Robin Morgan (journalist)

Robin Morgan is a British newspaper editor and journalist.

Morgan began his career in journalism at the Evening Echo in Hemel Hempstead, aged 16. In 1979, he joined the Sunday Times as a reporter. During the Wapping dispute of 1986–1987, he crossed the picket line and was the editor of the "Insight" investigative team. He led the newspaper's criticism of the "Death on the Rock" documentary, which investigated SAS actions which ended in the deaths of three Provisional IRA members.

In 1989, he became the editor of the Sunday Express, serving for two years, before a brief period editing City Limits (uncredited, as he thought publicising the post would damage his future employment prospects) then returning to edit the Sunday Times Magazine. From 1993 to 1994, Morgan was the editor of the UK edition of Reader's Digest. He then returned as editor of the Sunday Times Magazine, serving until 2009. He has also been a contributing editor of GQ.

Famous quotes by Robin Morgan:

"Don't accept rides from strange men- and remember that all men are as strange as hell"

"I feel that 'man-hating' is an honorable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them"

"It isn't until you begin to fight in your own cause that you (a) become really committed to winning, and (b) become a genuine ally of other people struggling for their freedom."

"There's something contagious about demanding freedom."

"Friendship is mutual blackmail elevated to the level of love."

"I feel like I've gotten away from God-knows-what, ... but I feel safe now. I like the treatment I'm getting here. The treatment I'm getting here is much better than I was getting when I was there from the police officers and stuff."

"You think you're being brave, you think you're being sexy, you think you're transcending feminism. But that's bullshit."

"I'm scared. If it happened this time, it can happen again. That's my child in there."

"I claim that rape exists any time sexual intercourse occurs when it has not been initiated by the woman, out of her own genuine affection and desire."

"Let's put one lie to rest for all time: the lie that men are oppressed, too, by sexism-the lie that there can be such a thing as men's liberation groups."

"Sexism is not the fault of women - kill your fathers, not your mothers."

"It isn't until you begin to fight in your own cause that you become really committed to winning and become a genuine ally of other people struggling for their freedom."
