A Complicated Study of Women's Productivity

Women Productivity
A study in the U.S. from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis a few years ago looked into how having a family affects women and men. As it turns out, it's really complicated than what was initially expected.

The study focuses on academic economists and finds that moms are more productive than non-moms throughout their careers. But having a kid at the wrong time — or alone — or having too many kids — can make a mother far, far less productive.

Feminists Are Confused About Women With Sexy Bodies

EmRat Bikini
The series of photos that Emily Ratajkowski posted a few years ago of herself on Instagram, wearing a red bikini on a yacht in the French Riviera, seem to be part of her campaign of defining feminism. As she states in a pinned tweet on Twitter, "women choosing when and how they want to share their sexuality and bodies."

However, for many feminists, the aggressively sexual posturing seemed explicitly for the male gaze only. The unattractive fighters of the so-called "women equality" believes that EmRat's super sexy body only reinforce the strict set of norms long-associated with the presentation of feminine identity and female sexuality rooted not in women’s empowerment, but in what men want.

"Tradwife" is Trending and Gaining More Followers

Tradwife Trend
Internet memes and Social media trends come and go, but few have had the consistently polarizing holding power of the tradwife.

The term, which has garnered significant social media traction in recent months, is shorthand for "traditional wife" and most broadly refers to a woman who practices conventional gender roles within a relationship. On TikTok and Instagram, however, the trend has manifested through popular content creators who've gained large followings by showing off their lives as homemakers, from their elaborate homemade meals to their 1950s-inspired wardrobes.

Wisconsin SC
According to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, the fact that a transgender woman can't change her legal name because she's on the sex offender registry as a male does not amount to cruel and unusual punishment, or violate her free speech rights.

The 4-3 decision last 7 July took up 81 pages in three opinions that featured some stark differences about "originalism" and adapting law to modern times, and even sharp differences about pronoun use.

Hollywood's Double Standard in Weinstein And Clinton Cases

Weinstein and Clinton
Not only was Harvey Weinstein a political ally and a major donor to Hillary and Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation, but his alleged sexual misconduct has refocused attention on Bill's own checkered past as the tide turns against powerful men who take advantage of women.

"The question is on everyone’s lips: how could we have let Weinstein’s crimes continue for so long? Yet there’s little in the Weinstein story — the years of whispers of impropriety, the past allegations by women, the intimate connection with a party that advertises itself as a defender of women — that doesn’t apply to Bill Clinton," said Jacobin’s Branko Marcetic.

Michelle Obama Questions American Women's Choice

Michelle Obama
The former first lady of the United States Michelle Obama not only questioned, but insulted women who did not cast a ballot for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. She said last 27 September in Boston that they "voted against their own voice."

What? Did she say they should vote form somebody just because she is a woman? Is that not an insult to the intelligence of every woman who voted for President Donald Trump because of the crooked way Hillary handled her official function.
