A Body

You reduce me to my body parts, The curves of my breasts, The slopes of my thighs,  The length of my calves,  The indent of my waist,  The roundness of my buttocks, The lines of my face. And from these parts you construct –  A woman. But she’s not me. I am more than just …

Our Bodies

Sit safe in the knowledge your staff will protect you, As our bodies are torn apart, Dissected for your pleasure, Your power,  Your violent control. Destroyed as your incubators  To create lives you don’t even want For your names to live on In a world you are destroying  As resoundingly as you’ll destroy us. 

Patriarchy

It’s passive but persuasive, Embedded in our systems, generations of unquestioning trust in its power, It’s taught and held in us. Rotting us from the inside As we’re still attacked by it from the outside.

Women Who Rebel

Heya, So today I want to talk about women who rebel! I’m not focusing specifically on one woman or another because honestly there are thousands, probably millions actually, of women who have rebelled. Against stereotypes, against society, against oppression, against patriarchy, against husbands and fathers. But instead I want to talk about what it takes …

Why Is Virginity So Important?

Heya, So continuing the love and relationships vibes we've been having on the blog lately today we're talking about one of the core parts of a romantic relationship - sex. More specifically the first time you do it. I'm just going to preface this by saying that this is generalised and I'm talking about legal …

Little Girl

Oh little girl, with your innocence, Don't try to grow up too quickly. This purity you have will never again return, Once the world stains you with its expectations of womanhood. You'll forever be marked but the shame, the guilt, the surpression soon enough. Don't rush to embrace it a second sooner than you must. …

The Lioness

The lioness was once timid and meek. Viewed by all around as weak. Like her mother taught her she let all the males eat first, Filling their stomachs until they were fit to burst. And she chewed on the scraps the left, Never letting herself feel bereft. And when she matured, She found a mate …

It’s Implied

In the slope of her breasts, In the curve of her waist, In the space between her thighs. It's implied. In the length of her skirt, In the cut of her top, In the height of her heels. It's implied. In the style of her hair, In the makeup on her face, In the scent …

Smiles And Stilletos

Smile, love. Like you mean it. It makes you prettier. What've you got to frown about anyway? Go on just turn that frown upside down. You know you want to. Why do you have to be such a bitch? I'm just being nice. You should wear heels instead of those fugly trainers. They'll make you …

Arse

Tegan moved through the gym with steps as carefully measured as the clothing she had chosen to wear today. Usually she didn't put too much thought into what she wore to workout, just grabbing a sports bra and leggings from the basket that served as her workout wardrobe, a clean top from the drawer of …

A Good Girl

Heya everyone, Today I want to talk about the phrase a good girl. It's one I've been brought up hearing a lot over my life time, and I suspect that pretty much every other girl has heard it repeatedly as well. I know that people also use the phrase good boy, but honestly I'm not …

What A Woman Really Wants

. . . Is pockets in her clothes! (I'll come to this later) Hey guys and gals, So today's post is a bit of a feminist one (dad you can stop reading now, we both know you won't enjoy it), and it's looking on what people in my life expect me to want as a …
