The ‘Persistent Male’ Fantasy: When ‘No!’ means ‘Try Harder!’, ‘Once More!’ and ‘Triple Check!’

November 25, 2014 by thevagenda

“Seriously. Stop.” Last Wednesday, following Australia’s lead, the Home Office denied pick-up artist Julian Blanc a UK visa after an online petition gained over 120,000 signatures. Apologizing on CNN, Julian said, ‘I feel horrible, I’m not going to be happy if I feel like I’m the most hated man in the world. I’m overwhelmed by […]

Fuck “School Run Style”

November 19, 2014 by thevagenda

After donning an outfit that was, quite frankly, a gamble, I dropped my daughter off at school and continued on with my daily pilgrimage to the supermarket. En route, I was approached by a local transvestite, asking if I would be interested in buying a copy of her book, the subject of which was (more […]

Why Having a Daughter in 2014 Has Made Me Angry

November 17, 2014 by editor

Since the birth of my daughter earlier this year, I have become angry. This is nothing to do with my hormones – they have made me, at various intervals, weepy, frustrated, unreasonable and elated, but never angry. What has really started to upset me is something that always used to irritate: the dissection, examination and […]

What I Learned As A Male Feminist From Setting Up The Dapper Laughs Petition

November 13, 2014 by editor

A week ago I started an online petition that had the unexpected consequence of reducing one of the Lad Bible posse’s Archbishops of Banterbury into a grovelling French existentialist philosopher on Newsnight. Numbed by the sheer spectacle of a grown man being demolished by a calmly relentless Emily Maitlis, I still couldn’t help but wonder: […]

On Dapper Laughs: “32 Million Tickets to Whore Island Please”

November 11, 2014 by thevagenda

The journalist Abi Wilkinson recently pointed out that alleged comedian Dapper Laugh’s contempt for homeless people and women undermined the supposed charitable purpose of his recently released album. He responded by mobilising his Oi Oi Army of inadequates to vomit poisonous abuse at her for several days on Twitter. One of the *least* objectionable tweets […]

It’s 2014 and My Boss Makes Me Wear Make Up to Work

November 10, 2014 by thevagenda

I love make up. I love having a nosey around make up counters (looking at you in particular Urban Decay) and getting myself into a flurry of excitement over the bright sparkly colours. Bright green lipstick? Sure, why not? I mean it looked great on The Hulk. Liquid eyeliner so waterproof that it requires four […]

Monty the Misogynist – Why I’m Not Buying John Lewis’ Christmas Ad

November 10, 2014 by thevagenda

  ‘Look what I bought you! I bought you a woman! She’s yours! She belongs to you! Oh aren’t you a lovely little penguin, you’re going to be so loving and kind and sweet to her, that woman that you own. I’m writing to Santa right away, maybe I can have one for my very […]

Memo to Both Men and Women: My Big Tits Do Not Belong To You

November 5, 2014 by thevagenda

I feel embarrassed typing this, but I am a woman with large breasts and it is not easy. There, I’ve said it. Now, this subject-matter has made me feel awkward for some time, and I know why. It is because we are indoctrinated to believe that large boobs are the epitome of femininity; that nothing […]
