I’ve made good friends with some graduates of Barnard College (the female-only college of Columbia University) during my time in NYC. Barnard women are to feminism what NYU kids are to films & flannels. It’s part of their DNA. So when Barnard reaches out to me deeming me a “feminist-thought leader”, I realized I could … Continue reading
This marks my 100th post on Fruitloop Feminism – yay! My story today isn’t one that recaps what I’ve written to date or celebrates all the super positive feedback I’ve received from my wild and crazy fans. A recent trending article from a misogynistic corner of the internet called “Return of Kings” lit a little … Continue reading
The only thing in the entirety of pop culture that could cast a shadow on Miley Cyrus’ antics over the last few months: Kim Kardashian’s engagement ring from Kanye West. Not only is this rock humungous, he proposed at one of my favorite places of all time… AT&T Park. Yeezus really outdid himself. What’s more, … Continue reading

New York City, my former residence, is particularly interesting in this regard. Before entering the glamorous borough of Manhattan, I went to school and lived with … Continue reading
You know I love me a woman innovator. Especially one who is working tirelessly to fund girls education worldwide by utilizing a cutting edge social media strategy and creative campaigns, and all the while maintaining the most positive attitude I’ve come across. And with her latest victory being the DVF People’s Choice Award, I’d like to … Continue reading
For a special version of Feminist Follow Friday, I’ve chosen to introduce you to some of New York City’s feministas. Not only are these women brilliant, they do their work in the biggest most cut throat city in the world. If that doesn’t give you a little inspiration on a Friday, I don’t know what … Continue reading
The ever lovely and ever wise Katharine Hepburn making her statement, and even after all these years, her wisdom rings true. Happy Thursdays, feminists!
If you follow me on Twitter, you would have seen that I scoffed at this recent article on HuffingtonPost.com written by Lisa Copeland on why Katie Couric was not married. I must confess that my scoff was premature. Upon reading the entire article, Lisa hit a nerve that really got my feminist brain thinking. Let me backtrack … Continue reading
