feminism
At its core, feminism is the simple conviction that women are equal to men in every regard, and should be treated as such.
Is International Women’s Day Even Worth Celebrating?
Annually, March 8th is a day to honour female leaders, humanitarians, academics, innovators, ceiling glass breakers and other heroines. I’m not certain what I should be celebrating this year other than friendship and love amongst women. I’ve taken that for granted for too long, and always tended to pitch my intimate relationships, and familial relationships above my friendships.

Why International Women’s Day March 8 is Important
You’re not alone if you haven’t heard of International Women’s Day (IWD). Many people, especially women, aren’t even aware that it exists, let alone know what it means and why it’s important to remember every year on March 8. IWD is an annual celebration recognizing the contributions of women throughout history and across the globe to society — and it’s essential to remember this day each year, both in our personal lives and in our businesses, because there are so many ways that women make things better in the world.

World Women's Day March 8, International Women's Day
Today is World Women's Day. To protect the rights of all women in the world, the United Nations declared March 8, 1975, as International Women's Day and called on all nations of the world to observe it properly. Every year March 8 is celebrated all over the world with a unique feature. In some countries, the day is also celebrated as a public holiday. Such as Russia, Cuba, Vietnam, Ukraine, and several other countries. In many countries, including China, Macedonia, Nepal, and Madagascar, only women enjoy public holidays on this day. Although neither of these two systems exists in Bangladesh; however, the day is being celebrated in rallies, seminars, symposiums.

Not That Bad
The first time I ran a focus group for survivors of domestic abuse, I remember one young woman, her baby in her arms, saying, “I’ve not had it that bad. Some of the women here have been really badly treated.” There was a pause. “I mean, I’ve been in hospital twice, but it’s not been that bad.”

I am Human, and Nothing Human is Alien to me. Top Story - January 2022.
In the light of the release of ‘Framing Britney Spears’ documentary, portraying, what seems to be a perpetual tragedy, Spears’ life, I decided to make a little YouTube search and ran across a fan-made documentary series, and the story of Spears’ life shook me.

Women Of The World, You Are Heroes
In early society, women were simply pushed aside and not given the opportunity to go to school or even vote. At least, that’s what many people believe. But the fact of the matter is this wasn't early society. Those events weren’t that long ago. In the U.S., it took us a disgraceful one hundred and forty four years to really even acknowledge women as people, from the year the U.S. was formed in 1776 to the year women were able to vote in 1920. Not only has sexism been prevalent in the U.S. but the discrimination based on race, religion, and beliefs have been major problems as well. And because of these problems, our society has failed to accept many wonderful people for these meaningless reasons.

Poise Zen
Femininity has been reframed as time goes on, but it is so much deeper than appearance and pussy. Femininity is an energy, an embodiment of Venus and the strength and discipline of Saturn, wrapped in the desires of the entire world. When I think of femininity, I think of my fertility and ability to nurture myself and my life; the ability to create not only a life but experiences and outcomes. I think of planting seeds with everything I put my energy into. I think of validity in everything I decide for myself, all while having a “validate me not” mindset, as I begin to poise myself instead of generations of lack mindsets who would simply not understand. Being so balanced and sure of yourself that you allow your soul to express itself through your body. Turning up the heat unexpectedly, expressing my true desires without a lens of guilt.

The Gone Girl Revival. Top Story - January 2022.
Spoiler warning! Gone Girl, both the book and the movie, have seen a resurgence in the past six months or so. Snippets of the 'Cool Girl Monologue' have been floating around Tiktok, and aesthetic images of Amy Dunne are appearing on Instagram, with captions claiming 'she did nothing wrong'. Of course, with lockdown it was inevitable that many movies would find many new viewers, particularly films that were very popular when they first came out, but there has been a certain added attraction to movies with highly gender-based commentaries: American Psycho, Fight Club, and Gone Girl, to name a few. The reasons for this Gone Girl resurgence in particular are a complex tale of anger, counter-movement and irony.

The Mysterious Genital Sculptures That Adorn Britain's Churches. Top Story - January 2022.
Sheela Na Gigs are seemingly erotic stone carvings of female figures predominately found in Romanesque churches. What's special about them? Well these sculptures consist of an old disproportionate woman squatting and pulling apart her vulva, a fairly strange thing to find in a church.
