The Same You in 2025
The gym commercials blare on my TV, a rude interruption during the suspense and drama of my evening show. I watch the happy, smiling, thin women workout on my screen. They look great, I won’t lie. The commercial cuts to text on the screen, how much money I can save by joining now.

How Stridhan Empowers Women in Land Inheritance Issues
Women in Hindu society have historically possessed limited rights when it comes to ancestral land ownership. Unlike their male counterparts, they have not enjoyed equal access to land inherited from their ancestors since ancient times, largely due to the traditional concept of Stridhan within Indian culture. This custom has influenced the extent of women's rights in land inheritance. Legislation such as the Hindu Succession Amendment Act (2005) introduced a new principle of equality, ensuring that women receive the same inheritance rights as men, particularly regarding land.

The True Victims of the Gender Pay Gap
Did you know that men are the real victims of systemic discrimination? It’s a brilliant fact I thankfully had explained to me (by a man, who of course understands sexism a lot better than me). Now be ready ladies, this will truly change your outlook on life, because since “men earn more, they have to pay more tax”. It all finally makes sense now, those pesky women aren’t the victim of the gender pay gap, but rather it’s the men! Girls we have to UP OUR GAME, we need to be allies to the male community! On top of this, because women retire with average pension savings of £69,000 compared to the struggling man’s pension of £205,000 they also have to pay far more pension tax than us. My eyes have been opened to the truth, and never in the year 2024 would I think there would still be the disturbing idea that those who earn more money have to pay more tax.

The Tale of Pretty Privilege and How It Influences Women
How familiar are we with the concept of Pretty Privilege? It's common to think that individuals considered conventionally attractive—whether male or female—have an easier life than those who don't meet societal beauty standards. This perception is supported by evidence that beautiful people often receive better grades, have favorable job interview outcomes, enjoy increased opportunities, and grow up with greater self-esteem and confidence, as they frequently receive compliments about their looks. However, the implications of pretty privilege extend beyond mere superficial advantages. Often, it stems from internal biases and societal perceptions. This article explores the complexities of pretty privilege and its connections to longstanding issues of sexism and patriarchy, as well as its ongoing discussions in today's social media landscape.
