They’re victims and perpetrators rolled into one. — “Wow, that’s revealing,” Tiffany* says to a friend of mine. “I usually wear either a low-cut bikini top or a thong. Both is too much. But you know, maybe that is just me being conservative!” Tiffany turns to her friend and says “I love your bikini! It looks like lingerie…

It should come as no surprise that the Royal Family is a deeply racist institution. — The leader of the British charity Sistah Space was interrogated and harassed by Prince William’s godmother and aide to the queen Lady Susan Hussey during a visit to Buckingham Palace. A description of the exchange reads like a cruel parody of a Britain that should be long dead. Aide: Where…

We are taught to put up with stuff, and see it as a sign of strength. — My friend Nicky had just had her first time and was telling me all about it in whispered bursts across the desk in high school math class.
