The other day I was asked to share three aspects of my life that I think contribute to my overall personality.

Read More Lucilleontheball, you’ve got some splainin’ to do!It’s that time of the year again! Tax season! Oh, wait–I mean Valentine’s Day. Jokes aside, I am not all that much of a cynic about this holiday. I mean who doesn’t love candy and stuffed bears? So, here it is. The big day. Whether you’re single, hanging out with friends, visiting family, or cuddled […]
Read More Celebrate V-Day the Pro-Choice WayLadies, we know about the friend that arrives every 28 days. This little friend that seems to defy the human body by bleeding for a week and we stay alive. We hate this friend, but we have to welcome it, I mean it’s biology. This friend is our period. Recently, there seems to have been […]
Read More Empowering. The. Period.If you don’t live under a rock, you probably are aware that Super Bowl 50 happened last night. And if you aren’t into football, hopefully, you at least watched the halftime show (If not, before you do anything, check it out here).

Read More Why “She’s a Cool Girl” isn’t the compliment you’re looking forHas Axe finally moved on from the sex-crazed, “get hot girls,” misogyny? In their new ad entitled, “Find Your Magic”, Axe is making it clear that you don’t need the six pack to be a man. This may be a win for the company. Maybe. In the beginning, the ad references the insanely fit, overly sexualized […]
Read More One Small Step for Humanity, One Giant Leap for AxeHello Friends, The day has unfortunately come where I sadly have to formulate my thoughts into one last post. Read close to see my word vomit of feminist thoughts that I regretfully won’t be able to share with you in depth.

Read More One Final PostCelebrity nude leaks, sex tape scandals, revenge porn, oh my! We hear about or see these things being publicized and we have a knee-jerk reaction that tells us there’s something not okay about this. If we’re a little more informed about consent and digital media, then we know that these aren’t just mere invasions of […]
Read More Tweets, Snap Stories, Sex Crimes?!Once again, Kim Kardashian has made headlines for yet another magazine cover. This time she poses in an editorial spread for the Spring/Summer 2015 edition of LOVE magazine. The spread is centered on Prada’s most recent shoe collection but has instead gained its attention because, aside from wearing the latest designer heels, Kim is nude […]
Read More Kim Kardashian & the Patriarchal BargainWith the highly anticipated release of the 50 Shade of Grey film only a week away everyone is either making plans to see it, had their tickets purchased 3 months in advance, or viciously rejecting even the idea of having to see a second of this film.
