A high school in Utah has Photoshopped longer sleeves and higher necklines onto female students in its yearbook. Student Shelby Baum, above, even had a tattoo on her collarbone airbrushed out of her photo. Baum and other female students said that many other students had their pictures Photoshopped without their consent, which they say was […]
Amber Rose has proveN herself as a force to be reckoned with when it comes to standing against slut-shaming and sexual double standards for women. Whether it’s serving Kanye a viral comeback after being dissed, standing up for Kim Kardashian after her nude backlash, or writing a personal op-ed for Time, Amber Rose has proven that […]
Conservatives have decided they don’t like feminism for being, you know, feminism, so they created their own brand — it’s called (duh) “Freedom Feminism.” You, a lady, are free to be a woman without having to be a man. You’re free to enjoy your own femininity! You’re free to rewrite hundreds of years of the […]

One actually kind of controversial view that I hold (and will defend until the […]
