6. I love how chivalrous you are with your grandmother.

They may say that they are to seem cool, aloof or non-needy, but in truth, sex for most women is an emotional act.

News of the Islamic State’s egregious treatment of girls and women in Syria and Iraq has sent waves of horror across the globe. Stories from girls in captured communities, now living in sex servitude, have been leaked to reporters.

Let me explain.

Ultimately a backlash to the media driven “skinny” obsessed culture that became fashionable in the 60’s and that continues to reign over society and govern lives today, fat feminism’s ultimate message is that women can be healthy and happy at any size.

I remember shuffling in front of what seemed to be a never ending row of ferocious paparazzi photographers who were all calling out my name as if I should recognize who they were as well.

An absurd little skit of 21st Century domestic chaos Dandy and Lion are asleep in bed. Dandy wakes suddenly and sits up. She turns to Lion who’s head is buried under a small blanket. She watches him sleep.

There’s much to be said for family orientated fellas, and men who are good sons to their moms will likely be just as devoted to his special someone.

Let me just talk to a human being!

One of the more positive aspects of living in LA is the dog culture. Dogs are everywhere!

As a teenager, I had a clear image of being a mom by 27.

After working with Tom Cruise, a Hollywood dialect coach (whose name I won’t reveal) once described him to me as being “emotionally frozen in time” at the age he was catapulted to stardom — around 21. Is that what happens to all these young mortals who are inflated to god-like status?

Do they bring multiple suitors home during the week? And if so, do they or their saucy one night stand scream like a banshee in the throes of it?

The feminist in me says I should know better!

It seemed that as far as blogging and online journalism platforms were concerned, content fell into two separate camps: an intellectual “feminist” publication would have the (unfair) isolating stigma of hairy underarms and macho rage, or a more “feminine”, “girly” publication would inhabit the rather vacuous world of beauty products and relationship advise.

It’s often said that the heart of Los Angeles is only experienced when introduced to by a local.

Without giving the ending away to those who haven’t seen it, in Maleficent we learn that it is women who bring about world peace.

FINALLY we’re allowed to speak.
