‘If you play with fire, you get burned’ — I’ve recently published an article about Emily Ratajkowski accusing Robin Thicke of sexually assaulting her while filming the music video for ‘Blurred Lines.’ As expected, some men in the comments wrote that given Emily’s ‘sex-based persona’ and her many pictures and videos in ‘various states of undress,’ no one should…

Wait, what? — In Spain, it is legal to be naked — anywhere. Not that many people do it, but it means they are more liberal about where and when you can be nude or semi-nude. For instance, it’s a common sight to see women sunbathing on the beach topless, even with their…

Sexual violence against women too often goes ignored — Almost a year ago, Evan Rachel Wood came forward on Instagram to confirm the rumours that Brian Warner — a.k.a. Marilyn Manson — had abused her. She had previously testified to Congress in 2018 about her experiences with emotional, physical, and sexual abuse by a romantic partner; however, she chose…

It’s time we stopped running ourselves into the ground to the advantage of a few — The UK has recently decided to launch a four-day workweek trial. And so has Ireland, Scotland, Spain, the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. In the last years, several companies — including Microsoft Japan — have also decided to offer a shorter workweek to their employees. While this is a…

I’m not even surprised this is happening — A month ago, I wrote an article about how AI is now being used to design ‘nudifying’ tools that can strip any picture of a woman naked. Yup, websites and apps like this actually exist. And, sadly, they’re thriving. Even though I didn’t expect to come back to the topic…

It could be the beginning of a new, even more problematic, era — Rumour has it that the Kardashian clan have finally removed their BBL’s. If you’ve been living under a rock and don’t know what that means, BBL — short for Brazilian Butt Lift — is a fat transfer operation that helps create a Kardashian-worthy bum. In recent years, it has actually…

It’s kind of ironic, isn’t it? — I don’t know much about my ancestry. I was born in Poland, and so were my parents. But their parents — not exactly. They all immigrated to my hometown — Wrocław, also known as Breslau — after the Second World War, just like hundreds of thousands of others hoping to…

And creates a lifelong cycle of inequality — Times are slowly changing. And so are children’s internalised beliefs about gender roles and stereotypes. A recent global survey commissioned by Lego revealed that 82% of girls believe it’s OK for girls to play football and boys to practice ballet. The percentage of boys who agree is smaller, but still…

We really don’t — A former Love Islander and a popular British influencer, Molly-Mae Hague, has recently come under fire after making some pretty tone-deaf comments. While speaking on the podcast ‘Diary of a CEO’, she said: Beyoncé has the same 24 hours in the day that we do, and I just think, like…
