Belated TOPIC ANNOUNCEMENT!

THIS WEEK: Racism and Feminism

- A topic that’s been discussed a lot recently following Caitlin Moran’s Twitter remarks as pictured in the attached image. Let us know what you think in the comments below.

NEXT WEEK: Breast cancer awareness and pinkwashing

- Slight change of plan, as October is Breast Cancer Awareness month we wanted to fit this discussion in before the month is out.

THE WEEK AFTER: Sexism in Halloween costumes

- Previously planned for the week before, we’ll now be discussing this during Halloween week itself.
