Why I Don’t Want Him Buying My Dinner
I know we’ve all heard the saying that “Chivalry is dead because Feminism killed it” and part of me believes it. Then I sat down and really thought about it, why don’t I want a man holding the door open for me? Especially at a school like JMU, where it is expected for people to […]

Sitting in the beautiful spring sun, a girl from my dorm and I were enjoying the welcomed breeze of fresh mountain air. We were on the subject of our perspective futures, brought up by the fact that our first year in college was drawing to a close and we were both considering switching majors. Emily […]

Boobs. I will never understand a man’s fascination with them…maybe because I am just so lucky to possess them but all in all, I don’t get it. Personally, and I know many girls will agree that, penises aren’t really all that attractive. I don’t know about you but I don’t walk around screaming “show me your […]

I recently wrote a post on whether Pinterest is killing feminism, and stipulated that Pinterest isn’t necessarily a bad thing. After all, it can be used to promote pro-feminist (or, at least not anti-feminist) sentiments.

Two years ago I wrote a blog post about a book called A Life of One’s Own by Ilana Simons. When I first read the mix of Virginia Woolf wisdom and self-help psychology, I was going through a bad separation from an ex-boyfriend, and the advice I found in Simons’s book helped me both to cope and put the […]

TRIGGER WARNING: Discussion of rape/ sexual assault. Due to the recent publicity of the Steubenville rape case (and the horrific way it has been handled in the media), I have decided to write a blog series about rape culture to better explain how it is upsetting yet unsurprising that this rape happened, and that it […]

Keeping in line with last week’s post, I wanted to investigate another book series turned major motion picture phenomena from a feminist lens. This particular series puts The Hunger Games and Twilight movies to shame, as it has six of the top 25 highest grossing movies ever. One could say that they have had a […]

Being a young woman we have this ritual that we participate in with other women whom we are close with. We do this ritual when we just need to have a night to ourselves, have a little fun, and stop stressing about work or school. This ritual is called Girls Night Out. Growing up in […]

I’ve noticed that Mr.Clean has lost weight. This dawned on me as I sat and watched TV this weekend. Mr. Clean had slimmed down, and as I watched, concerned that I had noticed his decreasing waist line, I couldn’t also help but notice his co-star. The commercial centered around Mr.Clean and his abilities to make this woman’s […]
