No More Page 3: a hindrance or a help?

Posted on 15th February 2015 by The Gryphon Web Editor

I am the first to jump on the feminist bandwagon wherever possible, but when, a few weeks ago, the Sun supposedly ‘banned’ Page 3 for a whole 24 hours, I wasn’t celebrating a victory over […]

Libby puts Church on a new Lane

Posted on 7th February 2015 by The Gryphon Web Editor

Most of us will have been aware of the upsurge in the feminist movement lately, led by celebrities such as Emma Watson supporting her ‘this is what a feminist looks like’ slogan. However, the Church […]

It’s no joke, Murdoch: Page Three has to go

Posted on 22nd January 2015 by The Gryphon Web Editor

Page Three is archaic, tasteless and has no place in a society where we supposedly champion women as the equals of men. In the words of Kevin Bacon, no-brainer. At the time of writing, The […]

The Ethical Statement

Posted on 4th December 2014 by The Gryphon Web Editor

Feminism isn’t something that should be a fashion statement. It’s an ethos that is integral to the life of all women. However, unfortunately this season it seems it has been gripped onto by designers and […]

Let’s not be too quick to dismiss Shia LaBeouf’s rape claim

Posted on 4th December 2014 by The Gryphon Web Editor

This week, actor Shia LaBeouf claimed to have been raped by a woman during his art installation, #IAMSORRY. The installation involved LaBeouf sitting in a room while members of the public were invited to sit […]

Female Masturbation: It’s a touchy subject

Posted on 28th November 2014 by The Gryphon Web Editor

It’s a Friday night. You’re sitting around a table in someone’s kitchen, drinking vodka out of a Deloitte promo mug. To disguise the uncomfortable atmosphere, you play ‘Never Have I Ever.’ It gets to one […]

A feminist faux pas: thoughts on a t-shirt debacle

Posted on 9th November 2014 by The Gryphon Web Editor

Apparently David Cameron is not what a feminist looks like, but an embarrassed activist wearing a £45 t-shirt made by women working in sweatshops earning just 62p an hour might be, according to recent reports […]

It’s FCKH8 who are the problem, not little girls who swear

Posted on 30th October 2014 by The Gryphon Web Editor

I don’t have a problem with seeing little girls swearing. Sure, it’s a bit tacky and clearly aimed at going viral through shock value. But my real objection is to what they actually say. The […]

Victoria’s Secret’s ‘The Perfect Body’ campaign shows how society encourages female body-shaming

Posted on 28th October 2014 by The Gryphon Web Editor

Looking back at my adolescence, I remember a particular episode with great clarity: seeing cellulite on my legs for the first time when I was 19 and inducing myself into a state of panic. I […]

Feminism in fashion

Posted on 10th October 2014 by The Gryphon Web Editor

Whether you love it or hate it, the F word seems to be everywhere we turn at the moment. Some of the world’s most influential women have aligned themselves with feminism. Whether it is Beyoncé […]

I love Emma Watson…but I didn’t love her UN speech

Posted on 2nd October 2014 by The Gryphon Web Editor

Emma Watson is great. I’m a fan of Harry Potter and her portrayal of  Hermione. I’m also quite keen on the whole feminism thing. But despite this, I found that I couldn’t agree with everything […]

Posted on 25th September 2014 by The Gryphon Web Editor

The Gryphon speaks to Alice Bentinck, founder of Code First: Girls, on why so few women work in technology. I first heard of Alice Bentinck when I picked up a copy of Tech City News, […]
