Recently, I joined the gym. And I was slightly worried about it. I was worried that I would use it a couple of times and then peter out in favour of bed and biscuits, thus wasting £45.50 every month (discount price!). I was worried that by joining I would start to value my achievements in […]

I’m 24, I’m a feminist and (shock horror) I’m engaged. Next summer I will be getting married to my kind, funny, smart best friend, and I could not be happier about that fact.  I’ve known since about a month into our four-year relationship that I want to spend the rest of my life with this […]

On Monday, Sports Illustrated released its new, almost vagina revealing, cover for the 2015 swimsuit edition. This resulted in much parent outrage and lots of news articles discussing whether or not SI went too far this time. Maybe. But my question is, are people just as bothered by way women are shown on ALL magazine […]

It was summer break, and my husband and I were going to Hawaii for the holiday.  It was at one of those resorts with the all-inclusive-never-ending-mimosa package, and we had both had one hell of a year.  Yippee! It was finally the day we were to catch our flight, so of course, I had the […]

I’m fairly certain that most of us have been coming across articles teaching us ‘How To Give a Blow Job’ since we were about twelve (hello, every issue of Cosmo ever). Through the medium of the hallowed sex tip, the female gender has been all but programmed into instinctively knowing how much or how little to […]

About a week ago I found myself in Sainsbury’s. Whilst perusing the aisles for my dinner, I had the awful realisation that I was shit broke, and would have to make a fateful decision on this seemingly quiet Tuesday night: dinner or tampons. This may sound a tad dramatic, but I had £1 and it […]

Those days when you’re wearing the wrong knickers. Those days. Itching, hoiking, pulling, pinging — there’s no peace to be found in bad pants. A woman in the wrong knickers is a woman disarmed. So tell me this: on a day when you’re meant to be looking and feeling good, why are you planning to […]

I would like to be known as the pharmaceutical industry’s Official Worst Nightmare. Why, you ask?  Because as I am typing I can feel tiny popping sensations in my brain, cleverly called “brain zaps” in the medical community.  Breathing is an effort.  My heart is desperately trying to escape my chest.  That’s not an attempt […]

Porn has been dominating the blogosphere recently because of some frankly bizarre and rather sexist legislation regarding the UK ban of the filming of several sex acts such as spanking, female ejaculation and face-sitting (apparently the latter carries a risk of suffocation). Despite attempts to censor it, the watching of porn is widespread. Think of the most […]

George from the Famous Five – another girl who defies gender expectations Tomboy is a thing, right? It’s that phase that some little girls go through, where they don’t like pretty dresses and they do like playing at cowboys, where they rebel against their mother-imposed white tights by destroying them climbing trees, and they stare […]

Right now I’m single and every time I need a poo, I cherish the simplicity of wiping my bum and pulling my pants up, instead of jumping in the shower for a furtive bum wash. God, it’s a luxury. If I get skiddies in my knickers, I celebrate their presence as a brown striped flag […]

Let me introduce myself: my name is Shannon. I am a 22 year old White-Asian woman from England studying a PhD at university. In reality, this means I’m busting my butt off doing experiments from nine ‘til god-knows-when, nearly every day of the week, for three and a half years of my life. Not because […]
