Women are judged for doing things. What things? ALL THE THINGS ALL THE TIME. This is not feminist sensitivity. This is a fact. Look at any tabloid headline and the way it describes the everyday tasks of any given photo subject. Still don’t believe me? Luckily, Vagenda Magazine and its readers are taking matters into their own hands to fix these flagrant acts of lady-hating (largely from The Daily Mail because THE WORST). They are doing the work of the lord and here are some of their best attempts at “normalising.”
