Feministing's original design

Happy 12th Birthday To Us!

Feministing is turning 12 today! We’re old in internet years, even older than Twitter. But hey we’re just starting middle school and haven’t even started our teens yet, we’ve got so much rabble rousing left to do.

A Round Up of the States Concerned with “Sincerely Held Religious Beliefs”

Well. It’s been an active few weeks in terms of rolling back LGBT rights and sanctioning discrimination. North Carolina, Mississippi, Tennessee — it seems like every day there’s a new state.

Missouri State Representative is an Embryo Vigilante

Surprise, surprise. Missouri’s state representatives are coming for our rights—again. This time, the threat comes in the form of an ultra-archaic resolution pushed forward by Republican Missouri Rep.

It’s Equal Pay Day for cisgender white women

April 12 is officially Equal Pay Day, which we “celebrate” (all the scare quotes) women as a group finally catching up to what men as a group earned in the previous year (technically the precise date for 2016 is April 8).

Pakistani Students Protest Period Stigma in This Public Art Installation

Earlier, we wrote about several super-cool American and Indian campaigns that helped make 2016 the “year of the period” — including Happy to Bleed and Pads Against Sexism, in which university students lined their campuses with pads. Well, wombs continue shedding their lining — and feminists continue urging society to shed its stigmas — in 2016.
