We look at the way women are treated (in the media, in the justice system, in the culture) and how narratives get twisted or taken over altogether; we revisit the idea of utopias, redefine sluttiness and discuss sex and intimacy in fascist times. Thankfully, we also swim in the Mediterranean, drink martinis and nourish ourselves with so-called blood porridge. We consider freedom (of thought and of personhood) and the domino effect of singular moments and impromptu decisions. We look at genetic engineering in the era of techbros, the myths of adulthood and the correct way to make hummus (according to any hardcore Lebanese grandma). We talk about so-called \"women of ill repute\" with Amanda Knox, and go down a transcendental meditation rabbit hole with writer Nina St. Pierre. Crucially, we also embrace the power of imagination with author Soraya Chemaly, who shares a feminist manifesto that rages against the male supremacy that shapes our world order (her words also grace our cover, with art by Sophie Douala). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis issue also features words and work by Tina Berning, Davvon Branker, Veronica Chambers, Sophie Douala, Melissa Febos, Hannah Felt Garner, Jillian Guyette, Kimberly Harrington, Victoria Hely-Hutchinson, Amanda Hess, Hillary Kelly, Amanda Knox, R.O.
