Thanks to works like Asking for It, the topic of sexual consent has been placed high on the news agenda. Recent incidences like the Standford rape case have also helped continue the debate and prompted conversation about the issue. Input from celebrities has always been high with Lena Dunham being amongst the cohort of women […]
This seems to be a case of grossly misjudged humour. A new t-shirt available at Forever 21 has pissed off a lot of people for its sexist and frankly inappropriate message. Worryingly, the t-shirts are being sold as part of the children’s range, aimed at boys as young as 5. “Hola ladies,” “Sorry ladies I […]
Look we’re no architects but it seems there’s something awry with this house. The image was uploaded to Reddit by user liquidthc and has since been viewed over a million times. At first glance, it seems like a fairly decent all-American home but all is not as it seems. The issue, while pretty obvious after a while, […]

This week I was having dinner with two friends who happen to be two of the most successful and beautiful women I know. As it usually does with female friends, conversation quickly turned to clothes and from clothes to bodies and from bodies to general self-loathing. We each participated. I hate my tummy, always have.

McSorley, now 66, is accused […]

The aim of the bill was to amend the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act to allow for abortions in the case of fatal foetal abnormalities.

Remember life before puberty (LBP) when all you had to worry about was where you left your bike and what toy was included in a Happy Meal? LBP was blissful, void of spots, hormones, and mood swings. It’s hard now to imagine LBP but for those living it, it’s hard to imagine anything else. I […]
Pokemon GO has taken over the Internet. And while you can’t *officially* download it in Ireland yet, plenty have figured out hacks to use it. Our own Ciara Knight sauntered around Dublin yesterday giving a preview of what you can expect to see. It’s a lot of fun. For one eejit in Singapore though, the […]
This post by Sean Ellis originally appeared on Sean’s blog HERE. Imagine a world where a woman is not listened to. Where medical experts are not listened to.
