Netflix’s “Love Is Blind” Shows Why So Many Men Are Single Today

Almost the entire male cast are walking red flags — Men are lonelier than ever. Men in their 20s aren’t having sex. Men are not okay. More and more men identify as ‘incels’ — which stands for ‘involuntarily celibate.’ You’ve probably been hearing things along these lines in the last few months, maybe even longer. But if you look at…

Five Things That Shock Me Every Time I Visit America as a European

It really is a place like no other — I spent the recent winter holiday with part of my family that lives in the US. And although I’ve been coming there — for both personal and professional reasons — for almost a decade now, every time I visit, I can’t help but feel… slightly shocked. You’d think that since…

The Problem With Jordan Peterson No One Seems To Talk About

On the threat of pseudo-intellectualism and Misogyny Lite — A few days ago, I got an ad for Jordan Peterson’s new Daily Wire series on Instagram, out of all places. I imagine that happened because I recently wrote a few pieces on incels, Andrew Tate and other misogynistic groups and figures and had to do research for it. But…

The Ultimate Guide to Being a Delightfully Bad Woman™

Who definitely never got a state-sponsored lobotomy — I get lots of hate mail. And I’d lie if I said it doesn’t affect me at all. It does a bit. However, after a few years of reading more or less the same message from angry male specimens all over the world blaming me for the ills of modern…

How Can We Treat Buying Stuff As ‘Self-Care’ When Consumerism Is Killing Us

And in more ways than you might think — I hate the period around the end and beginning of each year. Not only there’s just too much going on, but there’s also this relentless pressure to buy shit you likely don’t need and then consume and then buy and then consume some more. In December it’s mostly about buying…

Yet Another Met Officer Turned Out To Be a Rapist — Is Anyone Surprised?

Misogyny and violence against women are built into the fabric of our society — For nearly two decades, a serving police officer in the UK, David Carrick, exploited his position to abuse and rape multiple women. He frequently told his victims, many of which he found through online dating sites like Tinder: ‘I’m a police officer, you’re safe with me.’ And once he gained…

How the Legacy of Female Shame Is Still Screwing Over Women

And how we can fight against it — I recently learned a new word: pudendum. It’s derived from the Latin verb pudere, to be ashamed. Roman writers in the 1st century used it to describe the external genitals of men, women and animals. But later on, the term mostly persisted in describing female genitalia. Of course. Although in…

How Tik Tok Trends Push Girls Into a Life of Dissociative Subjugation

‘No thoughts, just be pretty and vibe’ — When I first came across a ‘stay-at-home-girlfriend’ viral trend on Tik Tok, I thought it was satire. In most of these videos — usually showcasing a ‘day in the life’ — the girlfriend’s routine consists of drinking green beverages, doing an intensive skincare regime, going to pilates, serving her boyfriend…

Why the Problem Isn’t Just Andrew Tate and His Violent Misogyny

It’s all the men who continue to worship him even today — I didn’t expect 2022 to end with Andrew Tate being detained in a Romanian prison on allegations of sex trafficking and rape. But it finally happened. Here’s the thing, though. Tate has been under investigation for sex trafficking since at least April last year when Romanian authorities first arrested him…

How Do Goat-Sacrificing Atheists Really Celebrate Christmas

It starts with a quick and easy blood ritual — I’m spending this holiday season with my brother and his partner. None of the four of us — my boyfriend is also joining — is religious. And I guess that might seem a bit strange to some people. Why would atheists even want to gather and celebrate during the time…
