified by the type of pornography their teenage sons saw, and decided to make a pornofeminist film so that their children could have quality porn. Today’s porn only shows you one episode and we have to show you everything to be useful: real people fucking, different kinds of sex, gentle scenes, not violence. Other than paying for feminist porn, you don’t have it on the internet right now and there are no kids to do it. This is almost always about money, which is why teens need free porn.
What do you see now?
All young men watch porn on the internet, and most girls do, and that’s where they get their sex ideas from. The problem is they think it’s formative, real sex, but pornography isn’t sex. They also don’t realize that porn is staring at them, so what you’ve been watching for years eventually becomes your sexual imagination, and it’s what will keep you ejaculating for the rest of your life. And if what you’re watching is violence, harassment, or something unpleasant, of course you won’t find anyone willing to do that with you, and all you’ll have is pornography. That’s the thing, getting your addiction so that’s the only area where you find your sexual freedom. During my research, many addicts say that they can’t look a woman in the eye when they’re having sex or masturbating because it looks so intense that they usually look at the screen. I’ve had brutal interviews with kids who told me that internet algorithms are giving them increasingly extreme images and that they don’t see violence. Young girls watching this are horrified and say they don’t want to have sex because they fear they will be hurt.
He says masturbation is a political act. Why? Why?
Because if teen girls don’t masturbate, if they’re having sex with a man for the first time, he might be the one to teach them, and men aren’t exactly experts on women. One of the things I love about being straight is that guys are so easy. The gender of women is much more complex and each one is different, so you need to know yourself to explain to men what you like and the only way is to masturbate. Nobody likes it when sex doesn’t work, and eventually women don’t get pregnant and the human species ends. That’s why it’s a political act and it’s also free, it doesn’t make you fat and it relaxes you.
