After what you said to him there was never again any truth spoken in the universe. For the first words out of their mouths when they heard you were lies.
Lilith, the burn of dirt and grass on your back when he pushed you down. Lilith of the earth, legs shoulders breasts breathing clay, and they called your name bitch demon monster whore. The next one was weak, was male-fleshed, was Eve was Mary was mother-virgin was learning as you did that opinions are not a girl thing.
Lilith, you spoke the only truth ever spoken in a language so long forgotten that we are just inventing it. Hail Lilith, full of fight and fire. Blessed art thou among women and blessed are your daughters sisters lovers friends. Pray for the sinners…

Crystal Renn: a role model or a blip on the skinny radar?
I’m not happy with the way I look. I may tell you that I am, but I’m not. I constantly worry if I’m too fat to wear certain clothes, too fat to be desirable, too fat to be beautiful. Who should I turn to for support? My friends? My family?
They feel exactly the same way. All of them, every single person I know says the same thing, that thinness is interchangeable with beauty, that skinny=good and “fat” = bad.
Some teenage girls live in a world where nobody, and I mean nobody, can offer support if they’re worried about their body.
Blame the media. Blame my friends. Blame the media for influencing my friends.
I don’t care who you blame because, I…

Chelsea Baker
I remember one day in 5th grade during P.E. class, a particularly douchey male classmate of mine turned to me completely unsolicited and said, “Boys are better than girls at sports, you know.” Now, if this had happened today, you better believe I would have smacked the dodgeball or whiffle ball or whatever sports accessory I may have been holding at the time into his righteous face (just kidding, violence is bad). But I was ten, and even though his statement didn’t seem true to me I just let him get away with it. I mean I personally fail miserably at sports, but that’s due to complete indifference and laziness, neither of which I attribute to my gender or even physical ability. And now that I think about it,…

"The Woman" – Mad Men era femininity reflected by the era's fashion
As the season changes, so do fashion trends; Elle, Vogue and many other magazines have shifted focus from bikinis to boots. This brought a thought to my mind about something that is supposedly back in style: “The Woman.”
“The Woman” is a trend that was conjured up on the runways of Louis Vuitton and Prada in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Obviously, other designers made clothing for women; however it was those two that were somehow considered to have captured the stereotypical essence of femininity. Both collections displayed subdued hues, midi-length, some sort of hourglass shape and frills. Prada seems to send the message that some ruffles on my boobs will do the trick of enhancing not only my bust but also my…
