Today I’m going to fulfill a promise I made quite a while ago, and talk about what a consent culture would look like. A consent culture is one in which the prevailing narrative of sex — in fact, of human interaction — is centered around mutual consent. It is a culture with an abhorrence of forcing anyone […]
Recently, a number of people have taken it upon themselves to tell me that I “can’t” identify as a feminist because I do porn. This fascinates and confuses me on so many different levels. Since when are feminists not “allowed” to exert control over their bodies and make adult decisions about who they will sleep […]
Some days just suck Nowadays, having an affair is easier than ever, considering how many sites are devoted to exactly that. But as more and more of these sites are created, we also get more insight into the statistics of cheating.

Meghan is too busy for the moment, being a new mother of little Archie that was welcomed to this world just last week, and fans want to team her up with Princess Eugenie for a particular task as soon as she is back to work. Anti-Slavery Collective that Princess Eugenie and her friend Jules run […]
Like many daydreamers, I often think about time periods other than the one I’m currently living in that I would most likely enjoy. I usually settle on the roaring ’20s (it’s easy to get caught up in how cute everyone would look with flapper dresses and bobbed hair). Then I remember, of course, what the […]
Look at me. Look in my eyes. Let me tell you why I’m here. I’m here because I figure that the women who come here have already agonized over this decision enough.
