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'

"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'

The Guardian's Zoe Williams outlines the rules for criticizing billionaires, and offers a critique of their effect on the world:
"A certain discursive paralysis sets in when we are all talking constantly about billionaire behaviour, billion-seeking business models, billionaire agendas, billionaire networks, but remain too shy to ask whether billionaires should exist at all. There is pretty broad agreement, not limited to generation Z or the socialist republic of New York, that this minuscule wealth class undermines democracy in myriad ways, that they mostly erode workplace rights and drive down wages, that the pharaohs of tech are algorithmically mushing our brains, that their philanthropy is often sleight of hand, that they don’t want to fix the climate crisis – indeed, they are actively looking forward to the apocalypse with a side order of civil war, because it means there will be fewer of us. But we rigorously avoid the logical conclusion: that maybe having a billion dollars in the first place is innately bad."
