The tampon tax has hit two big bouts of controversy this year - first when it was revealed funds from the tax went to an anti-abortion charity, and second when it was revealed that it would take the EU nearly 18 months to overturn the 5% levy on sanitary products. But one bright spot is that supermarket retailer Tesco has announced they will cover the 5% tax on behalf of customers. It will apply… → Read More
I'm late to it, but I'm in the grips of Mad Men on Netflix, the crazy world of ad men steeped in whiskey, sex and sexism. Women are consistently refe... → Read More
I'm lucky. When you hear my story, you may not think of me as such, but I know I am. I'm 36 years old, and for 31 of those, I had a pretty calm and easy life. My parents love each other and are still together; my sister and I are best friends. During my teens and twenties, my biggest concern was whether or not I was going to get a job, and where I was going on Saturday night. When I was 31, I… → Read More
“You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible,” said Bob Marley, about true love. But how do you know when it actually happens? The question was posed on Reddit and the responses are really quite beautiful. 1. For me it was a quiet inner peace.

Jamie Oliver posted an adorable picture on Instagram of his son River Rocket on the floor with the caption: “Morning little boy, always good to get a nice smile.” But even celebrity chefs aren’t immune from mum-shaming, as his mother Sally Oliver wrote on the post: “This adorable child! He looks so like you as a baby! But please get him off that hard floor now”. A lot of people found it… → Read More
Ahead of Rio Ferdinand’s BBC1 documentary Being Mum and Dad airing March 28 at 9pm, the footballer has spoken very movingly about talking to his children after his wife passed away. Rebecca Ellison was 34 when she died of breast cancer in May 2015 and it blew Ferdinand’s world apart. He then had to grapple with his grief, as well as raising his three children, now aged 10, eight and five. He… → Read More

Dearest Toerag, You probably don't know what it's like to be me, or in fact any of the girls who muster up the courage to come to your boxing gym. Maybe you've known what it's like to feel small, self-conscious and weak, but you don't know what it's like to feel all of those things, and walk into a heavily male gym where your sexuality is set against such a stark background of grunting and… → Read More
I was on a panel event a few weeks ago, and someone asked me how, as a woman in the UK, I thought the election of Donald Trump affected me. The fact is, Trump's election doesn't affect me directly but his rhetoric reverberates around the world. What his presidency is doing to women - to every minority in fact - in the United States is hideous. But I can choose to watch my serotonin levels drop… → Read More
So far in London Fashion Week street style, we’ve seen neon shoes, hella knitwear, dinosaur pouches, bridal veils saying ‘rebel’ and a man dressed like a Rubix cube. But all of them are rank amateurs compared to this beautiful creature. From the flowers garlanding his turban to the intricate face mask, the coat of many colours to the person in the bear suit next to him (who clearly is his mate)… → Read More

Christmas is usually the time that tips most Facebook users over the edge, whether it’s pictures of your mates’ babies dressed as puddings, Christmas tree one-upmanship or the smug bastard that went to Barbados for the holidays. Either way, if you’re contemplating deleting the social media platform (for the umpteenth time), you’re certainly not alone. People took to Reddit to explain what… → Read More
