The Dump of Recycled Dreams - Hollywood, Remake After Remake
My boyfriend sent me the trailer for the new Halloween movie with the message "This looks terrible." I'll admit I couldn't bring myself to watch it. John Carpenter's first Halloween movie is very close to me because it was probably one of the first movies I watched with my dad that then set us off on being film buffs together. Or more likely made me join in on the buffness.

Meghan Markle as the Blanket Statement of a Non-racist Monarchy
The only way to truly engage in the rage culture of our times is to observe from afar or jump headfirst into it. Not really a monarchist. I found The Crown fascinating, it revealed a part of Elisabeth and mostly Margaret that I had no idea existed. I was mostly fascinated by the latter. However, I contributed no more relevance to the historical accuracy of the story than I would with Masters of Sex. I mean there was a lot of BS in that one, trust me...

'The Handmaid's Tale' Is Not Feminist Enough...
So apparently Margaret Atwood worships the Phallic Monster called patriarchy now. The whole outrage started a couple days ago when I saw the first article about how The Handmaid's Tale might be too violent for television. That was sort of alright. Still tremendous bullshit, but alright. Now this unyielding nonsense...

Can Men Still Paint Female Nudes?
There's probably a lot to say about modern feminism that isn't pleasant. The majority of it is most likely unpleasant. However, I never thought people would actually bring up this one topic because it seemed even too ludicrous for them to criticise.

My First Dysfunctional Relationship: Anorexia
My story is not a unique one. Almost everyone suffers from some sort of eating disorder in their life. I was anorexic for four years. I'm saying was because I do not consciously continue the practice of starving myself. That said, one should know that these tendencies never really go away.

How Do You Break the Vicious Circle That Is Hospitality and Retail?
I have had a pencil, crayon, pen, or charred piece of wooden stick in my hand for as long as I can remember. The first thing I ever sat down to draw was an illustration on a McDonald's Happy Meal box —thanks for that, by the way. A simple image of a skittish Tigger barging into Pooh's house and landing on the bear's adorable soft, yellow potbelly. I sat down, captured by the scene, the colours or the simple outlines that possessed me for some reason with the ancient set of crayons I had at the age of about four, and drew it as well as I could.

The Concerning Trend of Our Bodies and Image Becoming Commodities
For my university project, I had to pick a study and design an academic poster about the topic. This is basically a colourful illustration of the findings of the experiment with charts, illustrations, and huge headers. You know, teachers forcing us to do something "fun" and creative between a 1,500 word lab report and a 4,000 word essay.

Is Toxic Masculinity a Real Concept? If So, What Would Constitute as Toxic Femininity?
I can, with quite a sizeable certainty, claim that humans are biologically dimorphic. We have the characteristic traits that separate males from females physically and even psychologically. Now that we highlighted that, and we can all agree that women have boobs and are generally of smaller stature, have softer features and sparse body hair, as well as that men are more angular, should be taller, and are basically yetis and possess a peen, we can move on to the real issue here.

It's Not Okay to Say 'Hi' to Women Anymore
Fair warning, males! If you see a woman on the street who's clearly distressed, do not attempt to approach. You have got to first hand in a handwritten application soaked in some magical dust that'll make it okay for them upon inhalation to speak to this superior race.
