Indian Summers is so good! Cancelled after two seasons though. :(

'But it makes you feel alive. I should know. I do it a lot.'

That's Willow, not Jaden.

In Australia, male strip shows (at parties) are 15-20mins and are comedy routines more than anything. The performers are paid around $200-$300 per show. Female shows are 15-30mins depending on explicitness, and they're paid $250-$450. Some clients add tips on top, just because.

Clem Ford is indeed a most excellent feminist writer who is very well known here in Australia. It's pretty awesome to see her commenting here!

I was a freaky little kid (and I still get a raised heartbeat whenever the…

'Since when is it offensive to refer to a female as a "female?" It's better than "bitch," "whore," or "hey you."'

We have a massively racist history, yes. As a population we are still deeply racist, and our treatment of our indigenous people, to this day, is a disgusting blight on our country. But it's true nonetheless that - indigenous communities aside (and I know how awful that sounds, but I'm boiling things down to the…

In my high school friendship group our ethnic backgrounds were as follows: white Australian x2, Filipino x2, Lebanese, Turkish, Maltese, Sri Lankan, Chilean.
