Dig into “Bey 4U” for everything Queen Bey including erotica (!!!), pop culture critiques (by 4U Mag’s founder, Slutist […]
Artist Mariko Passion sat on the raw wood floor during her performance held as part of LES Gallery Sensei’s group exhibition, “Milk and Night” this September. Passion talked about her life as a sex worker while opening a large can of dried milk. She scooped out handfuls of the creamy white substance, iridescent under the […]
Happy Holidaze from Slutist! Our Christmas came early this year when we found a cheeky new Christmas interview with Elvira, Mistress of our Hearts. Unfortunately, this is not an original Q+A (we wish!) but one stolen from Parade (of all places). It also happens that our New Year’s resolution is to be more Elvira-like, particularly now […]
A 14-year-old British student recently presented a speech on slut-shaming and sexual double standards which caused multiple boys in her class to walk out.

The news is out that those ever-so-hip “This Is What A Feminist Looks Like” t-shirts sported by everyone from Common to Alexa Chung were produced in a Mauritian sweatshop that pays its female workers $1 an hour.
