Welcome back! Coming up today:

• Would you live in a world with no men? A viral street interview video seems to have created a bigger conversation, but are we really that surprised?
• Women have always been 50% of the population, yet only occupy around 5% of recorded history. We need to talk about it.

DEAR READY OR NOT: I covered her mat leave so why is she treating me like the problem now she’s back? Do I stick it out with a moody manager while trying to get pregnant and how do I stop carrying the mental load without losing my mind.

Welcome back! Coming up today:

• We’ve been thinking about Botox way more than we’d like to admit. One of us has had it, the other hasn’t, and we have plenty of conflicting thoughts.
• And then: Meet the women who lost their partners to the manosphere: that’s from Bustle and yes, we’re talking about the manosphere again.
