feminism
At its core, feminism is the simple conviction that women are equal to men in every regard, and should be treated as such.
Paradoxical
I don’t know how you feel about it, but I genuinely can’t stand the “pick-me/not-like-other-girls” anymore. And I don’t mean the person it’s supposed to identify - I mean the actual terms . I think they're overused - often incorrectly used - and completely reductive; they both do such a disservice in actually helping young women, and it really sets my ass on fire.

24 hours with shit nails and the oppression of women
Seriously why do women do this to themselves. I recently did my nails. They are the stick on kind that will last for a couple of weeks. They're pretty long - longer am I expected them to be when I ordered them - but not ridiculously so.

Reasons Modern Feminism Is Failing Real Women
Is Modern Feminism Actually Helping Women—Or Leaving Them Behind? If you've ever felt like the feminist movement doesn't quite speak to your life, you're not alone. Millions of women across the country are quietly asking the same question: why does a movement built for women feel so disconnected from what real women actually deal with every day?

The Trad-Wife Contradiction
As someone interested in history and feminism, I find the trad-wife trend troubling because its public image depends on a contradiction. The version of “traditional wifehood” promoted on social media does not feel especially genuine or authentic: many of these women argue that men should be sole breadwinners while earning their own money online through brand deals, sponsored posts, affiliate links, paid subscriptions, and monetised videos.

Dear Women: Stop Feeding the Machine
The entire world has been shaped by a bro-code patriarchy. Look at history: centuries of unhinged, psychotic greed, domination, rape, robbery and killing carried out overwhelmingly by men—and systems built by men to protect male power.

Modern Feminism Is Killing Romance
If your last few dates felt more like job interviews than actual sparks flying, you're not imagining things. Something has genuinely shifted in modern dating — and a lot of people are feeling it but nobody wants to say it out loud.

Is Modern Feminism Actually Hurting Women?
Imagine growing up being told that everything about being a woman is somehow wrong. That wanting to be a mom is "settling." That caring about your appearance means you've been "brainwashed." That needing help from anyone — especially a man — is a sign of weakness. Sounds exhausting, right? Well, for millions of women today, that's exactly what modern feminism has started to feel like.

Burn the Witch
There is a trend circulating on TikTok in which a crowd chants, “Burn the witch! Burn the witch!” A person then announces that they know a “spell” to achieve something desirable—getting rid of homework, summoning a particular kind of person or solving some everyday inconvenience—and the crowd changes its verdict: “Release the witch!”

Girlhood Personified
I often like to remind people that “it’s fun to be a girl” - and usually with an eye-roll and as much condescension as I can muster. And nothing has solidified that better than watching Sofia Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides (1999) for the very first time.

Thank you, Christopher Nolan. Top Story - July 2026.
I know a bit about Homer's Odyssey : the Cyclops, Circe, Calypso, Charybdis, Scylla, Sirens. I know that Penelope is the patient wife, waiting for her husband to return, undoing her tapestry every night to buy time and Telemachus is the son, yearning for his father to return or to become king, one of the two to escape the limbo in which he finds himself.
