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
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.

Feminist Wins of the Week
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 […]
