But Who's The Best Man?

Helen Mitternight — Mon, 26 Jun 2017 22:00:00 +0000

I don’t know if this is a genuine trend or just a news gimmick, but did you know you could marry yourself?

Yep, it’s called sologamy, even more mono than monogamy.

People who have done self-commitment ceremonies say it is the ultimate feminist statement, a way of affirming that yes, you and you alone, are enough. No soulmate on the horizon? No problem! You can still have the ceremony, the pomp, the presents. You just marry yourself!

Diary of a Former Hater: Country Music

Brennan Mullin — Wed, 13 Jul 2016 12:36:00 +0000

I used to hate country music. And I can’t believe it. I was missing out!

Every day from 3rd grade to 10th grade, I was subjected to this cursed genre by my bus driver in Batesville, Indiana. His name was Gary. Listening to B-105 Country, our local Cincinnati station, interrupting the peaceful quiet of a before-school morning, was torture to me. I remember being in 5th grade and vowing to myself never to listen to country music on my own free will and promising myself to love the Black Eyed Peas forever.

Jeanne Everett — Mon, 05 Oct 2015 14:00:00 +0000

As a local woman and feminist, I have loved reading SKIRT! Magazine since I moved here over 5 years ago. Little did I know about 4 and a half years later, I would be working for them as a fashion and product stylist for the style pages.

A Woman's Worth

Here's the thing. All babies are cute.

Baby ducks are cute, baby rabbits are cute. Puppies and kittens make YouTube one of the most visited sites on the Internet. And I'm sure baby river otters are about the most adorable things on the planet. My child is cute.

Faking the Big O

So, have you ever faked it? Has the big O ever become the big Oh No Way?

Hell Yes, I'm a Feminist

Stephanie Hunt — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:11:00 +0000

Betty Friedan and I have a lot in common. We're both a little fiesty and a little tired of getting stuck doing the laundry. And we both turned 50 recently. Well, truth be told—while I turned 50 in January, Friedan herself did not celebrate a birthday.

I recognize that the material in this post is not new, so let's just get past that. Yet, I find myself wanting to write about it anyway, so here we go.

Hooked on Love

Stephanie Hunt — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 16:46:00 +0000

Her name may be lowercase, but bell hooks is an ALL CAPS kind of thinker, writer, poet, teacher, revolutionary. Lucky for Charleston, she's here this weekend to stir our hearts and minds toward rethinking what love really means for us—politically, personally, spiritually, even academically.
