Lately men have been getting a dose of what women have been getting for a lot longer. Though, equality is still way off in the distance. Most of the beauty products marketed to women (and, more recently, men) seem to be full of empty promises. I can’t speak about every beauty product out there in [...]
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been thinking over feminism and it’s meaning. What I’ve come to realize is that it’s not the word that’s the problem, it’s perception. Well, the word is partially at fault. The word had a different meaning when women had less rights. I mean, look around at all those before [...]
First, we have this: Dear Muslima Stop whining, will you. Yes, yes, I know you had your genitals mutilated with a razor blade, and . . . yawn . . . don’t tell me yet again, I know you aren’t allowed to drive a car, and you can’t leave the house without a male relative, [...]

The Pro-LIfe stance pretty much says that the right to life supercedes all other rights. This means that the pregnant persons’ right to bodily domain is superceded by the fetus’ right to be alive.

Not that I don’t find them silly, but I don’t find them offensive. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam don’t regard women as equal to men. There are reform varieties that some will argue for, but let’s just go with what’s actually written in these books. Wicca (or Neo-Paganism), for instance, is empowering for women in a [...]
Occasionally I hear about Middle Eastern or Islamic feminism. The notion states that women in, let’s say, Saudi Arabia have a different notion of feminism, that they have chosen to cover their faces. I don’t see where the choice is; with death, stoning, imprisonment, etc as a punishment for not wearing a niqāb. Even in [...]
