And nothing demonstrates that more than the appearance of the website Sponsor A Scholar UK this week, which seems to have mysteriously gone ‘down for maintenance’ since it was brought to widespread Twitter attention. Never mind, […]

I woke up today just feeling so like, totally OVER female objectification (you know how it is). Then someone tweeted a link to a Sun article about Pixie Geldof (NSFW- tits), and the comments just made me want to do that thing, you know, where you’re SO MAD that you’re face doesn’t know […]

Hey, girl. I don’t know if anyone told you this, but magazines are dying. In ten years’ time, probably only the Vogues of this world will continue to exist (and even then only as super-glossy quarterly objets d’art in pictures of rich people’s houses on hipstagram), while the Glamours and the Grazias of this […]

So I don’t know if you guys have ever had this experience before, but I’ve seen a penis. Seriously. In fact, if I’m honest, I’ve seen a few. Big ones, small ones, hard ones, soft ones – a veritable nursery rhyme of fleshy organs. I’ve seen them in real life, I’ve seen them in porn, […]

SERIOUS ISSUES KLAXON. Even if you’re here for the jokes, please do watch this and share it with your friends. One in four women are victims of domestic violence, indicating that you probably know, or will know, someone who is experiencing it at some point in your life. Would you know how to go about […]

Lads’ mag or lady mag? As you know, ladies, being a woman is all about priorities. Forget world hunger, there’s are a million things closer to home that you need to be worrying about. But much like picking out an outfit, it can sometimes be difficult to know which anxiety to accessorise with at […]

Bloomberg is not a news organisation you usually associate with sexual objectification. A purveyor of usually excellent and informative business and financial reporting, Nuts or Loaded it is not. So imagine my surprise (and horror) to see a rating of some of America’s leading business schools based on the attractiveness of their female […]
