Zoe can still really slam one home when she feels inclined

'Rev Marcus Green had set himself the challenge of feministly reading a book, the Bible, in which almost none of the women have a name...There’s one who is the mother of the sons of Zebedee, but even though she has actual lines and he has none, he still gets this cracking name, while you have to piece her identity together by triangulating other accounts, like an investigator at a crime scene'

Why do we need International Women’s Day? Apart from misogyny and Christian nationalism, you mean?

I should probably be fuming about the way that companies try to cash in on IWD. But there are so many vile opinions to worry about instead, writes Zoe Williams

"Critique and challenge is not addressed but it is welcomed, because it delivers a fresh domestic enemy, the metropolitan (UK) or liberal (US) elite. Being called a liar is proof that the leader isn’t playing their establishment game, so 'Trump, for all that he tells lies all the time, is so disinhibited and off-the-cuff that he’s seen as more honest, more authentic than his opponents', [Tim] Bale says. This is quite new."

Zoe Williams on a proposed UK social media ban

'if there’s one thing more ridiculous than taking a corporate failure and throwing it to the individual to solve, by self-discipline reinforced by legislation, it is doing so to under-16s. If a corporation is selling radical misogyny and methods for self-harm – because what else are they going to do, disappoint shareholders? – that is not for a 12-year-old to fix by turning off their phone and taking up crochet'

Social media are corrupting young minds – but a ban is not the answer

Kicking under-16s off the social platforms is tempting, but it ignores the root of the problem: the older generations who made them so toxic in the first place, writes Zoe Williams
