With the Queen of England for a sibling, Princess Margaret once said she was always, inevitably, going to be seen as the “evil sister” . That for as long as Elizabeth II stood for honour and goodness, she’d stand for the opposite.

The Vegan Diet Bloggers Who Think Periods Are ‘Not Natural’
“If it’s so unhealthy for me to go through a period of not having my period, then why did I feel so amazing?”
In a YouTube video called “How I lost my period on a RAW VEGAN Diet,” vlogger Freelee the Banana Girl tells her 700,000 followers about something occasionally experienced by women who’ve made a big change to their eating habits: the disappearance of her period.

It’s time women stopped putting up with toilet queues
Ever spent more time in a bar’s toilet queue than at the actual bar?
If you’re a woman, the answer is quite probably yes.
The primary reasoning behind this is that we take longer to do the deed – because of having to open and shut the doors of a cubicle, taking down trousers, the period-based fiasco we have to go through a quarter of the time – and so we suffer the consequences.
But us ‘taking longer’ shouldn’t matter – at the end of the day, toilet facilities are failing to provide for our needs, and we’re all left waiting.
