#UseYouAnd, What? by Aimee Bea
I know I sound like a broken record but I’m going to have to talk about body hair again. Unlike gainful employment, steady cash flow and a room of one’s own, body hair has remained a niggling constant in my life. This afternoon whilst trying to waste my life on a YouTube binge I was confronted with the most outrageous body hair themed interruption to date: NOT catching a reflection of the spring…

IN THE COMPANY OF MEN BY BEN KRITIKOS
Ger and I loaded the van and started off. Another weekend, another job. It’s late afternoon and the prospect of a three-hour drive gets us giddy. He’s driving the van and we pass a woman — a girl, more like — probably on her way home from work or college. Ger honks the horn of the white van and whoops like a hillbilly in a pickup truck, and shouts something “complimentary” at the girl. I die…

GIVE A HOOT, READ A BOOK: ARTS AND HUMANITIES, EMPATHY AND THINKING AGAINST VALUE by Rose Lock
GIVE A HOOT, READ A BOOK: ARTS AND HUMANITIES, EMPATHY AND THINKING AGAINST VALUE
Last summer, shortly after graduating with a degree in English, I was mocked for devoting three years to studying this subject. The person who smirked at my choice of study was an academic himself – a professor of genetics. He had scoffed:
“Pfft. Story-telling is all well and good, but, I mean… really?”
My reply at the time was a combined splutter of bemusement and bits of sandwich, topped off…

Why #notallmen makes me cringe, by Freddie Whittaker
Why #notallmen makes me cringe, by Freddie Whittaker
I’m Freddie. I’m a man, and I’m a feminist.
And, ironically I don’t feel the need to shout it from the rooftops every time one of the thousands of strands to the feminism debate is in full swing (ok, we’ll let the opening paragraph go this time, yeah?).
It’s in the same vein that I don’t feel the need to respond to every feminist article on twitter by helpfully pointing out to whoever has written…

Minister for wo-mental by Freddie Whittaker
By Freddie Whitakker
The departure of culture secretary Maria Miller has probably prompted a big sigh of relief at Number 10, but has also promoted a fair bit of fury about her successor.
No, despite the fact he claimed the reason there were no women on the board at the Bank of England was because appointments were made on merit, I am not talking about Sajid Javid, our new culture secretary, although it is…

The danger of labels by Meri Wills
The danger of labels by Meri Wills
I recently watched the French short film reversing men’s and women’s roles in “everyday sexism”. When I got to the end, I have to say it got me thinking about the everyday things that I experience and that I don’t even really notice anymore let alone complain about: The woman often in front of me in the line at the coffee shop who will try and flirt her way out of paying if a man is serving, but…

A very Tory Twitter storm by Freddie Whittaker
A very Tory Twitter storm by Freddie Whittaker
While it’s not unusual for members of the Tory “grass roots” (right wing) to make headlines for sexist remarks, tweets or tantrums, we have to hand it to Tory Lincolnshire county councillor Richard Davies.
Mr Davies has been forced to apologise after likening an all-women shortlists – a controversial method used by the Labour party to get more women into parliament – to a line-up of scantily-clad…

Happy International Women's Day!
Happy International Women’s Day!
How was your March the 8th? What did you do to celebrate the inspirational women in your life? How many people asked you:
1) Why is there not an International Men’s Day? (There is, 19th November by the by.) Isn’t it a bit sexist to have a women’s day? 2) Why do we even need one anyway?
Regardless, we spent the day watching this…

Review of Hannah Höch at the Whitechapel Gallery By Lily Magenis
Review: Exhibition of works by Hannah Höch spanning the 1910s – 1970s at Whitechapel Gallery, London By Lily Magenis
Hannah Höch was the only female member of the Berlin Dada movement, and a pioneer in photomontage, a medium and method she used to satirize Weimar politics and subversively comment on society, gender, and race. Her first major exhibition in the UK is currently on display at the Whitechapel Gallery from January 15 – March 23, 2014.
The Hannah Höch exhibition brings together a collection over 120…

Do you Love Yourself Enough? By Olivia Atkins
Do you Love Yourself Enough?
Valentine’s Day is typically a celebration of love. What better way to celebrate this national holiday than to attend an event that stresses the importance of loving yourself?
London’s One Billion Rising did just that. On Friday afternoon at London’s iconic Trafalgar Square, a stage was set up ready to host an array of inspirational speakers and powerful musicians.
