Love Island 2019 runner up, Molly Mae has found herself at the centre of controversy, following comments she made on Steven Bartlett’s podcast, The Diary of a CEO. Allegedly taken out of context, Molly Mae’s commentary has fuelled severe internet backlash that has been branded sexist bullying by supporters of the influencer, while critics of […]
The first accusations brought against Chris Noth was in 1995, by a former partner. This was before he reached peak fame, and was able to take advantage of the heartthrob status bestowed on him by Sex and the City to rape a woman around 20 years his junior. 1995 was 20 years before he was […]
Sometimes, I exist so loudly. I can hear the vibrations under my skin, humming loudly. They are like kind little birds, chirping at me, reminding me, Hey! You’re here! You are on planet earth and this is where you belong! And I can’t help but agree: this is the only place I’d like to be. […]
I’ve worked in marketing for longer than I’d like to admit (Alexa, play ‘Forever Young) and as a social media user to boot, I find myself fascinated by the role the influencer community plays in shaping consumer decisions. What was once a stream of wide-eyed youths posting their shopping hauls on YouTube is now big […]
The internet can be a wonderful place, until it’s not. Until men with links to inceldom murder two women, one three-year-old girl and two men, before turning the gun on themselves, in an event described by police as the worst mass shooting in Britain since 2010.

Legislators in Norway have passed a new law requiring social media influencers to disclose when they’ve retouched or added a filter to their content. According to the proposal, in Norway, 70,000 children and young people have mental health issues requiring treatment. Over half of 15 year old girls in the country have mental health issues, […]
This week in another open display of bizarrely acceptable sexism, athletes on the Norwegian women’s beach handball team are being punished for wearing shorts, rather than bikini bottoms. Yes, you read that correctly. In 2021, the European Handball Federation issued fines over a “case of improper clothing”. Here’s a picture I found of the committee. […]
The term ‘fangirls’ is used pejoratively to describe girls’ involvement in music. The established narrative imposes a widely accepted belief that girls, despite their devotion to a particular band or enthusiasm in a specific music scene, is based entirely on a superficiality that boys and men are exempt from. Like most women, I’ve been on […]
Blonde on Blonde is, arguably, Bob Dylan’s most iconic album. Granted, that’s an easy argument to make for any Bob Dylan album. But for more than half a century on, Blonde on Blonde remains a crucial addition to musical history, pop culture and the 1960s New York music scene, that makes Blonde on Blonde an […]
Ah, poor billionaires. In an increasingly socially woke world, billionaires have it rough. No longer is it acceptable to simply hoard cash, exploit the working class and grin maniacally in photos with your thumbs aloft. Oh no. Instead, billionaires are under pressure to prove they aren’t entirely useless. So, while racking their collective brains, they […]
