feminism
At its core, feminism is the simple conviction that women are equal to men in every regard, and should be treated as such.
The Confidence Gap
Could you land a plane if the pilot became incapacitated? Could you correctly use the Heimlich maneuver if someone at your table was choking? Could you give CPR if one of your friends, coworkers, or family members suddenly went into cardiac arrest? A recent study found that men were far more confident than women in their abilities - even if they lacked them - to do such critical tasks. We explore this “confidence gap” and how it translates into challenges - and opportunities - to build self-reliance in women, from school to career.

I am angry. This week I was Threading through Threads and came across a post from a woman that said, among other things: "How can I make my mother stop coloring her hair and just go grey? She's 62 and not fooling anyone; she and her friends are old and it's time that she acts her age."

The Uniqueness of Fendi and the Timelessness of Rome
The name Fendi is strongly associated with Rome. Their flagship store, situated in a palace from the 1700s, is a celebration of Italian textures, hues, and fashion. Every boutique they have, but especially the one in the Eternal City, is a tribute to the country's culture.

Black Patient; Jefferson Health Breast Cancer Surgeon's Joke About Me Losing My Nipple During Lumpectomy Surgery . Content Warning.
Friday, 17 November 2023 By: TB Obwoge I was 46-years old, when I found out that I had breast cancer. It was one of the scariest days of my life. I didn't have much of a support system, my family is large and splintered. They're a bunch of strangers that share some of the same DNA as I do, a lot of them don't share the same feelings about life's issues either.

WHY FEMINISM IS BAD?
First part Amelia and Abigail, old friends with differing views on feminism, found themselves engrossed in a spirited debate within the cozy confines of a local coffee shop. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air as they settled into plush armchairs, each armed with their convictions.
