  • When the term “mansplaining” pops up, Rebecca Solnit instantly comes to mind. Her essays are darkly funny, and amazingly powerful. I am blessed to know many feminist men, and am proud to be married to a man wearing a #heforshe tshirt at this very moment, but I have also sat with my right eyebrow cocked…

  • You know the old joke “how can you tell who is a marathoner/CrossFitter/vegan/new mom? Don’t worry, she’ll tell you”? It gets chuckles and eye rolls and sometimes a nod of acknowledgement. Why? Because there is no shame/stigma/humiliation attached to being a marathoner/CrossFitter/vegan/new mom. These are things everyone feels comfortable sharing, and whether we appreciate the…

Right about now, many of us a quickly scrolling past gym appointments that we meticulously logged on January 1st. Skittles are creeping back into the pantry. We…
