In treating football players as thick overpaid yobbos who don’t know what a woman looks like, let alone what she feels, Camilla Long goes slightly over the thin line dividing misogyny and normal behaviour. Yes, most footballers are obsessed by money and good looks–not necessarily in that order–and are ready to leave politics and good […]

Spice Girl Sex – Bend It Like (Victoria) Beckham

Having dipped her magic fingers into the lucrative business of music and fashion, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham is now venturing into another domain that defines what it means to be human – sex. And it’s all fun and games and is a feminine answer to macho’s sex dolls. So girls, watch out for the […]
Why Miss Piggy Made Me Love Feminism

There are very few women who have marked my life, but I’m not ashamed to say that Miss Piggy is one of them. It’s the way she throws her blond locks over her shoulders that gets me. Together with her penciled-in eyelashes, Miss Piggy is the living proof that women don’t have to wear tons […]

Sorry Mum, I Think Dad’s Had Sex With Someone Else Again

You learn a lot of things watching television and reading newspapers. I’ve just finished watching the first series of Doctor Foster, a BBC drama series featuring a rather elegant senior GP and her mug of a husband. She would have forgiven him having a sex affair with a twenty-three-year-old dumb blond – an affair that […]
Paris Local Elections – Muck, A Duck, And A Schmuck

There’s nothing quite like a French election carried out after a pandemic not caused by a rat, a tasteless online video, and a duck trying to gate crash Cyrano de Bergerac performed at the Comédie Française. The second round of the local elections taking place in Paris, has got that “je ne sais quoi” feeling […]

These women do this every day, regardless of whether there […]

Peleton Loses $1.5bn Because Feminists Hate Exercise Bikes

Here I go again, trying to find trouble where trouble is to be found. In the same way I will continue to defend Sint Nikolaas and Zwarte Piet as if my life depended on it, I’m going to defend the right of beautiful women to exercise in their own living room. Come on, have you […]
FRANCE: Violences Conjugales – Un Mal Gaulois?

Certains records nationaux sont enviables, d’autres honteux. Les chiffres officiels concernant les violences conjugales en France font froid dans le dos: une femme est tuée par son partenaire ou son ex-partenaire tous les trois jours. Ce qui est encore plus inquiétant, c’est que les chiffres officiels ne reflètent peut-être que la partie visible de l’iceberg […]
La Vie En Rose – Domestic Violence Figures Shame France

Some national records are enviable, others are shameful. The official figures concerning domestic violence in France make for grim reading – a woman is killed by her partner or ex-partner every three days. France’s dismal record on domestic violence is certainly nothing to be proud of, but what is even more worrying is that the […]
Prince Andrew – Forgetting The Bar, Remembering The Pizza!

Do you remember what you were doing on 10 March 2001? I certainly don’t, but then again, I’m an expert at forgetting things when it suits me. And if Prince Andrew’s BBC interview is anything to go by, so is he. It’s one thing not remembering if there was a bar at Tramp’s, but not […]
