  • My Body, My Choice: My Night Fighting For Reproductive Freedom

    By Chelsea Cristene
    September 20, 2018

    When women’s rights are under attack, we don’t spend our evenings eating dinner with family or studying for school or watching TV or any of the innumerable things we’d rather be doing with our time.

  • Surprise Engagements Are Overrated

    By Elisabeth Kramer
    September 19, 2018

    “It’s like the woman has to be in the dark until the burden of the work comes along.” “I hate this whole idea that everything has to be a surprise,” a friend recently told me. We were talking about proposals, specifically hers. It hadn’t  been a surprise; she and her then-boyfriend had discussed getting engaged. […]

    By Jody Allard
    August 21, 2018

    She’s been both the victim and the victimizer. And while pundits argue that she should no longer be believed about Weinstein, the simple fact is victimizers are often victims. Italian actress Asia Argento was one of the first women to accuse Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct, and she’s become a leading figure in the #MeToo […]

    August 16, 2018

    Don’t tell me my dress looks good on me between the hours of nine to five. “I’ll sit at the back, next to her. She’s got the best legs in here!” an older male colleague joked, as he filed into the crowded meeting room and took a seat beside me. There are many other places […]

    August 14, 2018

    There’s nothing like calling a woman of color a “dog” to prove you’re not a racist. Politics makes strange bedfellows, and many of us are finding ourselves in the uncomfortable position of siding with Omarosa Manigault Newman since she was called a “crazed, crying lowlife” and a “dog” by Donald Trump on Twitter. Trump’s tweetstorm […]
