Fewer first-generation female graduates have children, study finds Women who were the first member of their family to gain a degree were found to be less likely to choose to become mothers

It's quite sad that this wasn't framed positively. I was only talking to someone the other day about how every other woman in my family who is my age (and much younger) is a SAHM, and it's cool I had the choice whereas my mum didn't.

I don't like Guiness, so seeing as I've got a cold and it's medicinal it's a whisky with the duvet on the sofa to binge House of Guiness for me

It makes sense when you consider that women are less likely to enter middle leadership and be in a position to rewrite those modules, and even if they're Heads of Dept they essentially need to want to do it for free. It's a huge endeavour on top of an already high workload

β€œMale loneliness” is a vague, empirically unfalsifiable Potemkin village of an argument meant to smuggle yet more anti feminism into popular consensus.

AI-Generated YouTube Channel Uploaded Nothing But Videos of Women Being Shot YouTube removed a channel that posted nothing but graphic Veo-generated videos of women being shot after 404 Media reached out for comment.

This is terrifying and yet everyone simply says 'it'll be everywhere, there's no avoiding AI'

Text reads: he was convicted in august 2018 and was ordered to carry out 300 hours of unpaid work. A 3 year non harassment order was also granted to prevent him from contacting either of his victims. How many of watts friends knew about his previous convictions? The far right claim to protect women and children yet they are willing to platform someone who has convictions for domestic abuse.

Text reads: it is therefore not a surprise that John watt supports the β€œjustice for innocent men Scotland” group that some survivors have labelled β€œrapist support group” for their targeting of victims/survivors of sexual assault when perpetrators have been convicted

Text reads: watt interviewed one of the organisers of the group who stated that convictions for rape and sexual assault are higher to β€œcontrol the population by decreasing birth rate” and to β€œbreak down the family unit”. And given Watts history of domestic abuse it’s unsurprising that he commented in relation to a convicted rapist β€œso now we’ve got a man in jail for potential hearsay”

This feels like a confession but I hate working from home. I miss the structure and routine of going into school! Maybe it's because I don't have a separate room/workspace (kitchen table that's a room everyone walks through' or just a me thing but who do you guys talk to all day?

She does give off 'posh woman who tells sex stories at a party to be salacious' not 'literature fan who monologues about the importance of faithfully retelling the classics.' I think if you want historically accurate period dramas we need a nerd to make them

I haven't particularly liked Emerald Fennel's films, so I'm not defending it as a fan, but all of the Wuthering Heights furore makes you wonder why they'd produce an accurate version given how much hype the anger about inaccuracy creates

Last week I went around my dad's house to help him clear his unopened letters and do life admin. Sitting amongst a pile of unopened bills and not managing to finish a single conversational point, he throws in 'I don't know what I did for you to end up taking that adhd medication' πŸ˜‚
