A recent global survey funded and endorsed by the university of Twitter on the subject of football and romantic relationships delivered inconclusive yet interesting findings. It did, however, provide a blanket bundle of both heart-warming and frustrated tales to give an insight into how the most popular spectator sport impacts on one or the other [...]

Reality TV has foisted a great number of ugly things on us – step forward, Big Brother and Jersey Shore – but it still remains the best way to journey into somebody else’s life in a totally new way. Thanks to reality TV, those of us who are a bit ‘curious’ (or nosey, as some [...]
I stumbled into a quandary in my first year of Uni. I was sharing a house with three other students – all male – who suddenly upped and left because I was so impossible to live with they had found a bigger gaff they could share with their own friends. For some reason, I found [...]

Long before most girls of the hetero-persuasion go on a date or become romantically involved, they’ve already encountered plenty of boyfriend material onscreen, from the Disney primer Prince Charming up to the modern day emo dudes in mumblecore. Hollywood and the culture at large often provide a disservice to women by asking us to swoon [...]

A note from the editors: This is the first in a new regular series of posts, All About My Mother, in which Anti-room writers reflect on the women who made them the women they are today. Some are their own biological mothers, some are not. But all are important. This month my mum turned 70. [...]

Imagine a scenario where a man chases you with declarations of love and passion, offers a bright future mapped out with parties, impromptu music gigs, red carpet movie premieres, lavish gifts, chartered flights and yachts. The sex is hot. He can’t seem to get enough of you until *blammo* he doesn’t call for a week or [...]

I waded diddies-deep into one of those conversations about sex at a party on Saturday night. You know the kind, the two-drinks-too-many kind that leaves lasting friendships in its wake. Because they know too much. By the time I rocked up they’d already gotten through the bravado part of the conversation (concerning the more exotic [...]

Choosing the title for my and Zlata Filipovic’s new short documentary Hold on Tight was difficult. Usually when I make a film, I know the name even before I’m certain what it is about; a title sort of inspires me to discover the story beyond it. For whatever reason, I really struggled to sum up [...]

The inevitable furore over Posh and Becks’s baby naming has me scratching my head. Firstly their names are Victoria and David, secondly it’s really got nothing to do with the kind of lives that most of us will ever come close to living, so therefore our opinion is nullified. If they wanted to call their [...]

So there I am, minding my own business, when I hear a familiar female voice call my name. I look up from my book, nod a cursory and polite ‘hello’ back to the woman and continue reading. I look up long enough to notice that she looks well and happy. And so the exchange ends, for [...]
