Beneath all the romping and raunch, so far season two of Disney’s ‘Rivals’ has had a strong (and surprisingly emotional) focus on the feminist politics of wifehood, argues Chloe Laws.

Three teenage boys found guilty of rape have walked out of court in Hampshire without having served a minute of jail time between them. “If this isn’t a clear-as-day example of rampant misogyny being allowed to flourish in the institutions meant to protect us, I don’t know what is,” writes Claire Cohen.

“In the age of the Epstein files, and OnlyFans as one of the most popular surrogate solutions to the economic crisis, it seems to me that our valid concern for women and girls is being displaced onto… women and girls,” writes Emma Garland on the outsize controversy surrounding Olivia Rodrigo’s choice to wear babydoll dresses.

Hi Tina, I really need some advice from someone who is not connected with me or my problem. When I was 18 I left home because I was very unhappy. Not long afterwards I moved in with a man who was 7 years older than me. We lived together for 4 years and I thought […]
