Thought For The Day: Antony Hegarty

"Future Feminist Foundation is not a group that thinks women should just crawl towards economic equality in the way we have been engaged in since the 60s. That can't be the climax of feminism.
"It's like gay rights, as if gay marriage is the end point, as if we just want to be included in these business-as-usual institutions. That's not the point of being queer, just as mitigated reproductive rights aren't the point of being a woman.
"We want to move this forward. Do something great... overturn all these failed male structures of thinking, all this aggression in decision-making."

From a cracking interview with our Ant'ny in the Observer by Tim Adams, particularly good on young Mr Hegarty's influences, musical and performance arty.

PS Googling "Future Feminist Foundation" - a NY group he says he helped found - only brings you back to this article. Anyone?
