It's Monday — Boo! But, it's also time for another installment of #MondaysWithMatt — Yeah! 

Dear anti-feminist men, 

I’m writing to you because I want to have a discussion.

"The universe is a big, dark, cold empty space — but you're not any of that. You're a light."

In the spring of 2013, I met a woman on OKCupid. She was petite, with a kind smile and a voice so soft that it could melt all your troubles away. Her shock of red curls went down to her shoulders — and because of this, and the fact that we no longer speak, let's call her Ann.

Ann was a few years older than I, wise and mature. She also, it turned out, spent her professional life beating up strangers for their sexual satisfaction.

Instead of being allowed to exist as fully complex and sexual human beings, they’re relegated to being a tag in pornography. They’re seen as a guilty pleasure among those with “abnormal” sexual appetites, something to be viewed sexually in spite of their comparison to what we consider "the norm."

We met Matt a year ago when he showed us his post weight-loss body.

This week on Mondays With Matt: Wearing a crop-top. And I have a NEW BELLYBUTTON.

I'm 23 years old, I don’t want children, and every elder who discovers this feels compelled to tell me how wrong I am about my own feelings.

This Monday, Matt talks about female comic characters. Batman? How about BatNOTSOMUCHMAN.
