Introducing the theme for issue #2... THE ANTI-FASHION ISSUE

No labels or fashion brands. Think outside the box. No fluff articles about style. What constitutes "fashion" anyway?

First things first, I'm looking for people to write articles under that theme. Please inbox me your pitches either on Facebook or to my personal email [email protected] 💖

Specifically I'm thinking about having articles about these three things

💖 DIY culture - focus on DIY culture as a "fashion" movement and form of expression, examples of people who do this for themselves and also make their living from it (zines, badges, embroidery etc)
💖 The n**e female body in art - think guerilla girls radicalism, how art has changed since then (if at all)
💖 Also looking for women who work in predominantly 'masculine' job roles and vice versa (and anything on the spectrum)

Any deviations from those initial article ideas are welcome and anything that doesn't fit into the category of ANTI-FASHION is welcome to have a place on our website 💖

Y'ALL! The term "Mx." has OFFICIALLY been added to the Oxford English Dictionary! This is a huge day in history for genderqueer, gender non-binary, and gender non-conforming folks like me! Feminists everywhere should be celebrating this bold move to challenge gender norms and build a more inclusive world--I know that I am!!!

Matt McGorry proving just how ridiculous the censoring of the female ni**le is!

Hi. This is a photo of me from my bodybuilding years, circa 2010. And these are the ni**les of and (I hope you don't mind me borrowing them!) from their Instagram posts that were removed due to the dangerousness of their visible female nips. Can’t you tell by how perverse my photo has become without my asexual male nippies? Sarcasm. If you're new to the movement (like I am!) let me tell you what I think I understand about it. The banning of women's ni**les may sound normal or even inconsequential as you think, "well, women's ni**les are more sexual than men's ni**les”. But that’s not some scientific fact. It’s because of how our society so heavily sexualizes women. And it should be up to the individual woman to decide if she wants to show them, just like men have the choice. Part of the stand of is about the right of women to claim what their breasts and ni**les mean to THEM, and not have that be defined by how men and much of society decides what their bo***es mean. At this point, if you’re still clinging to the notion of “well, that’s just the way it’s been,” then you might reconsider thinking of yourself as a rational and progressive person. If you have breasts, you might think, “I’m not interested in showing my niplets on social media or in public,” in which case you should feel free to keep ‘em swaddled! But shouldn’t you support the freedom of CHOICE of the INDIVIDUAL woman to do this even if YOU don’t want to? Like, even if you’d never be interested in joining a protest, wouldn’t you think it’s important to have the CHOICE to be able to legally protest, if one so chooses? The answer is yes. You might be thinking to yourself, there are way more important issues out there than women being able to expose their bumpy buttons whenever men can. But it’s not just about getting an even tan; it’s one piece of the puzzle of creating deep change in the way our society objectifies women and creates these different standards for men and women (and other genders). At the heart of it, it’s simply about gender equality and equal rights. - and photoshop newbie

The One Where Miley Cyrus is a Philanthropist

"Posing n**e for Paper Magazine it’s undeniable that the 22 year old is provocative as ever but, unlike many of her contemporaries, the purpose isn’t self-promotion but to promote positive change. Far from another case of a hyper-sexual selling point or industry exploitation, it’s the result of an exploration into sexuality and gender that has led the 22 year old to fluidity and to many peoples’ surprise, triggered the unlikely social activist within."

"To put things as simply as I possibly can for you, I had a doughnut this morning and that was fine. I could have one tomorrow and beat myself up mercilessly for it for the rest of the day. The same food that I didn’t give a second thought today might be the reason I grab at my stomach or my thighs tomorrow. There’s very little rhyme or reason to any of it and that, I think, is what I want to try and get across. It’s completely irrational and as a result, as am I. I can only apologise if this is something that affects you directly."
