I know we were all taught as children not to call each other names and we know how much racism hurts us as a culture (or at least I hope those reading this blog do) but there as so many more ways we use labels in our lives that shut us off from groups, from information, and from individuals and if you are anything like me, it takes someone pointing it out every now and then for a real wake up call to happen in your life so change can begin to rebuild your way of interacting in the world.
What would happen to this world if the real power couple was Oprah and Gayle King, the editor-in-chief at O! magazine and her best friend. It has been speculated for years and the case is just not so, but let’s pretend and see how the world would change.

I got my free Quit Kit in the post the other day, on the exact same day that I had chosen on which to quit smoking. For once, the NHS got something right! By the way, I’d suggest you make yourself comfortable. I have little doubt that there will be many more ‘I Have Decided [...]

I was never a tomboy. I liked glittery puffpaint and cheap-smelling lipgloss and would stare for hours into the mirror, coming my hair into the tightest, smoothest ponytail possible.

The other night my partner and I stuck it out for two whole games while being heckled by a couple of men at the pool table. They were agressive and full of sexist and homophobic insults. I won’t bore you with the all too familiar details. The barwoman has promised to throw them out next [...]

The other day I was filled with nostalgic pangs of longing for our old women’s only gym in the UK. I can in fact pinpoint the start of this feeling to one specific incident. The pangs started just about the time a pompous looking man decided to do the ultimate in space invasion and step [...]

When I was a kid I always thought feminists and lesbians were the same. When I discovered my own sexuality and finally, at 15, began the grueling process of coming out, I realized how wrong I was as a kid. To gain a little more perspective on the subject, I did search the net for [...]
