In fact she has just about resisted all the modern misogynistic pressures put on women that seem to have escalated in the last 20 years(see OWMMS). She doesn't even suffer high heels! She was largely boycotted in the US after a series of defiant acts back in the 1990's. BUT SHE'S BACK! Sinead O'Connor will be on Primetime TV - worldwide - soon. She's appearing on the Oprah Show (syndicated in 30 countries globally)on Thursday Oct. 4. Ostensibly the program is dealing with her experience with bipolar disorder, but also covering her current US tour and her personal life. Should be compelling TV: to watch her being taken seriously for a change. Can't wait! …and here’s the anti-Observer Woman: she probably doesn’t know what’s fashionable if she fell over it; she’s candid about having bipolar disorder; she regularly spits at the media’s hostility against her and other outspoken women; she doesn’t believe in brutal weight loss in the first 5 minutes after giving birth (like the Hollywood clones).

BUT SHE’S BACK!

Sinead O’Connor will be on Primetime TV - worldwide - soon. She’s appearing on the Oprah Show (syndicated in 30 countries globally)on Thursday Oct. 4. Ostensibly the program is dealing with her experience with bipolar disorder, but also covering her current US tour and her personal life.

We've been writing the blog for about six months now (we were originally driven to it by the pile of poo that was 'The Hundred Men Who Really Understand Women') and still we keep discovering more and more like-minded souls. As we like to say, don't get mad, get mocking ;-) Love from all at OWMMS xx Hi Sinead
