So 2014 has finally dawned upon us, and whilst I’m sure many of you are already conjuring up new promises you’ll swear to keep for the future ahead, I decided to reflect back on what the previous year provided us with. That’s when it hit me- whether we realised it […]

I was astonished to read Susan Dench’s column the other week that implied feminism had indirectly led to this new-found ‘hook-up culture’. One thing is for sure, Dench surely would not be able to voice her opinion without feminism. The column attacks feminism, claiming that the movement has caused a […]

Heads or tails? Either, according to Facebook, just as long as it’s not tits. On Monday 21st October, and so just in time for Halloween, Facebook decided to lift its ban on beheading (well, images and footage of people being beheaded) but not its ban on exposed breasts. Cue: footage […]
