Martin Amis: Fembot?
“Here’s an example: A few months ago, I was at an event at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. And I said, ‘Hands up, those of you who feel morally superior to the Taliban.’ And about 30 trembling hands went up. And then I spoke about the Taliban for a bit, about how they black up the windows of the houses to which women are confined. It’s a funny moment we’re living through. If you don’t feel morally superior to the Taliban, then you don’t feel morally superior to anyone.”
