Egg freezing is rarely about women postponing fertility for the sake of their careers. Rather, the most-educated women are increasingly forced to delay childbearing because they face a mating gap—a lack of eligible, educated, equal partners ready for marriage and parenthood. For these women, egg freezing is a reproductive backstop, a technological attempt to bridge the gap while waiting for the right partner. Their stories reveal the extent to which it is logistically complicated, physically taxing, financially demanding, emotionally draining, and uncertain in its effects.

Imagino este ensayo como un combate. Quisiera escribir un ensayo-enojo, un ensayo-rabia. Que fuera recibido como una avalancha de golpes. Entre una frase y otra, habrá que visualizar energía desplegándose. Habrá que ver los músculos de mis muslos contrayéndose, mi centro de gravedad descendiendo y mis puños en posición de guardia. Habrá que entender por qué me esfuerzo por mantener mis hombros relajados y mis reflejos alertas, imaginar con precisión un codo que baja levemente, unas caderas que giran.

Fin dalla sua comparsa, la specie umana è drasticamente divisa in due – assecondando nel corso dei millenni falsi pretesti e credenze religiose, linguistiche, culturali e sociali. Da una parte ci sono gli uomini: corpi forti e resistenti, eroi e divinità a cui asservirsi. Dall’altra le donne: corpi deboli e fragili, ancelle destinate a servire. Questa logica primitiva è finita per essere assunta come legge trascendente attribuendo alla natura e a Dio la responsabilità di ciò che invece è stato un mero progetto umano al maschile.

Their preferences for moving vs talking may explain the difference between happiness and break ups, work mysteries, and academic behavior. You will want to know at least these seven differences today!

In The Silver Women, Joan Flores-Villalobos argues that Black West Indian women made the Panama Canal construction possible by providing the indispensable everyday labor of social reproduction. West Indian women built a provisioning economy that fed, housed, and cared for the segregated Black West Indian labor force, in effect subsidizing the construction effort and the racial calculus that separated pay in silver for Black workers and gold for white Americans.

Occult Feminism: The Secret History of Women's Liberation dives deep into the occult roots of the movement, detailing the lives of some of its most prominent figures and the esoteric beliefs that inspired and motivated them.

Unsere gesamte Kulturgeschichte ist durchdrungen von Darstellungen idealtypischer Paarbeziehungen, die – direkt oder unterschwellig – eine weibliche Unterlegenheit inszenieren. Es sind Bilder, die suggerieren, dass die Frau nur durch Unterwerfung romantische Erfüllung erlangen kann. Diese gesellschaftliche Konditionierung impft Frauen und Männern die Überzeugung ein, dass Männern alles zusteht, während von Frauen Selbstlosigkeit und Hingabe erwartet werden. Durch das erzwungene Leugnen eigener Interessen, Bedürfnisse und Wünsche wird das Selbstvertrauen der Frauen untergraben.
