Yah Lah But

We speak to BiogirlMJ, one half of the duo behind the viral facebook page “Just Keep Thinking”, which has amassed more than 80,000 followers and tons of viral videos in a very short time. She makes videos about Singapore nature featuring stuff and places you wouldn’t believe exist in our country. So we ask her everything we’ve tried to understand, especially the recent current affairs in the world of wild boars and forests.

On Feb 21, Pastor Joanne Chow published a post on the instagram account of @Thir.st, a local Christian publication, asking women not to dress in a revealing or provocative manner, so as not to incite lustful thoughts from men.

So why did AWARE just put out a statement responding to...his statement? Over in the US, the Mandalorian’s Gina Carano claims she was bullied by Disney, after they dropped her for her social media posts. Is that fair?
