Wow (Trigger Warning for eating disorders) →
Note: The Wolverine does not approve of body-shaming slurs directed at Nordin. There is nothing wrong with the way her body looks or what she chooses to do with it. The issue here is the extreme insensitivity and lack of understanding she demonstrates toward people with eating disorders, and the endless body-shaming that she engages in in the process.

Happy Halloween, Wolverines
Women’s Studies Wolverine loves Halloween and loves to get hir drink on, so here’s a magical punch recipe that brave wolverines might want to try at your own monster mashes, which of course are women’s studies-themed and full of revelers dressed as Michel Foucault, and the Cult of Domesticity, and the Male Gaze, and Mobile Polymorphous Techniques of Power (i.e. shoggoths).

Real Talk
Anyone invested in feminism, women’s issues and equality, or social justice on the whole should read this post at Tiger Beatdown.

Do it, wolverines. It’s a new school year, and a new semester full of gender studies gems like feminist critiques of My Little Pony and feelings talks about just how terribly difficult it is to be a cis female feminist who shaves her legs and wears pantyhose.
