The signs have been placed adjacent to campaign signs of the only woman candidate in Leichhardt, ALP candidate Sharryn Howes. The signs themselves entreat the voter to ‘put Labor last’ because winding back negative gearing is … Continue reading Say No To Sexist Language in Public Discourse

Brexit and the Rise of Intolerance

Photo: express.co.uk What are the consequences of the UK leaving the EU? I don’t know the answer to that question. I don’t know whether it’s good for the long term economy or political status or whatever else. But there’s one thing I do know: The attitude of many who voted to leave scares me. I heard more about immigration than any other topic during the campaign. It’s … Continue reading Brexit and the Rise of Intolerance

Opinions of a Slut

Photo: bradwhitehouse.wordpress.com As both a feminist and, y’know, a normal human being, I am of the opinion people should be treated equally and if someone’s behaviour doesn’t affect you, it’s none of your business. Which makes it easy for me to be against slut-shaming. Let’s start with the fact that I am a slut. Yep, by the very definition of a slut (that is, any woman … Continue reading Opinions of a Slut

How Feminism Made Me A Better S.O.

For the past eight years feminism has been my way of life. Equality and my disdain for stereotypical gender roles were the norm for me as a child before I even knew what feminism was. I don’t know exactly when I decided I was a feminist but I imagine I googled the term after seeing it mentioned on the internet or on TV, read the definition, and thought,“yep, … Continue reading How Feminism Made Me A Better S.O.

Gender Inequality, Rape

To Men:

Photo: weheartit I am a man, and I am a feminist. Because of this I’ve been ridiculed, criticized, argued with, sneered at and opposed. What Brock Turner did is horrific. The fact he received only a six month sentence and will probably serve half of that is horrific. Turner’s father’s comment that his son shouldn’t go to prison for “twenty minutes of action” is horrific. … Continue reading To Men:

Funny, Gender Inequality

Henry Rollins Hilariously Deconstructs Dr Seuss

In a Funny or Die video intended to be tongue-in-cheek, Henry Rollins of 1980s punk band Black Flag fame reads Oh, The Places You’ll Go! by Dr Seuss and brilliantly assimilates its gender, racial and class discrimination with that of society’s. This book is a common gift upon graduating college and Rollins has a problem with that. Highlights include: “If I was a little girl I … Continue reading Henry Rollins Hilariously Deconstructs Dr Seuss
