Sexual empowerment on our own terms
Recently, actress Emily Ratajkowski wrote an essay about female sexuality for Lenny Letter that I resonated with me. She detailed the ways we tell women that sexuality is something to be hidden, contained, dangerous, whether it’s a teenager whose bra strap is showing or too much lip gloss. As she put it:
The implication is that to be sexual is to be trashy because being sexy means playing into men’s desires. To me, “sexy” is a kind of beauty, a kind of self-expression,...

Crimson Peak: More Bloody Than a Tampon–And I Relished it

Got a sinister hero? Then you’ve got my interest.
by Madeline Iva
I was attracted to the preview for Crimson Peak, and even more attracted to Tom Hiddleston, who stars in it. Yet I couldn’t tell from the preview if the movie was a horror film or romantic suspense. Not loving horror films, I waited to watch it on video where I could fast forward through the scream-y parts if need be.
I shouldn’t have worried.Crimson Peak is a Gothic Romantic Suspense movie—capital G, emphasis on the ick.

The Dead Deliver: Is This the Season of Richonne?

Just a walk through the prison in the quieter days of the zombie apocalypse. Aren’t they cute?
By Alexa Day
I am delighted to say that The Walking Dead is back, and I’m relieved (but not surprised) to say that its return on Sunday was amazing. It delivered everything I’ve come to expect from The Walking Dead over the years — such a welcome change from all the shows that have begun to disappoint me. But there’s a specific reason hope springs eternal during the zombie apocalypse.
This is your o...

What to do about Valentine’s Day?
By Isabelle Drake
Who truly loves Valentine’s Day? Who wakes up on February 14, sure that the entire day will be wonderful, romantic, and filled with complete happiness?
Not most of us. There are too many pit falls. Too many possibilities to feel emotions other than pure bliss. Like what, you ask?
Non-bliss emotions caused by gifts:
Disillusionment: No gift from your SO. Not even a cheap box of conversation hearts? (SO = significant other). Irritation: Wrong gift from your SO. You clearly sa...February 11, 2016
