Tis the Season for Feminism!

Tis the Season for feminism! That's right, you can have your holidays and your feminism too! Christmas time has a way of making us feel like we are in a time warp...bending our ways back to those of the 1950's where women were expected to arrange all things festive while men enjoy utter chill. So today we talk about our personal views of the holidays and how we like to enjoy them, our favorite Christmas music and movies that might have sexist undertones or reinforce gender stereotypes, as well as fun ways to incorporate feminism into this holiday season. Searching for feminist presents? We've got that list for Santa! Plus, we gift you a little history lesson on some festive holiday traditions that have surprising feminist origin stories. And our fave wave is all about supporting the girls, and by girls we mean boobs and women's' health. Happy Holidays #ladywave!

Anything you can do, I can do bleeding.

Today we tackle the taboo topic of menstruation. That's right! We are talking about periods and all their bloody glory. Society has a long standing history of attaching shame to so many facets of a woman's life, so let's go ahead and take your monthly business off the table or spreadsheet (We are talking to you Missouri!) To do just that, we enter the realm of overshare by opening up about our personal struggles with our cycles, our favorite lady products, and our go-to euphemisms for being on the rag. We also delve into a brief history of feminine hygiene products, the ridiculousness of the pink and luxury taxes affecting all women, the global issue of period poverty, and how you can help! Plus, our Fave Wave sticks it to a man who clearly knows nothing about the needs of teenage girls in school. Periods... they're all natural baby, so let's chat it out! What's your period story? #ladywave
