Why can’t men admit that they are intelligent beings? That they have choice and control over their actions? That they are not just guided by instinct like apes? Quite simply, it’s because they want to have an excuse for bad behaviour. I’m talking specifically about sleeping around and those men who cheat on their partners. ...

The slow sexualisation of female figures is something that we have gotten used to. Scary Witch with the jutting nose has been replaced by Sexy Witch with the jutting breasts, and the Columbia pictures logo looks less like a Grecian Goddess and more like an extra from The Greeks Next Door. Fine. I can deal ...

It’s high time someone told men that they are not entitled to more space than women. Many a time I have been on subways, trains, or planes, and the man sitting next to me just won’t give up his arm rest. Now this is meant to be a shared arm rest, not his alone. We could ...

Ah, Christmas. The time of year when family gather around hearth and home. The house is transformed into a holiday wonderland, with the star being the gloriously decorated tree. The smell of baked goods waft from the kitchen as smiling children open beautifully wrapped, tasteful presents. Why, it’s enough to make you want to scream. ...

Last week I put the love of my life on a plane to half way around the world and I have no idea when I will see him again. It breaks my heart but I don’t have a choice. He just got a job there, and I have a job here. For the time being, ...

There is no doubt that feminism has changed society — men can clean and women can cook and both can do whatever job they desire. Yet some changes are still a work in progress. I am not talking about equal pay or childcare (neither is doled out equitably), I am talking about who picks up ...

As a feminist site that comments on news and current events I never imagined we would have so many pedophiles frequenting our site. How do I know this? One of our most popular articles is entitled Sexy Little Girls and plenty of people find our site with search terms using other pedophilic phrases. Sexy Little ...

The modern man is constantly applauded for “helping out around the house.” In fact, the younger the man is the more egalitarian the division of housework is in his relationships. While I do appreciate his new-found desire to pull his own weight, I hate the word used to describe it — “help” — as if cleaning ...

On dates I still love a little bit of chivalry — but it goes too far when the restaurant servers decide that my male dining partner should get the bill. The assumption that the man should pay in the restaurant is archaic. The waiters don’t know what our relationship is and any assumption is ...

As a modern woman, no concept is more difficult for me to grasp asking for help. Some things are fine. I can ask for a shoulder to cry on or a book to borrow without any worries. It is only when I enter the realm of the “manly” that my tongue sticks to the roof ...
