Trigger Warnings: Bullying Suicide Over winter break, I read a very interesting book, targeted towards young adults, called Thirteen Reason Why by Jay Asher, published in 2007. It touches on many different subjects that I feel really need to be brought up more in our society. This novel hits on many important issues that people […]

Read More Totally Awesome Women“Grow some balls”. “Suck my balls”. “He’s got balls for doing that”. These are phrases that everyone has heard sometime in their lifetime and more than likely, they are phrases that everyone has said once or twice. It has nothing to do with physically having them but it has instead become an accepted way to […]
Read More Grow a Vagina.Recently, a Pakistani Bollywood actor, Veena Malik, recently sued FHM, a men’s “lifestyle” magazine, for turning her cover shots into nude photographs. Malik admits that she did a topless shoot with her arms covering her body; however, she claims she was wearing a bikini bottom and that FHM indicated the rest of her […]
Read More Veena Malik vs. Men’s LifestyleSo I was flipping through the channels one evening, and I came across a show that I can only describe as flat out disturbing (and perhaps disgusting).

Read More Bitchin’ Table: Is the humiliation really necessary?!So what I’m about to tell you all is something I’m really not proud of– it’s difficult for me to confess.

Read More If You’re Arguing About PC, You’re Probably a BigotSo I’ll admit that I’m not a huge TV person. I grew up in the woods, where cable was nonexistent.

Read More Mad Men and The Playboy ClubThis afternoon I stumbled upon AskMen.com. (Now, if you’re not aware of this website, it has about 15 million readers and quite resembles the stereotypical male version of Cosmopolitan. ) Anyway, I came across this article, “Myths About What Women Want.” And I was definitely intrigued.
