  • Letting Yourself Go and Why It Doesn’t Matter | A Rant

    What does the phrase ‘letting yourself go’ mean to you? As a child of the 2000s, this phrase brings up images of women’s magazines for me. Those magazines with bright yellow or pink headlines, red circles on celebrities’ bodies and claims that such-and-such had tragically ‘let herself go’ was inescapable for quite a long time Read more

  • You Can Be More Than One Thing, Ladies!| Let’s Talk About It

    What is your opinion of memes? You know, those funny images that people like to share and repost online to show off their sense of humour and even parts of their personality. There is one meme going around at the moment that is driving me mad and I can’t sit on top of these opinions Read more

    Before we even get into this post, I need to say that I’m not anti-porn. Shocking I know; a feminist who isn’t against porn!

    May 18: Sparkle Sparkle for me is a very girlie thing. Now I know it’s 2019 and that gender isn’t of any importance any more, but sparkle is something that feels very feminine to me. Now you already know how much I love drag queens and anything else camp, so perhaps you’d assume that I’m Read more

  • Six Badass Babes You Need Advice From | What I’m Reading Wednesday

    For a period of time all I read were self – help books. I can’t remember what one got me started, but I was hooked within no time. I really enjoy getting advice from others and a particular favourite mentor is a woman who is slightly older than me. Books can be an amazing way Read more

  • Here’s The Deal With Porn: Sex, Education & Reality

    When you think about it, the fact that there’s an industry dedicated to watching other people have sex seems a little mad doesn’t it? But porn is a massive player in our current society and it’s been something that has caused many debates over the years. I don’t think there is anything inherently wrong with Read more

  • Sexism, Exploitation and Memes

    I wonder how many memes there are on the internet? They’re something we all see pretty much every time we log onto a social media site. That black and white lettering that protests some sarcastic message has basically become iconic now and will forever be recognised. Memes are a way for people to rant, to Read more

  • The Current State of Affairs (Ft. Votes & Protests)

    With the current states of affairs, it’s not difficult to feel as though all hope is lost.
