FOR THE W, SELF-CARE

Working During Menopause

Millions of women are working during menopause, but US law isn’t clear on employees’ rights or employers’ obligations. While she was interviewing Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler in March 2023, Drew Barrymore suddenly exclaimed: “I’m so hot … I think I’m having my first hot flash!” She took off her blazer and fanned herself dramatically. While most hot flashes aren’t televised, the entertainer’s experience was far from unique. Barrymore, age 48, is one of approximately 15 million U.S. women from 45 to 60 who work full time and may experience menopausal symptoms. Unlike Barrymore, most women are silent about their menopausal symptoms. Yet their symptoms, even when concealed from employers and co-workers, are a burden on them, their workplaces and on the overall U.S. economy. Lost work p...

Helping Parents Clear Arrest Warrants — Access To Child Care Could Be The Key

PONTIAC, Michigan — Cierra walked into the Bowens Senior Center with trepidation, but also hope. The promotional flier that brought the mother of three to this community center a few miles outside of Detroit offered to help people eliminate any active warrants for their arrest — people like her, who had a warrant for a years-old traffic violation. But something else on the flier also caught her attention: Along with promising no arrests, it highlighted that child care would be provided. So Cierra brought her 4-year-old daughter and dropped her off with a volunteer at a multi-colored bounce house just a few feet from the makeshift courtroom inside. A handful of local attorneys and judges who volunteered their Saturday to help process cases waited behind the doors. “The child care is why ...

ATTRACTION

An Ode To Friendship!

What is friendship? Well, friendship is too vast a concept or a relationship for a clear-cut definition. In fact, it always remains better-off undefined, and even unfathomable. For practical purposes though, friendships are based on mutual likes, mutual respect, mutual love and a whole limitless world of mutuality. Some friends are made instantly, on the first exchange of mutual likes or in line with that saying 'love at first sight' being replaced with 'friendship at first sight', while some others take time to bloom into a perfect relationship. It is not necessary to have everything in common to be friends: friends can have diametrically opposite interests or even ideologies or passions or professions and yet be the best of friends. Mind you, like marriages friends are not made in heaven...

RELATIONSHIPS

With No Strings Attached Relationships

No stringed attached relationship is about casual relationships with no commitment. Friends with benefits never work. A no stringed attached relationship is about sex, not friendship. In fact, as long as you're single, you're allowed to date anybody other than your hookup friends. If you start investing energy with someone at one point in your life will befuddle the lines of your relationship. The relationship is just plain sex and that's it, so keep it that way. So as to remain unattached, you have to keep things on a need-to-know premise. Try not to talk about your days, contemplation, inclinations, or any personal subtleties of your lives. After you're finished with the deed, don't stay nearby. There are no sleepovers here. He just needs to fulfill you physically, not inwardly, so keep...

This is an urgent message to any woman who uses online dating sites.

Contrasting Sharply With Everyone Else — Most Super Rich Couples Have Stay-At-Home Wives And Bread-Winning Husbands

Most super rich couples have bread-winning husbands and stay-at-home wives, contrasting sharply with everyone else. The Research Brief is a short take about interesting academic work. The big idea Men are the sole breadwinners in over half of super rich heterosexual couples – defined as those in the top 1% of households – while the women are not employed, according to our new peer-reviewed study. That’s twice the rate of less affluent heterosexual couples. Our finding is based on 30 years of data, from 1989 to 2019, from the Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances. We examined how couples divide work, focusing on three different wealthy groups – the super rich, the just plain rich and the upper middle class, as defined by their wealth percentile, and compared them with those of le...

Aristotle’s Three lessons On Friendship

Three lessons from Aristotle on friendship. While most love songs are inspired by the joys and heartaches of romantic relationships, love between friends can be just as intense and complicated. Many people struggle to make and maintain friendships, and a falling-out with a close friend can be as painful as a breakup with a partner. Despite these potential pitfalls, human beings have always prized friendship. As the 4th century B.C.E. philosopher Aristotle wrote: “no one would choose to live without friends,” even if they could have all other good things instead. Aristotle is mostly known for his influence on science, politics and aesthetics; he is less well known for his writing on friendship. I am a scholar of ancient Greek philosophy, and when I cover this material with my undergraduates...
