I was honored to serve as the keynote speaker for the 2026 Smart Girls, Strong Women event for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bloomington, IN last week. I’m proud to have played a small part in something so special and impactful. 💜 Grateful to have met so many strong, smart, and powerful women.✨

A global “rape academy” is teaching men how to drug and assault women—and it’s being met with silence. 62 million visits in ONE month. Where is the outrage? My latest in @Newsweek! ↓ www.newsweek.com/millions-of-...

One week out from speaking at Smart Girls, Strong Women and I can’t wait! Smart girls + strong women = powerful impact! 💪

Younger patients are turning away from birth control—and doctors say social media misinformation is playing a role.

There are 62 million reasons women aren’t overreacting.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

This kind of rhetoric from Donald Trump is appalling. Talking about “a whole civilization” potentially dying while framing it as a moment of opportunity that could lead to something “wonderful” is not leadership, it’s horrifying and dangerous. This is unhinged and unacceptable.

The question is no longer whether women will continue to be placed on the edge of the cliff. The question is how much longer we’re willing to pretend we don’t see who’s doing the pushing. open.substack.com/pub/jodibond...

The manosphere is not a new phenomenon, it is simply a modern branch of a much older machine: a profit-driven patriarchy that feeds on insecurity. open.substack.com/pub/jodibond...

When political opponents become ‘enemies,’ the rules start to change. My latest piece on rhetoric, hypocrisy, and why it’s dangerous: open.substack.com/pub/jodibond...

Feminism: don't put flowers on her grave just yet. (Not my title but definitely my essay.) Nicely timed to remind us all that Harvey Weinstein is not at the Oscars (and never will be again). On how change works and what it takes to actually perceive change.

Solidarity, it turns out, is not the absence of hostility, it’s what endures despite it. My recent article ⬇️ #ThisIsNotNormal

Honored that the Chicago Tribune Opinion published my reflection on the International Women’s Day protest. What surprised me most wasn’t the protest itself, it was the hostility that surfaced around it. It left me thinking about what peaceful protest means in this moment. #thisisnotnormal

On this #InternationalWomensDay, I’m especially honored to have my voice included in the Letters to the Editor section of The Washington Post.

Honored to see my thoughts included in the Letters to the Editor section of The Washington Post. Thank you for the opportunity to contribute to the conversation and for featuring my perspective as part of the discussion. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

When women say they feel misled by political promises about health and environmental protections, the appropriate response isn’t ridicule, it’s reflection. My recent article - vshttps://open.substack.com/pub/jodibondinorgaard/p/dear-women-who-feel-misled?r=22hbbi&utm_medium=ios

Honored to see More Than A Doll on the women’s history month shelf at the Lincoln Park Barnes & Noble! Definitely in good company!

Thank you @msmagazine.com for publishing my article! ❤️💪

My recent article in @msmagazine.com!

Trump treating U.S. women's hockey team as afterthought is no laughing matter. Check out my recent article in the Chicago Sun-Times! chicago.suntimes.com/other-views/...

When Lindsey Vonn returned to compete after major injuries, the conversation wasn’t just about performance. It was about whether she should be there at all. Meanwhile, we routinely celebrate men’s “comebacks.” The hypocrisy is persistent. Patterned. Predictable. open.substack.com/pub/jodibond...

“What’s Galentine’s Day? Oh, it’s only the best day of the year.” It means celebrating the women who protect the vulnerable, defend autonomy, and stand up when silence would be easier. Solidarity is a choice. New article up today. 💕 open.substack.com/pub/jodibond...

The Epstein files were never just about one predator – they reveal an ecosystem built to protect wealth, patriarchy, reputation, and powerful men over vulnerable girls. That ecosystem is final visible. And visibility is the beginning of its collapse. open.substack.com/pub/jodibond...

Honored to be a speaker at the GPS Parent Series! Join me on Wednesday, February 11 at noon at College of DuPage or 7 PM at Glenbard West High School. I’d love to see you there!

Silence protects predators. Exposure protects survivors. The truth about the largest sex trafficking network in the world can’t be ignored. This is the message that matters on Super Bowl Sunday. #StandWithSurvivors

Interesting how we celebrate men for playing through pain… but criticize Lindsey Vonn for doing the same. That double standard is exhausting. She’s not reckless. She’s brave. And she’s a role model. 💪

4 simple ways to make a woman smile: 1. Take abuse seriously 2. Believe women 3. Hold people accountable 4. Stop telling women to smile

You can’t cherry-pick accountability. You don’t get to say “move on” from the Epstein files while still pushing false claims that the 2020 election was rigged.

National Girls & Women in Sports Day isn’t just about games. It’s about building the next generation of women leaders. #NGWSD2026 open.substack.com/pub/jodibond...

My recent article! There are no “yes, buts” here. If a system kills a nurse for shielding another person, it has forfeited the moral right to call itself a protector. open.substack.com/pub/jodibond...

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1

This!

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

One year ago today, More Than a Doll launched — and what a year it has been. From powerful conversations to meaningful impact, this journey continues to reinforce why challenging gender stereotypes matters — and we’re just getting started. 💪📖❤️

For a few hours, it was nice to care about something that brings people together instead of pulling us further apart. open.substack.com/pub/jodibond...

This is a moral issue, not a partisan one. How frightening is it that an ICE agent who shot and killed a woman who, by all visible evidence, was not presenting a lethal threat is now being financially rewarded by strangers across the country? open.substack.com/pub/jodibond...

Imagine writing ‘organized gangs of wine moms’ in a published article and thinking, yes, nailed it. Curious where martini moms and beer moms rank in the threat assessment.

Believe what you see. Believe what you hear. Refuse to normalize nonsense. I see you. I’m with you. And together, we won’t stay quiet.

Making false claims collectively instructs the public to disregard what it can plainly see. Doubt is recast as hostility. Belief becomes a loyalty test. My latest article. jodibondinorgaard.substack.com/p/when-belie...

My new piece on sonder, equality, and the myth that women flourish only when men do. open.substack.com/pub/jodibond...

Proud to share that my essay responding to the New York Times question “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” was the 4th most-read article in Ms. Magazine in 2025. Turns out a lot of people are done with patriarchy dressed up as debate. Thank you for reading, sharing, and refusing to stay in your lane.

“This is how the floor drops out — not with a single shocking act, but with repetition, minimization, and silence.” My op-ed in the @chicagotribune is gifted here: www.chicagotribune.com/2025/12/21/o...

My op-ed in the Chicago Tribune: When Silence Becomes a Green Light Cruelty doesn’t become normal all at once. It becomes normal when it’s excused, minimized, or laughed off. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/12/21/o...

My recent article in Ms. Magazine! Every book, doll and story quietly teaches children who they are expected to be and how they should treat others. msmagazine.com/2025/12/16/g...

Check out my new article!” Children need stories that build possibilities, not break them into stereotypes. They need toys that expand their sense of self, not shrink it.” open.substack.com/pub/jodibond...

I wrote this article back in May when Trump first floated the “fewer dolls” theory of inflation. Sadly, it’s relevant again. Because apparently, girls’ toys are still easier to blame than failed policies. @msmagazine.com #GenderEquity #ToysMatter msmagazine.com/2025/05/13/t...
