So I’m told — The feminist begins to stir under the covers. She can hear the father of her children coming through the front door. He’s gotten the teenagers ready for school, and just arrived home after dropping off the 14-year-old. He makes her a cup of tea, while she winces in pain, willing…

Author: Jennifer Mathieu — Last year, as I browsed through my Netflix menu for something to watch, I stumbled upon a trailer for the movie, Moxie. As a died in the arse feminist, hearing the mother (played by Amy Poehler) talking about smashing the patriarchy made me smash that play button in an instant. …

Women make choices and I don’t like it — Why doesn’t she put a bra on? I can tell she’s not wearing one! How disgusting! How come she wears so much makeup? I find it really unattractive.

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.

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.

Did you think society was evolving? You thought wrong — The past few years have been rough on Victoria’s Secret, which is their own stupid fault. 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.
