My Hairy Dilemma | GUEST VLOG
New guest video! Gen re-evaluates her thoughts on body hair in response to Emer O’Toole’s hairy pitted talk show appearance, and the comments that surrounded it.
“Apparently it’s now considered extremely bad form, let alone completely unfeminine to have body hair. What a travesty! Apart from the fact that I think we need to re-prioritise our media “news”, it made me question my choices and why I do what I do.
I hope my video motivates others to do the same, whether they continue on as usual or change what they do - please question your decisions every so often. Too many of us find ourselves trapped by our own choices, far too late in life.”

New video! My favourite female friendships. I’m going to go and eat my graze box now.
We seem to be posting more of Sophie’s videos than our own at the moment, but she just keeps making such ace vids that we kind of don’t have a choice.
This is another excellent one on ladies who are friends with other ladies. Basically the opposite of girl hate.
(Also Buffy and Willow 5EVA!)
![Why do so many women hate their bodies so much? Do men still get a better pay deal than women? Is it more risky to be a woman in a warzone than a soldier? Do lad’s mags encourage sexual violence?
EQUALS wants YOU to create an imaginative and thought provoking conversation starter for the top prize of a a top SLR Camera, Canon 1100D! Join the debate by making a two minute film about whatever it is you want to say about gender inequality.
Your film should be designed to get people talking, so no lectures, lists of facts or a long history of feminism please. Just your opinions, or those of your friends or even people on the street. [x]
What’s this? Make a 2 minute video on gender inequality to win an SLR camera you say?! Yes we might know some people who can do that!
(Note: you have to be 16-25 and live in the UK, sorry to everyone who falls outside of that!)](http://25.media.tumblr.com/e3ce74e667a6afdbb8f126daa493f151/tumblr_mm6wkxJbyW1r9d5u1o1_500.jpg)

A Short Post on Rape Prevention (via brute-reason) Exactly. Be honest: You don’t give a shit about rape victims. You don’t fucking care. You make excuses for the rapists all the damn time. This is about policing women’s bodies and telling them to just ‘shut up and stop complaining about your rape because you deserved it’ (via sourcedumal) |
