The bloody news
Debbie, youre hired.
Good thing they have no idea shes the worst.
Thats what she said: Do you wish you could unlearn about sexism?
Heres this weeks… enjoy!
Theres no way we would ever want to turn back time, right?
Anouk: Im definitely more aware of it now and overall, thats a good thing.
But I do get the sentiment behind this question, it can be exhausting at times.
Everyday sexism is like a gun pointed at you that may or may not have been loaded.
You kind of suspect theres a bullet in there somewhere, but most times you cant be completely sure.
Maybe this happened because youre a woman.
Maybe that didnt happen because youre a woman.
Or maybe your gender had nothing to do with it.
Ive been called politically overcharged and too woke.
It can sometimes feel that simply flagging sexist things doesnt do anything other than pointing something out.
But we must challenge ideas of what is normal and acceptable.
In some ways, it was like I could finally breathe, and I wasnt being gaslighted any longer.
<3 Are we all wrong?

The ability to move quickly and easily but with vaginas2.
The ability of a woman able to kill all men3.
Tell us as female journalists we love hate mail.
