feminism
At its core, feminism is the simple conviction that women are equal to men in every regard, and should be treated as such.
Love Island: Sex and Entrepreneurialism
Womanhood is, and always has been, a weapon: An experience shaped by the ammunition society happens to load it with and which areas of a woman's identity it chooses to put under fire. It's the twenty-first century, and woman's grasp over her own "dignity" has recently become a matter of public debate, with shows like Love Island posing the question of whether the woman that embraces a set of sex-fuelled beauty standards is a victim or an emblem— empowered or exploited?

Reasons You Should Marry a Feminist
Whether you are male or female, there are many reasons why you should marry a feminist. The key to a happy marriage includes common values, an equal partnership, mutual respect, and a solid friendship. In a traditional patriarchal marriage, it's impossible for a marriage to be equal, because underneath the surface, the men in those marriages do not value women the same way. Gender roles have become so solidified that the bank accounts are still run by men, and women are expected to be the ones working hard in the home. But if you want to be happily married in the long term, marry a feminist. Here are the top reasons why you should marry a feminist and the benefits that will come from it.

The Monstrous Other: Uneducated/ing Women in Islam
The Monstrous Other. Firstly, we must understand what is an "other." An other is a taboo or a grossly under talked about subject that affects a particular group of people. Others are usually sensitive in their subject matter, require detailed analysis of many factors that influence it, and finally, is rooted in the fabric of many people's lives.

Catcalling: The Experience of It and the Movement That Follows
I had my first experience with catcalling at age 12, on my way to a Halloween party dressed as a cat. My friend and I were walking past a pub and we didn't know that the way we were dressed was prime material for men three decades older than us to wolf-whistle, jeer and make us feel uncomfortable. We had been taught by society to accept these behaviours and compliments from men, and to be grateful for the attention.

The Issue with ‘Feminist’ Men
Can men be feminists? Yeah, but some feminist men unfortunately do not use their label as a feminist for good. Instead, they use gender equality to hide their true abusive intentions. Though this is not aimed toward men who rightfully call themselves feminists, who do not portray abusive tactics, it is important to be aware of the male "feminists" who use their label to disrespect the entire feminist movement.

Eve Evolved
Ever since the first woman was created, we have been evolving through time. So much has changed for us since we took that first bite, and when I say we, I mean that as a whole I feel that women are all connected in a sort of sisterhood that has helped us through the years.

Flavors
No matter a person’s race, religion, sexuality, or socioeconomic background, they cannot escape stereotypes. Every person experiences them in some regard. Some face them at much harsher extremes than others. But in essence, we all are stereotyped in some fashion.
