A Feminist Christmas Wishlist
2016 was an abomination. Feminist presents won't fix it, but they'll sure ease the pain...
Being gifted a collection of essays mightn't feel like the height of festive glamour, but Gay's Bad Feminist speaks to the soul, tickles the ribs and heaves away the burden of feeling like The Worst Feminist On Earth. Which'll come in handy for next year, we think.
Nothing says Merry Christmas better than iron-on patches emblazoned with 'Don't fucking talk to me' and 'pissflaps'. Plus, they're made by a rad Glaswegian crafter, so you get extra points for shopping local. Schwwwing.
...Speaking of shopping local, we're also pretty taken with She is Fierce, Hannah Taylor's brand new feminist magazine for young women, launched right here in Scotland. After a soft launch earlier this year, ISSUE UNO: Wonderland is out now, with a limited selection of 'treasures' for those who act fast.
So you've already bought your feminist BFF a vibrator (STFU, it's a rite of passage). Now what? We'll lay this one out straight: OMGYES is an online resource dedicated to female masturbation. Think the Karma Sutra, except with less men and more, er, interactive tutorials. Takes a little adjusting to, sure (it's hella HD), but well worth the dollar.
A Donation to Planned Parenthood in their name
Or, failing that, Mike Pence's. Shrug.
A brilliant feminist needs brilliant comedy. Enter Broad City – an Comedy Central series featuring two tremendously hilarious and empowered New Yorkers owning and ballsing up their lives intermittently. Buy it for yourself, too. You deserve it.
