When you think of the Middle Ages, feminism and gender equality rarely come to mind. Men are kings, knights and lords while women are silent and submissive. The setting of George R. R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones is just as sexist: whore houses abound, marriages are arranged at a startlingly young age, and rape is ...
Ad campaigns featuring feminine hygiene products often feature a woman with long flowing hair jumping around in a field of fresh flowers, if not a depressed woman in a hoodie looking embarrassed.

He’s bringing sexy back, yeah. In a new ad for his tequila brand, Justin Timberlake ventures into the complimentary areas of oral sex and female empowerment.
