An Open Letter to Every Man Who Dislikes the Word 'Feminism'. Top Story - October 2021.
Often when I have a conversation with a man about feminism, I come across a familiar argument - why must you call it 'feminism'? Isn't that sexist in the opposite way? Why can't you just call it 'equality'?

Trick-or-Treat
I’ve always loved Halloween. The spook, the glitter, and everything in between. I started loving it even more as I turned into a teenager, when I started exploring more of the world around me and began to discover rituals, beliefs, and legends that belonged to the holiday.

Dear Men, Feminism Needs You - Stop waiting for us to explain everything, and start doing the work I was lounging around watching football and drinking beer this week when my pal Tim asked a question I’ve been asked a hundred times before: How can men do a better job of helping feminists?
