I’m sure many other women have met them, too — Over a week ago, I got published in a big online magazine. And while that’s great, whenever my work goes viral-ish, it usually means that I’ll have to deal with a massive influx of emails, DM’s and comments for weeks to come. Most of them are luckily positive this time…

Yay, I’m getting older — I’m turning 29 today. Or rather, I already did at 3:30 AM. My religious parents always used to freak out about it because that’s apparently the ‘devil’s hour’ or something. What a surprise I’m an atheist now, huh? Anyway. Back to my birthday. Honestly, I’ve never liked that day. And…

Traditional gender expectations serve no one — For some time now, I’ve seen the following sentence make rounds on the internet: Men are born with nothing and women with everything. And it’s usually accompanied by an explanation that if men want to amount to something in this world, they need to create ‘value’ by prioritising their career…

And means we have to stop having sex with robots — I came across an eye-opening podcast episode the other day. It’s basically a man, or rather a male doctor, talking mostly about hormones, male and female sexuality for almost an hour. Ah, lovely. Men’s opinions on the latter have always been so on point throughout the centuries, haven’t they? And…

And stood up against predatory and misogynistic behaviour — I think we’re all in need of an uplifting story. And this is one of them. Well, for the most part, at least. It all started in Rhode Island, in Davisville Middle School when a group of teenage boys noticed that one of their male teachers was behaving creepily with…

Her death has sparked quite a debate online — Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the internet has become — once again — total mayhem. As millions of Britons and Royal Family admirers mourned the Queen’s death, others — especially from places formerly colonised by the British Empire — voiced reminders of the ‘horrendous cruelties’ perpetrated against them…

Sexual objectification of our bodies truly never ends — Some time ago, my boyfriend and I went to a men’s clothes shop. After looking through different shirts, he went to the sales assistant to ask him something. I went along with him. And almost from the moment he saw us, he kept looking at me instead of paying attention…

And that feminism has robbed us of all that ‘bliss’ — You might have already heard about the ‘trads.’ But if you didn’t, I don’t blame you. They are a relatively new political subculture, composed of mainly white, young, religious or spiritual conservative people who engage in bizarre worship of the past. And specifically, the times before women were allowed to…

What great news for all the unborn baby girls out there! — There aren’t many things that are certain in this world. But Leonardo DiCaprio breaking up with his girlfriend once her prefrontal cortex has fully developed is definitely one of them. Yup. It happened again. A couple of months after his most recent girlfriend, Camila Morrone, turned 25, he decided to…
