Hello friends! I hope you all are enjoying your Sunday. Maybe the weather’s nice and you’re getting some warm spring sun. Maybe you’re getting some long needed errands out of the way. Maybe you’re like me and are happily catching up on the news that may have slipped your radar the past few days. I […]
Read More Kirsten Dunst, Gender Roles and FemininityUnless you’ve been living in a cave or the Midwest, you’ve noticed spring (weather) is finally here! Yes, the beautiful time of year when the birds are back, flowers are blooming, and the thaw of winter is behind us. With the return of the sun comes the return of outdoor recreational reading. There’s nothing I […]
Read More Book Recommendation: The Guy’s Guide to FeminismI’ve never been one for activist groups. I remember sophomore year in high school a teacher horrified and enraged all of my friends and I at the atrocities being committed in Darfur. Under the idea we could actually end it, (yes we did actually believe we could,) we began holding awareness meetings, which turned into […]
Read More Hope Springs – Men’s Feminism Activist GroupsI recently came across a quiz in Cosmopolitan that inspired this week’s myth-busting post. The quiz gave a series of questions ultimately leading the reader to discover whether she liked it hard, gentle or a mix of both in the bedroom.

Read More Myth-Busting Mondays: All Women Like It Rough…Hello ShoutOut readers. Today, I want to bust one myth that I had not really considered until it was brought up on a show that I had been watching.

Read More Mythbusting Mondays: Women Must Think Safety of FirstSex and Gender are not the same, a lesson taught in any Introduction to Women’s Studies course and most basic social sciences classrooms. It’s almost so basic that it seems pretty obvious to an advanced readership. The myth was busted before I even arrived on the scene, is there any more to even flesh out […]
Read More Mythbustin’ Monday: If We Know That Sex Does Not Equal Gender, Why Are We Cissexist?Hello, bisexual person sitting right here? I wish I could end the post there. Okay, hello, I exist, done. But that doesn’t appear to be good enough for some people, including people who themselves do not identify as straight. I think all bisexual people have heard the same things at least once, “you’re just confused”, […]
Read More Mythbusting Monday: Bisexuality Does Not ExistI spent a lot of time pondering about what I should write about for this particular blog. I thought that most of the popular myths had already been written about. Then, I ran across this particular myth and decided that it must be exposed. The site posed it like this: If you’re a TRUE feminist, […]
Read More Mythbustin’ Mondays: REAL FEMINISTS HAVE NO EMOTIONSIt started when I was first faced with homophobic comments like “How do two girls do it together, anyway?” and “Is it actually sex if it’s just girls?” Though they seemed curiously innocent enough, over time I realized that this was not simply an issue of not having learned enough in Sex Ed 101.
