On being a sexual poltergeist

by Tiffany Kagure Mugo 19 October 202120 October 2021

We doing this or what?: The rise of access to sex and the sexual desire of women

by Tiffany Kagure Mugo 5 March 2018

We live in a world of hook-up apps, kink and sex positivity, where everything from apps to social media allow us to have access to sexual knowledge and ideas. Despite this unprecendented access are women allowed to get it the way they want to? I have had some friends who are newly entering the dating […]

From Hitler to Zuma to Trump: We are simply bad at democracy

by Tiffany Kagure Mugo 15 November 201615 November 2016

“The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.” This is supposedly a quote from Winston Churchill. Whether it is a real quote or simply a quote birthed from the internet, the statement holds true. When it comes to mass governance the sad truth is that humanity is kind of bad […]

by Tiffany Kagure Mugo 8 August 2016

Women’s month is here and a whole host of entities from TV shows to tires are about to slide into our lives like a greasy Tweep sliding into the DMs. As women we are about to be told a whole host of messages from ‘be a strong woman’ to ‘this is your month’ and suddenly […]

Should women simply put down a towel during their period and have sex?

by Tiffany Kagure Mugo 22 June 201628 June 2016

Full disclosure: My period has been whack in 2016. It’s been a gauge for stress levels, fitness and how much I’m liking what is happening on the news. Basically it’s been a mess. Further full disclosure: During a particularly stressful work time I had my period for three weeks. Let that sink in. Three weeks. […]

Social media has made us lonelier and more neurotic than ever before

by Tiffany Kagure Mugo 19 April 201629 April 2016

I am guilty of posting some of those “Look at my life” statuses, the “I am so witty” tweet and the occasional “My food is calorific” Instagram post. But frivolousness aside, why is it that we live in a world where we’re more likely to put up a Facebook status about self-harm than actually talk […]

Do you need to own a vagina to write the manual for it?

by Tiffany Kagure Mugo 14 April 201614 April 2016

I am in my late twenties which means a number of things. The first, an increase in pregnancies. The second, an increase in sexual awareness among female friends and family. The third is doing squats before it’s too late and my hind quarters can no longer be saved. Bar the last one this list involves […]

Hostile response to #ForBlackGirlsOnly shows why we need it

by Tiffany Kagure Mugo 28 January 20168 February 2016

With all the racial tension brewing over the past few months it’s no surprise that an event called #ForBlackGirlsOnly has caused a stir. Many think the event counters nation-building in a time when people are losing their jobs over racial slurs, and the amount of melanin you have can trigger an online shouting match. This […]

Blacks ‘portraying’ victimhood: Gwen Ngwenya’s tall (reckless) ask of a nation

by Tiffany Kagure Mugo 11 January 201611 January 2016

Unfortunately I am about to do something that I’m not often a fan of doing, namely engage in debate on the internet. One thing I’ve learned about the online space is that it is where people often come to take a mental dump due to its accessibility. God bless us all if Twitter decides to […]

Fighting terror is like fighting vapour because it doesn’t have a home address

by Tiffany Kagure Mugo 30 November 2015

We are living in a world where the phrase one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter has never been more pertinent. It would seem that the idea of terror is no longer one that exists in some far-off land, happening to far-off people. It has become a reality that one minute you’re sitting having […]
