Feminism has always been a divisive concept.

During the suffragette movement, plenty of women turned their backs on their fighting comrades. In fact, there was even a Women’s National Anti-Suffrage League, set up by women who opposed women being granted a vote in British parliamentary elections.

And since then, plenty have moved away from the ‘burning bras’ feminist stereotype dished out during the ’70s.

But according to a recent report by the Fawcett Society, only 9% of British women actively describe themselves as a feminist.

Oh, mums. They have the best of intentions, but sometimes they get it a bit wrong.

And that is why they’re brilliant.

When 18-year-old Katie’s mum is out shopping, she’ll occasionally bring back clothes she thinks Katie will like. A classic mum move.

This glamorous grandma is all the life inspiration you need

Usually this is just a sweet, mum-type gesture. But this week, Katie’s mum got it a bit wrong.

She spotted a nice Vivienne Westwood t-shirt she thought Katie would like, and brought it home without looking at it too closely.

When she gave the t-shirt to Katie, Katie looked a… Read the full story

When you go on the trip of a lifetime, you don’t expect to be returning from it with a shattered pelvis and broken spine.

Halloween costumes in the 1920s were genuinely terrifying

And although your mum might have warned you against skydiving and other extreme sports, you probably won’t have taken her seriously.

Emma Carey, 23, from Queensland, Australia, had just started a three month trip around Europe when she went skydiving in Switzerland.

It was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime – hence the jumping out of a plane over the Swiss Alps.

Instead, the unthinkable happened

The world of fashion is still shockingly lacking in diversity.

Even brands specifically designed for people who don’t fit the fashion stereotype – tall, white, slim – often fail to measure up in terms of inclusivity, frequently only using models that fit a restricted view of beauty – whether it’s hourglass figures in plus-size campaigns, or only using models with lighter skin tones.

One blogger wants to do things differently.

A week after an American university decided to introduce a course teaching male feminism, schools in Australia are trialing a new education programme designed to teach kids about privilege.

The Respectful Relationships curriculum is being tested in Victoria and will be rolled out across the state’s public schools over the next two years.

The aim?

To tackle the ‘epidemic’ of domestic violence via lessons about ‘social inequality, gender-based violence and male privilege’.

We all like to spend money. 

But the sad reality is that many of us like to spend it when we don’t have it.

We all know that feeling of elation we get when buying something new.

But that feeling almost always followed by a feeling of dread when it comes to how much of our paycheck we actually have left for essentials such as food and bills.

And sometimes ‘I just won’t eat for the month’ just won’t cut it.

We all remember the brilliant tales of Mr Bump, Mr Tickle and Mr Strong – how can we not? Mr Men is one of the greatest children’s series known to man. 

And so it’s always great when the children of today embark upon these tales also.

What we weren’t betting on, however, is another series to be created by said children of today. But one young man has taken it upon himself to do just that – starting with the creation of a whole new load of Mr Men.

You’d think that Weight Watchers would be adept at marketing their services with sensitivity.

Not according to their latest publicity stunt which seems to have backfired.

Lots of creatures love the taste of chickens so they’re always at risk. They’re just too damn tasty.

Halloween costumes in the 1920s were genuinely terrifying

But one farm has got its own chicken protector: three year old Percival the peacock.

Queensland farmer Mark Burgunder has enlisted Percy’s help to watch over his free-range ‘pasture’ poultry.

But he’s not just there to stop them being eaten – he’s also quite fond of hanging out with them.

‘It didn’t take long for the chickens to realise that he was no danger at all,’… Read the full story

But what if it’s a problem that can’t be solved with a big hug and a plaster?

For the mother of a daughter with a rare skin condition, the only thing she could do to make her child feel better was to get a tattoo imitating her affliction.

Kory Poxton, 25, from Sprotbrough, South Yorkshire, got her thigh inked to match the pattern of her daughter’s skin.
