Anne Hathaway, an actress that people loooove to have strong opinions about, is on the November cover of Elle UK, wearing a very chill suit and looking suave as hell.

Study: Being Denied Abortions Tethers Women to Abusive Men
There are countless reasons why limiting women's access to safe and legal abortions is anything but "pro-life."

Colleges Rarely Expel Students Found Responsible for Sexual Assault
By now, it's well established that colleges are pretty deplorable at responding to and adjudicating sexual assault cases.

Marvel Cancels Artist's Upcoming Covers After Spider-Woman Butt Fiasco
The comic book industry is not particularly well-known for portraying women in a non- insanely-sexualized manner (you can't fight crime without a boob window, as we have all observed over the years). Even given that, a recent Spider-Woman cover somehow managed to slink under the world's already-low expectations with…
Fraternities Announce Plan to Train Members to Help Stop Assault
For many people, the word "frat" conjures to mind several horrible images: racist theme parties, hellish bodily fluid-themed hazing activities, rapey events and emails that blatantly encourage sexual predation, etc. Eight college fraternities are hoping to change that: on Tuesday, they announced new training to combat…

Rick Perry Uses Joan Rivers' Death to Justify Awful Texas Abortion Law

Tufts Students Nominate Sexual Assault Activist for Honorary Degree
The human cost of college administrations' negligence and ineptitude when it comes to handling rape allegations is monstrously high.
