How is a woman supposed to answer? — Straight women are dating at the worst time in history. As a woman in a 23 year long relationship, I look on in horror, particularly because I have a young adult daughter and two teens. The dating scene differs from what I experienced in the 90s. How weird to look…

I’ve been called worse things — I am a person who has periods. Once upon a time, I was a pregnant person, then a birthing person. Now, I’m a peri-menopausal person, looking forward to becoming a person in menopause, and finally, a post-menopausal person. I have been, and will be, a lot of ‘persons,’ huh? …

COVID has reduced us to physical adversaries — In 1999, my partner and I decided to have a baby. I bought books on pre-conception, to create the most conducive environment in my body to house you. I took all the right vitamins, and ate lamb instead of other red meats, as directed. I can’t even remember why that…

One Aussie man’s cry for fairness — From now on, all public schools in New South Wales, Australia, will provide menstruating students with free period products. An Aussie guy, who does not live in NSW, was upset at the news, not realising his state already provides the same service to public schools as well.

This is a business who aligned itself with Jeffrey Epstein, mistreated women in multiple ways, and refused to market to the wearers of the garments instead of the men who want to ogle them…

The audacity of Grace Tame — ‘What a sour-faced little mole!’ ‘Ungrateful bitch!’ ‘She behaved like a petulant, bratty little girl.’ ‘If she didn’t want to smile, she shouldn’t have been there.’ These are a few of the charming remarks I stumbled upon on Twitter, before I had a clue what had happened. I could see…

I will not be lectured to about my own experiences — Another day, another murder. Another rape. More sexist pigs. One more workplace harassment case filed. Women being asked what they were wearing. Are you sick of it? Do you want to talk about it? You’ll need to brace yourself for a lecture. ‘Not all men are like that! I am…

How common is this? — There’s a phenomenon that’s been around for decades. It lingers like an unpleasant smell to this day. It goes something like this: women discuss women’s rights. Some guy waltzes in and starts whining. ‘I don’t know what my role is as a man anymore! My parents raised me to be…

The backlash from men is a good sign — When I voice my opinion online, men often draw the same, repeated conclusions over me. I’m told I’m bitter and hate men. I’m jealous of beautiful women, and am ugly, fat, with excessive body hair, tattoos, blue hair and piercings. No man wants me for sex, nor a relationship. …
