feminism
At its core, feminism is the simple conviction that women are equal to men in every regard, and should be treated as such.
History Repeats Herself
We all have heard and sometimes actually believed the term history repeats itself. We see it all around us. From small things like fashion making the rounds over and over again, to a timeline of what we do throughout history. The ideal thought is that it’s to prompt change within our society. Usually a change for the better. As a woman living through the rise of another women’s liberation movement, as this year is now being deemed “The Year of the Woman”, are we not looking at the repeat of history?

Tatas or Nadas
Everyone latched onto their mother's boob at one point in time. But while some states allow breastfeeding to be publicly protected, the stigma is something that should be removed as well. Huffington Post published an article last year that said states like South Dakota and Virginia exempt woman who are breastfeeding from any public indecency charges or nudity violations. 47 of the 50 states allow women to breastfeed in public without any exemptions. But yet while those states allow public breastfeeding, there are some people who want them to do it in a spot where the boob and baby are out of sight.

Me, the Sexist Feminist!
A couple of months ago, I was reading the book from Reni Eddo-Lodge, Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race. She talks about systemic racism in the UK. I would never have the audacity to say I can relate as I am white and born into an upper middle class family from France. But, her combat truly rang a bell and I wasn't sure why that bell vibrated so damn strongly inside of me.

It's the twenty-first century, and woman's grasp over her own "dignity" has recently become a matter of public debate, with shows like Love Island posing the question of whether the woman that embraces a set of sex-fuelled beauty standards is a victim or an emblem— empowered or exploited?
