First World Feminism

What's the point of this website?

A fair question. Two quick answers:

1. Those of us lucky enough to live in the most progressive parts of the world tend to focus on how good we have it, and yet we still haven’t achieved true gender equality.

2. I’m over trying to pitch women’s magazines. If the story isn’t about slimmer thighs for summer, they’re just not interested.

This stuff is important, I’ll try not to make it too dry.

My Podcast with Parris Whittingham about Violence in Relationships

My friend and up-and-coming wedding photographer Parris Whittingham bravely agreed to do a podcast with me about his personal history of violence in relationships:

My Podcast with Parris Whittingham about Violence in Relationships

I always thought that the type of person who would bring violence into a relationship was malicious, dangerous, and disrespectful of others, but my conversation with Parris taught me that these moments of weakness can happen even to honorable people.

We discuss the factors that lead to physical violence, the nature of violence in relationships and how the experience changes those involved. I hope that Parris’s courage and honesty inspire others to share similar stories.
