The English fashion designer and businesswoman Vivienne Westwood died a couple of days ago. I can’t recall ever learning anything worth reading from a Guardian article before, but this interview of her (from 2008) is an exception. An extract:

“Oh no, I’m anti-feminist,” she says. “They don’t see the wood for the trees and everything has to be viewed from this feminist point of view. I know women have suffered and I think it’s great that people stand up for women’s rights but the problem with feminists is that they somehow consider women to be superior beings. And in the end, they just want to be men anyway. They want to do men’s work.” I try to ask her what she means by “men’s work” but she steamrollers on. “[Feminists] certainly underestimate the power women [have had] in influencing their children, or men.”
