So I’ve been called “ugly” a lot today on the Internet, and I shudder to think how I would feel right now if I was someone who cared what people on the Internet thought of me. Or if I was someone who cared if I am “ugly” or not.
Now, I feel like I need to say a few things, not to defend myself, or to gain sympathy, or anything like that, but just to really make it...

Why Don't Dudes Like My Crotchless Panties?
“It’s inherently accepted in sex—even in what we deem “healthy” and “nonviolent” sexual relationships—that women will do things they don’t really love to please a man, like suck on his balls or go doggy style. In my experience, as well as the experiences of many women I speak with about sex regularly, there’s rarely even a polite question put forward before a man follows his impulses in the...
20 Twitter Dates: Hi, Do You Like Girls? →
20twitterdates:
So here’s another challenge I’m facing on this Twitter dating escapade: there’s no definitive way to know if someone is a. into girls b. single. I suppose this is a problem that is inherent to picking up dudes at bars or in social situations. A couple of weeks ago I spent a good half an hour doing…

Here’s some more unsolicited advice for those seeking to pitch stories to publications.
Most publications have a set tone, strong voice, and key visual aesthetic. There is an editor in charge to make sure these things are adhered to. DO NOT argue when your editor tells you an idea needs to be tweaked to appeal to the site’s audience better, ESPECIALLY where it is YOU that has...

20 Twitter Dates: Hi, I'm Going To Date Guys I... →
So I’m doing this now…
20twitterdates:
Last year I went on a date with a guy I met on Twitter. It was an interesting experience; unlike using a dating site, I had a much less meticulously organized version of who this person was, via links he posted to things he liked, RTs, who he followed and who followed him. Because the primary use…

Anonymous asked: Firstly love your writing. I find it really interesting and hilarious. Secondly you are a very very beautiful girl and I wish I irrationally hated more things so I would be of interest to you. Finally im curious of your views about people's fantasies, do you think they are something that should remain fantasy? Or should they be explored? Have you ever helped someone's? Or had weird ones...

When I was doing my Media & Communications degree (yes I have two degrees, stop it, I know I’m a nerd), I distinctly remember in a Journalism class, a woman from The Age (a high circulation Australian daily newspaper), coming in as a guest lecturer. She said something that still resonates with me now, because I still hear that things like this are being taught in classrooms. She said...

Anonymous asked: Thanks for convincing perennially pissed off dudes that we can still get girls feelin' it. If there's anything better than being pissed off at the world it's knowing that being a grumpy piece of shit isn't all dead cats and VD.

I actually just came up with the solution to marriage equality guys! As a logical conclusion from all arguments against marriage equality pertaining to the “nuclear family” and “protecting children” it seems like the only solution is to ban marriage across the board, unless both parties seeking to unify under the contract of marriage (regardless of gender) sit a parental...

I am currently enraged by this ridiculous post on the Guardian.
It affirms everything that is wrong with our perception of women, because as sexist and horribly written as the article itself is, there are some inherent truths within it; that is to say that generally, these are the reasons why society, overall, likes or dislikes the women listed. And that disgusts me as much as the article,...

I’ve been saying Taylor Swift is the country Beyoncé for ages and “Bow Down Bitches” is a real testament to that. Both women are utterly talented and wonderfully perfectionist, but both seem to have a false idea that associates being a powerful women with being better than other women.
When I think of the kind of feminism I’d like to see in pop I think of the ’90s...
Anonymous asked: Did UoM require the LSAT as part of its application process when you attended? If not, and you got in straight out of year 12, did it require an ATAR of 99+? Information as regards GPA, personal statement, and standardized test scores would be helpful to other would be UoM law school students if you feel comfortable disclosing that information. Thanks.
