Given that I am 24, single, and living in a city where attractive and charming men abound, my romantic life has the potential to be quite exciting.

As a recent resident of Manhattan, I am already shocked and irritated by the amount of creepers there are in this city. An ex-boyfriend of mine who lives in the city recently harassed me so much that I finally agreed to go to coffee with him to shoot the breeze — unfortunately, his new wife [...]

The trademark of FEMEN, a troop of Ukrainian feminist activists, is the fact that they like to protest while topless.
