You know those guys that you see in bars, the ones who would drag your limp, unconscious body back to their man-cave after beating you round the head with their comically oversized club were it not against the law? Men’s Health Magazine does. In fact it breeds them. Whilst ‘men’s interest’ magazines […]

The winter is setting in, giving me cause for nostalgic ruminations on this year’s summer holidays, and, indeed, all the holidays that came before. During the course of my misty-eyed musings, I realised that holidays were different before I became a feminist. You always hear vegetarians complaining that it’s difficult for them to go […]

And it’s one small step for woman as I don my cosmonaut helmet and venture into deep girl-space, to bring you the latest from this month’s Cosmopolitan (something I have been putting off for oh, three weeks). The cover promises to teach me 8 NEW WAYS TO ORGASM, so I’m keen to […]

As I write this, the house is in chaos. People have been moving in, moving out, and moving rooms, so there’s stuff everywhere. As we wade slowly through it, I’ve noticed myself becoming more and more obsessed with homeware and interior decoration. I’ve become addicted to blogs like apartment therapy and fuck your […]

Remember those embarrassing moments sections from teenage magazines? They’re there to ease you in gently to stuff like Cosmo’s confessions, but they feature stuff like your Grandma telling everyone you’re constipated or that a tampon fell out of your bag? Aka stuff that you’re not in the least embarrassed about now (or […]

Caitlin Moran may have given you all sorts of ridiculous ideas in How To Be A Woman that flagged certain instances which might strongly suggest you are female: getting periods, for example, or […]

The Daily Fail has been in direct competition with Rush Limbaugh this week (who, in case you hadn’t heard, claimed that feminism shrunk his penis) and so we thought we’d treat you to a good old round-up this Saturday. After all, everybody loves to spend the weekend testing out the boundaries of their gag […]

So a thing happened this week. You may have possibly heard about it. If not, I can only assume that you’ve recently awoken from a long coma, in which instance allow me to be the first to tell you that the recession was definitely over by Christmas, everyone got free tickets to the Olympics and […]

This week was a great one for trivialising issues, and no one did it better than Look magazine. Nestled in there amongst their ‘Big Beauty Issue’ (the cover promises you ‘smoother skin’, ‘sexier hair’, AND ‘perfect make-up’ if you’d only fork out the necessary £1.80 – surely an investment in yourself after all) are a […]

Picture the scene: you’re walking down the hallway in your Louis Vuitton silken nightie, a Prada piece slung casually over your shoulder for effect. You stumble slightly on the tiles as you enter the kitchen, because those Manolos really weren’t made for navigating easy-wipe floor decor. You reach the tiny kitchen fridge – miniature to […]

I gave up smoking a few weeks ago. After smoking 15-20 a day for nearly eight years, going cold turkey was the last thing I wanted to do, but I had a health scare and just thought: enough. Thanks to a little drug called Champix, which you should by NO MEANS TAKE if you have […]

As the summer of Fifty Shades of Grey staggers bow-legged to a close, a slew of imitators are popping up like the demonic little heads of a hydra. Demolish one of them on the grounds of anti-feminist principles, and ten more leap forward to take its place. And, working in publishing, there […]
