Posted 3:44am Monday 15th August 2011 by Phoebe Harrop

Kronic is just one of a number of cannabis-like legal highs available (until recently) for purchase in Dunedin and around New Zealand, and has in recent weeks been the subject of a veritable media storm. Hype about Kronic, especially its naughty, phenazepam-laced (and consequentially recalled) Read more...

WEARING THE PANTS

Posted 3:30am Monday 15th August 2011 by Siobhan Downes

Consider these three words: ‘Equal Employment Opportunities’. What comes to mind? Probably imagery from the feminist movement, hordes of angry, high-heel clad power-women protesting their way up the male-dominated corporate ladder in the name of gender equality. But what happens when the shoe is on Read more...

Sexism, Something for Everyone

Posted 3:27am Monday 15th August 2011 by Reuben Black

Brutal, oppressive, domineering, selfish and gleefully misogynist. The stereotypical (heterosexual) modern man is staunch in manner and cold at heart. His animalistic sex drive is only matched by his pulsating lust for sport and violence. His pastimes include gazing, groping and the general Read more...

Ode to the Vagina

A Man’s View on Women’s Liberation As a man writing an article on women’s liberation, there is a lot of room to get into Alasdair Thompson-style trouble. I am a twenty something, straight, white male. While I have on occasion dated women, dressed as a woman, and spent many hours Read more...

Madonna in a Corset

Posted 12:14am Tuesday 9th August 2011 by Charlotte Greenfield

Charlotte Greenfield explores the strained dichotomy between the sexualisation of women, and the judgement of women’s sexuality. It starts early. A marketing exercise in the US analysed language used in advertising aimed at children. Boys got words such as “battle”, Read more...

Not only one Wright track

A while ago, Commissioner for the Environment Jan Wright was in town, and without really knowing exactly what her job entailed, I seized upon the opportunity to interview someone from the real world, outside of OUSA. It emerged that Jan Wright was appointed as Commissioner for the Environment Read more...

DICKS OUT FOR THE GIRLS

Posted 12:04am Tuesday 9th August 2011 by Siobhan Downes

Innocent-minded Siobhan Downes experiences the genre of ‘female porn’ - pornography made especially for women. It was the worst timing. When I set out to become a connoisseur of female porn, I was actually snowed in at my parents’ house. Thus the initial stages of my research were, Read more...

Out on the town

Posted 4:33am Thursday 4th August 2011 by Charlotte Greenfield

One happening Saturday, Critic decided to brave a suitably cold winter’s night in order to find out whether Dunedin can justify its urban identity with sufficiently sordid nightlife. Much to everyone’s surprise, it can. We may have no White House or Mermaid, but what we found was more than enough to Read more...

Between the Sheets

Posted 4:27am Thursday 4th August 2011 by Siobhan Downes

Or, like, on the d-floor at Monkey Bar, on a bike, or in the celebrity squares of Central Library. Critic goes Cosmo and talks to six students about the world’s favourite pastime. Emily I wanted it. But I was also real scared. What happens if I get cum in my eye, or if it smells down Read more...

Into the Wild

Posted 4:22am Thursday 4th August 2011 by Mrs John Wilmot

Mrs John Wilmot ventures outdoors, and rates locations for their al-fresco sex appeal. I have nothing against basic insertive vaginal, anal or oral intercourse. In fact, I happen to be somewhat, and by “somewhat” I mean “extremely and borderline obsessively”, Read more...
