“I am surprised the patriarchy has not yet erected a monument to ‘Consent’, inscribed with the words, ‘without which none of this would have been possible.’ Perhaps no other concept has confused so many people for so long. Women ‘consent’ to: a lifetime of unpaid domestic and sexual service (she wanted to get married); badly paid monotonous work (she took the job); clothing which restricts movement and damages health (no one marched her to the shop at gunpoint); etc., etc.”

2. Isn’t it Ironic?
As previously mentioned (in the first chapter, which you can read here), at first my love for One Direction’s music was my dirty little secret. One that I so desperately wanted to share with others, but one I felt would not be understood by most.
For weeks and weeks, I would listen to Up All Night by myself on my way to work, sitting in my car chain-smoking the drive away with my fantastic bowl cut and vintage Ray Bans. As much as I hated to admit it, I liked it. The music was fun, carefree and upbeat. It was easy to sing along to, easy to remember and very hard to forget. But above all else, it took hold of my imagination and drove me to dream of new things, it helped shape the way I wrote.
Every time I would hear it while shopping, or on TV I would smile. Heck, it made me enjoy life again, like I was being a teenager for the first time at 18. After just a few weeks of experiencing all that One Direction had to offer, I had to tell someone.
