Welcome to the blog!

 Hello, I’m Christina, and this blog will primarily be dedicated to addressing gender issues, and wider societal issues from a truly egalitarian perspective. There’s a lot of tribalism at play which I don’t think is necessarily healthy for society. Lots only focus on one side of things, whilst dismissing the other- here, I will focus on both sides of a conversation because I don’t really think equality is up for debate.

Misandry exists

Hello all- this is an egalitarian blog where I try to advocate for equality, so what I want to discuss today is something that often gets overlooked, sometimes people flippantly dismiss it and say that it doesn't exist. Misandry (this will be an ongoing blog post where I'll constantly be updating it with new examples regularly) People deny that it exists, but it does. If you call out this misandry, people may label you as a misogynist. Calling out misandry doesn't make you a misogynist- both misandry and misogyny are issues worth tackling. This will be a controversial one I know, but it shouldn't be- this is just being against sexism, no matter what direction it comes from. Sexism isn't a one-way street- it happens both ways. For those who don't know what misandry is, it's being prejudiced towards or hating on men, so a misandrist is somebody who (like a misogynist) demonises a whole subset of people on the basis of their gender. And just like how us ladies

Why Men Are Turning To The Right

 In recent years, I've observed a troubling trend within progressive circles that deeply concerns me. As someone who staunchly believes in equality for all, regardless of gender, it saddens me to see many men being drawn towards right-wing ideologies. This phenomenon isn't merely a random occurrence; rather, it stems from a variety of factors that are increasingly alienating men from the progressive left.  Some so-called progressive circles are shooting themselves in the foot when it comes to men. Yeah, you heard me right—men. I'm all for equality. That's what being egalitarian means, right? But lately, I've seen a lot of progressive rhetoric that's not just about lifting women up but tearing men down. It's like some people think the only way to elevate women is by trashing men. Newsflash: that's not progress, that's just flipping the inequality script. One of the most glaring issues is the hostility directed towards men within certain segments of th

Makeup, beauty industry, and societal pressure

Hi all, I'm Christina and welcome to this blog! This is my first post that I'm going to making here and it's something of a critical post, about the societal pressures/expectations that women face, especially within the beauty industry. This is an ongoing blog post- even once I've finished and posted the first draft, I'll be constantly adding new examples if I can find them. Semantics  We live in a world where beauty standards have been ingrained into society for years, especially within the beauty/cosmetics industries, so much so that when a woman doesn’t wear makeup, it’s viewed as “brave”…simply for being barefaced.  As a woman who isn’t drawn to makeup at all and never has been, the use of the word “brave” in this context frustrates me to no end. Being bare-faced shouldn’t automatically qualify as an act of bravery, because that’s just somebody’s natural face…. I really don’t understand how somebody choosing not to add extra chemicals to their face is brave. Mos
