Who is Ms. An Đào?

Ms. An Đào is my part-time identity as a feminist firebrand, recovering chill girl, and your new favorite conversation piece.

With a master’s in public policy and a side hustle in eviscerating patriarchal BS, my Substack is where raw vulnerability meets cultural grenades. Expect essays that dissect why "mid men" thrive, why your Instagram addiction isn’t just a habit, and how to reclaim your inner bitches. Think Sex and the City meets Riot Grrrl, served with a dirty slutty chai and a side of scream matches.

If you subscribe to my blog, you’ll get either a kiss on the forehead or publication archives, or both—I’ll be the judge of that (and yes, you’ll see that I judge a lot).

Disclaimer

If you are my employer, I am glad you’re here.

If you are my students, do not mention that you’ve read my work until after graduation.

If you are none of the above, thank you for reading.

If you are new, welcome to the pack.

Scribbles is a no-holds-barred zone. The views expressed here are my own—spicy, unfiltered, and (mostly) occasionally NSFW. Contains strong language, adult themes, and sometimes more audacity than any man will ever have. Proceed with an open mind (and maybe a therapist on speed dial).

But on a real note, there are subjects like EDs, mental health, and other sensitive topics that you might not want to expose yourself to. If this is not your thing, I totally get it. If it is, you, again, need some therapy.

Thanks for being here :) I appreciate you so much :)
