Grazia’s gone all feminist, yo. I genuinely don’t know what to make of this. I mean, it’s good for you guys, and like, the world, but it might put us out of business. They’ve got Laurie Penny talking about what ‘having it all’ means. Yeah. Then again, we all know what having it […]

Being single: it’s a right old lark, isn’t it? All that drinking and dancing and not being beholden to anybody on a weekend and explaining to your mum that no, you’re not a lesbian and yes, one day you’ll undoubtedly find Mr Right despite the fact that your entire dating life has only been peppered […]

Have you ever squatted? This question was asked of me while I was on holiday in Belgium recently, and it was prompted by a strange situation at one of their annual festivals. The enlightened city of Ghent provides a fair few ‘tasteful’ open-air urinals, which provide a little more privacy than your average central London […]

A better campaign: http://www.thisisnotaninvitationtorapeme.co.uk/ This week we had deja vu when West Mercia police popped up with their cliche campaign saying the same old ‘don’t drink too much or you’ll do something you regret’ message. This is incredibly offensive. I didn’t actually do anything when I was raped, except try very hard to stay […]

I’m going to wade into a pretty controversial debate here. Definitely more controversial than suggesting that Daily Mail readers should stand public trial for stupidity, and possibly more controversial than an audience member calling Louise Mensch a cunt on Question Time. I realise that I might get a lot of hate for this, […]

I quite like Magnums. Yum, chocolate and ice cream, and sometimes those fancy-arsed ones with the caramel. But then I’ll eat anything that stands still long enough, so maybe I’m not the best judge. The reason I bring up magnums, though, is sadly not to talk about food. It is to talk about […]

What’s the relevance of feminism for teenagers? Besides part-time jobs, we’re not yet experiencing inequality in the work place, nor smashing through a glass ceiling with a hard-back copy of the Female Eunuch. In the West, we’re just as entitled to an education and we know we’ll be able to vote […]

So, this morning, someone sent us this: Everyone loves an infographic, right? Well, the Mail, who reported it as though it were news, certainly did. Anyway, it got me thinking about ‘sanitary wear’, and the way that it’s advertised. We already took a look at Tampax’s bizarre Mother Nature adverts, but I thought […]

I just woke up from an uber snooze. It was one of those glorious, stretched out snoozes that lasts for the most part of an afternoon. Today has been a write off, frankly. I blame Grazia. Grazia is clinically proven to increase sleepiness in 99% of bored freelance journalists with nothing to do […]

Women – like people who aren’t white and/or Western – have learned to be suspicious of arguments about how their biology fits them for certain things (being a housewife, not being in charge of their own money, slavery etc.). If, and it is a big if, women prefer sweeter foods –scoff Mr Kiplings […]

OMGLOLWTFFMLaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhhhhhajdoifjifriofjknfjfnkjef. That is my usual reaction to Louise Mensch. There is a special place (let’s call it the ‘Red Room’) in my heart for this woman. I am the kind of wishy washy liberal who can’t separate the policies from the personality…no, sod that, her personality enrages me too. It’s just…everything, not least her admiration […]
