Women vs ‘Toxic Masculinity’

Two men, both alike in romantic idealism, in classic and contemporary literature, where sexual scenes are laid. Their names: Mr Rochester and Christian Grey.

No Victories In The Culture War

These past three years, ever since the presidential campaign of Trump really took off, we’ve been enshrined in a massive culture war. That’s me just stating the obvious. And it isn’t just a case of a few people arguing online anymore. It’s something that is weaving itself into advertising campaigns, […]
