Welcome to Curious Femme

A feminist blog examining gender, power, and the stories we are not encouraged to question

What happens when the official story no longer matches everyday experience?

Curious Femme is a feminist blog. It explores women’s rights and gender inequality. It also examines the social, political, and cultural systems that shape our lives. This space offers clear analysis and real-world examples. It provides an evidence-informed critique. It asks difficult questions about power, about silence, and about whose voices are heard.

The aim is not outrage, but understanding, and not certainty, but curiosity.


What You Will Find on Curious Femme

Feminism and Gender Analysis

Accessible but rigorous reflections on feminism, gender equality, and women’s rights. Posts examine how power operates in areas like healthcare, education, law, media, and policy.

Articles explore several topics. One topic is how gender bias appears in medical research. Another topic is how workplace “equality” policies affect women in practice. Cultural narratives about strength and resilience can also obscure harm.

Where relevant, posts link to related analysis across the blog to support deeper reading.

Hidden Social and Political Narratives

An exploration of the stories that get little attention, or are framed in ways that discourage scrutiny. These include political decisions, social trends, and cultural assumptions that are often presented as neutral, inevitable, or beyond challenge.

This section often draws on journalism, research, and lived experience. It shows how such narratives affect women’s safety. These narratives also impact women’s autonomy and opportunities.

Critical Reflections and Feminist Commentary

Analytical essays designed to encourage readers to pause and think. These pieces question accepted ideas and invite reconsideration rather than agreement.

Readers are often prompted to reflect on questions such as:

  • Who benefits from this narrative?
  • What voices are missing?
  • What evidence supports, or challenges, this claim?

Links to further reading and related posts are included where appropriate.


Why Anonymity?

The voice behind Curious Femme remains anonymous because this blog prioritises ideas over identity. Anonymity creates space for honest critique without the constraints of personal branding, professional consequence, or preconceived judgement.

The focus remains on argument, evidence, and reflection, not the author.
