What is a misogynist?

By zarinamacha September 21, 2017April 18, 2023
2017 / Feminism

A person (usually a man) that hates women. A misandrist is a person (usually a woman) that hates men. I find the term ‘misogynistic’ to be often mis-used by feminists. Disney films have been accused of being ‘sexist’ and ‘misogynistic’ when I see nothing sexist about them. How is a […]

The Magic of Books

By zarinamacha September 20, 2017October 19, 2020
2017 / Books / Books Films Music TV

Do I believe in magic? Not in a literal, izzy-wizzy, hocus-pocus sense. But in a way I do believe in magic. The magic of storytelling, through music, films, and above all, books. Books are magical; they are a way of stepping into a different world and imagining whatever you like […]

By zarinamacha September 15, 2017October 22, 2020
2017 / Young People

In year 13, aged 17, I applied to Cambridge to study Philosophy. The whole thing was a mistake; picture a person that will go to any lengths to prove they’re ‘good enough’ or ‘special’ enough to be noticed by others. I had wanted to go to BRIT school aged 16-18 […]

Picture Perfect

By zarinamacha September 12, 2017October 22, 2020
2017 / Young People

If I want to make myself depressed, I’ll scroll through my Facebook feed. Namely, scroll through girl’s profiles where they have pictures of them looking beautiful in tight dresses with wine bottles on a night out. On Instagram it’s even better (or worse) considering all it is are pictures. A […]

Female Genital Mutilation

By zarinamacha September 11, 2017November 26, 2020
2017 / Health and Beauty

Disclaimer: This is really hard for me to write. As a woman, female genital mutilation makes me feel beyond disgusted. My heart goes out to all the women that are forced to undergo this horrendous barbaric practice. This topic will be addressed as seriously as possible. I have a post […]
