Stop Telling People to Love their Bodies
The idea is pretty much everywhere, from the most radical of feminists, to the most superficial ad campaigns put out by companies that also sell skin-bleaching agents in India. “Love Your Body”. It’s about the only thing most feminists, most mainstream people, and the Empowerment Industry seem to find common ground on. And on its...

If you never got into Russell Brand, or whatever
I rewatched ‘Ponderland: class’ the other day and I don’t know how you can’t like him, he’s so lovely. (ok he’s been in some shit films but anyway)
IF you haven’t seen it, I IMPLOOOORE YOU to watch his show on (social) class. Brand’s from a working class background so he’s good on class!

SEXISTS DEBATING SEXISM, YEAH THAT'S FAIR
I’m watching question time and they are talking about the two sky sports football presenters who got sacked (or maybe only one of them got sacked) for being fucking terribly sexist to a female referee as well as other incidents where they were caught candidly referring to a woman in a sexual conversation as ‘it’.

I am looking for a young graphic designer to do some poster and promotional design for my short film. I am low on funds and cannot pay anything, but it would look good on your resume and I’d be happy to write you a letter of recommendation. Please message me if interested.

I read a review of our last show and what’s obvious is I lack energy on stage - ok I knew this but I thought maybe I’d gotten away with just seeming cool and collected but no. I need to hold a guitar really… But as I suck at guitaring and singing simultaneously I feel like I have to learn a choreographed set of totallypunkrock moves cos wat will come out naturally is some kind...

Yeah it gets better towards the end but this statement gets makes no sense… There is nothing remotely radical or outside-the-norm about drinking. In fact it takes a lot of courage to tell people you don’t drink when you’re a young person because you will be treated like a freak. This statement could have been written by one of those billion pound beer companies. As for...

It was brilliant… and now I’m watching question time… which is so frustrating in comparison.
MSN news (travel, love and dating, WATEVERRR) is so irritating I think I should start a STFUMSN or STFUMSNnews or something cos I really could write about their shitty heteronormative-bordering-on-homophobic, transdenying, sexist probably racist corporate bullshit.. yet I have to see it everytime I log in to hotmail…. also I could take submissions… what do y’all think?

So it’s like major part of my life vs being hated and made to feel bad about talking about the way I live.

Yeah, this promises to tell you places in the world where women outnumber men. In fact it gives you like one country where the percentage is like 53% women. Implying, actually that the remaining countries have more men which I find even stranger….
After that it gets very revealing, they say that, obviously air stewards are mostly women but would you believe it, they also list some...
