POWER PLAYS 2.0 Vol 3: Uplifting Feminist Tunes

Published: September 28, 2018

I’ve been pretty upset the past few weeks as I’ve seen my family, friends, and professors justify the allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Many have excused his alleged actions because he was drunk and young. Neither of those are excuses for committing sexual violence, and it is incredibly disappointing to see people I care […]

Dear Men: Stop Using Feminism to Hide Your Abuse

Published: August 7, 2018

CW: sexual abuse, sexual violence, #MeToo During my freshman year in college I started seeing a guy who I knew through on-campus progressive activism. Though he was a self-proclaimed feminist, throughout our brief relationship I noticed that he would treat me like I was disposable and less accomplished, often demeaning me for my lack of […]

Feminist Wins of the Week

Published: July 27, 2018

I’m sure you’ve all noticed there haven’t been any Feminist Wins posts recently. Honestly, I didn’t feel I could write one: immigrant families are still separated, Trump is issuing terrifying threats on Twitter, and Brett Kavanaugh, an anti-choice judge who believes in exponential presidential power, has been nominated to fill the empty Supreme Court seat. […]

Feminist Wins of the Week

Published: July 6, 2018

It’s July (my second favorite month of the year!) and it is HOT. As the summer heats up, this political landscape – a hellacious fiery wasteland – is making everything even hotter, and Justice Kennedy’s retirement last week was the nail in the coffin for me. My love for summer + hatred for the government […]

PTSD Awareness Day: Growing Up with PTSD

Published: June 27, 2018

CW: violence, trauma, police A night in September 2008 began like other nights: I got home from school, did my homework, went upstairs to practice for my dance class the next day, and came downstairs at 6:00 for dinner. I ate, talked to my mom (my dad was out of town) and laughed with her […]

Feminist Wins of the Week

Published: June 22, 2018

I’ll be frank – this week has really sucked. It’s been hard to get excited about any feminist wins when families are being systematically separated at the U.S./Mexico border under the Trump administration’s new immigration policies. We’ve still got some feminist wins this week for you down below, but encourage you to check out this running […]

Women across the world are breaking glass ceilings and doing some pretty bad-ass stuff recently. Check out some Feminist Wins from this past week! Juniors tennis champion is the youngest in 24 years Cori “Coco” Gauff won the junior girls championship at the French Open this week, making her the youngest champion in the singles […]
