More people are playing D&D than ever before, but so are more types of people. Women now make up close to 40% of the D&D community. While the goal is still for that number to fully reflect the wider population, it’s a huge leap from 2012, when women made up 20–25% of players.

The fight against the recent wave of ultra-restrictive abortion bans has been strong. As I write this, more than 500 protest events are taking place in all 50 states as part of a #StoptheBans Day of Action. But as fiery and as vocal and as public as this pro-choice pushback is proving to be, there’s still a large swath of people who have trouble using a very important word: abortion.

Is it silly for me to feel so worked up over a story about a couple I’ve never met, about an argument over a food item? I don't care.

While I doubt there will ever be a shortage of things to criticize Kim Kardashian for, her desire and ability to become a lawyer shouldn’t be one of them.

When the creators of the new Handmaid’s Tale series set out to make their adaptation, they’ve said that they didn’t mean for it to hit quite so close to home for viewers. But then Donald Trump was elected and suddenly the show–and the original novel–seemed to mirror so many American political developments in a way that made the show uncomfortably timely.

We’ve been talking a lot around these parts lately about Warner Bro’s lack of promotion for the upcoming Wonder Woman movie. Go here for a refresher, but basically, by this point in a blockbuster’s production cycle, we’re being inundated with trailers, interviews, magazine covers, and cross-promotional campaigns and merchandise. While I don’t want anyone to burn out on oversaturation, I do want Wonder Woman to get the blockbuster treatment. I want it to be good, and I also want it to make boa...

As a fan of Clinton's, I wish I could justify or ignore her handling of sexual harassment within her 2008 campaign. But as a believer in what she stands for, I can't.

Ivanka Trump had a new book hit shelves this week, and for anyone who likes a terrible hate-read or some schadenfreude, you are in so much luck. The book, titled Women Who Work, was written before last year’s election, as Trump makes excessively clear in the forward. Of course, that hasn’t stopped the ethics violations from rolling in, as official State Department accounts have jumped in to help promote the book. (Once again, that’s a thing that’s very much not allowed.)

Over the last few years, Emma Watson has become almost as well known for her outspoken feminism as for her work in the Harry Potter franchise. Unfortunately, proud declarations of feminism very often lead to hordes of strangers lining up to tell a woman what they’re doing wrong and what feminism isn’t.

It’s been just over four years since the 2013 Oscars, when Anne Hathaway won the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in Les Miserables. That was also around the time that it became socially acceptable to profess a hatred of the actress. The internet was full of tear-down pieces picking apart why the whole world had taken to shouting their distaste.

There were a lot of reasons, it seemed. People claimed she tries too hard. The term “musical theatre kid” got thrown around a lot. This was...

I wouldn’t normally recommend ever watching a Fox News interview, what with all the yelling and the general lack of listening, but last week, Tucker Carlson interviewed Teen Vogue’s Lauren Duca about some tweets she made in response to/around the same time as a news story about an airline passenger reportedly (possibly falsely) accosting Ivanka Trump on a flight.

Over the last few days, you may have heard about the disturbing “sex trend” called “stealthing.” It’s been covered by outlets all over the internet, from the BBC to Fox News, Teen Vogue to Men’s Health, and for good reason. “Stealthing” is when a man surreptitiously removes or deliberately damages his condom during sex. Plain and simple, it’s sexual assault.
