Clearly, there is a significant population of male predators. So how do we think about the inherent goodness or badness of men — specifically in regards to their relationships with women — without being reductive or reactionary? Data helps.

This means there’s an entire workday’s worth of hours each week where employees feel that they aren’t able to perform their jobs as productively....

Only a crazy person would have a picnic on a highway but that’s sometimes how it feels like when you’re building a life, a family – the thought that an 18-wheeler of depression is going to crush it all to smithereens. I was always an anxious kid, nervous that I would do anything wrong. I’ve been an anxious student, employee and spouse, overcome by a constant fear of saying or doing something wrong....

According to ABC News, the Transportation Department sent a notice to airlines urging them to change a policy that would make travel for parents far simpler. The department asked that the carriers “do everything that they can to ensure the ability of a young child” to sit next to an older family member. Specifically, they requested that kids 13 years old and under be seated with their parents during the flight whenever possible....

The council creation is a massive signal that federal policy could come to help girls across the country. The Trump administration had dismantled a similar Obama-era council and also rolled back Title IX, another Obama administration guidance that litigated gender equity and sexual violence on campuses across the country. There are also nearly 50 anti-trans kid bills in state-houses across the country. A focus on the rights of women and girls (cis and transgender alike) is much needed....

For those who are eligible, the earlier signing bodes well for earlier distribution of the third round of economic stimulus, the much-discussed $1,400 checks....

And despite a trend of childcare products ranging from dining wear to car seat accessories and bath toys being specifically engineered to be BPA free, BPA is everywhere.

Even trace amounts of BPA can be a problem, because of the way they interact with the body’s normal production of hormones....

Getting a flu shot in no way causes anyone to contract the flu, although some patients do have mild reactions to the vaccine that they erroneously equate to having the illness. And the shot is far from useless, as it’s the most proven method to protecting against the virus. How does it work? Every year, scientists from a variety of labs run by the World Health Organization select the flue shot’s ingredients by taking virus samples from labs across the world and mixing and matching them until they have four....

As part of the American Rescue Plan, the Child Tax Credit (CTC) ensured payments of up to $300 per month per child for low- and middle-class families.

According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, roughly 4.1 million children were lifted out of poverty due to the CTC monthly payments....

The Monzi comes from Belgium balance-bike specialists, Chillafish (they also make a sick BMXie for 2-year-olds, by the way).

However, this newest change indicates that the country may be open to once again altering its population control methods to allow parents to have more kids. After seeing its population nearly double in two decades, China chose to implement a one-child policy for families in 1980....
