Posted on September 30, 2013 by Samantha Levy • 2 Comments

I’ve been reading a lot lately about the “solo” lifestyle– that is, when an individual consciously decides to be their own primary partner. A solo individual is independent and autonomous from any romantic entanglements, and though they may often have lovers, the individual has chosen to make themselves the highest priority. Whether you’ve chosen the … Continue reading →

Posted on September 26, 2013 by lexicontra • Leave a comment

Feminist lingo can be a bit bothersome to deal with. That’s what we aim to fix with our series Terms You Should Know. Today’s term you should know is “slut-shaming.” Slut-shaming is shaming a woman for her sexual behavior, which may include anything from dressing provocatively, to having lots of sex, to having “unorthodox” sex or … Continue reading →

“Blurred Lines” Not So Blurred

Posted on September 9, 2013 by Danab • 1 Comment

No other song has caused as much controversy recently as Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines (ft. T.I and Pharrell). The song is hugely popular, despite the fact that it glorifies the dangerous notion that a woman’s consent is only a fuzzy guideline which a man can choose to abide by when he feels like it.
