The Psychological Underpinnings of Benevolent Sexism: A Comprehensive Exploration
A recent study by Clever Girl found that "benevolent sexism" (BS) can hurt women in the short and long term. Benevolent sexism is when someone (usually a man) says something that seems supportive and upbeat but is based on traditional gender stereotypes. Unlike hostile sexism or other overt forms of discrimination, it is unique in that it is often used with intentionally positive intentions and is usually interpreted as such by the recipient. For example, Carla and Alex have been anticipating their manager's annual performance reviews.

Heavy Loads and Short Fuses: Why You Shouldn’t Mess with Truck Drivers . AI-Generated.
There’s a silent menace rolling across America’s highways, and it’s not the eighteen wheels themselves but the human soul behind them. Picture this: a lone truck driver barreling down I-40, the hum of the engine a lullaby of isolation. Hours blur into days, and the road becomes an endless black ribbon cutting through time and space. The world they navigate isn’t just asphalt and mile markers—it’s a psychological battlefield where the enemy is fatigue, loneliness, and a mind on the edge. And yet, there they are, mile after mile, hauling the weight of a nation’s economy. Food, fuel, medicine—everything you take for granted is a burden they bear. They’re warriors, armored in steel and diesel, but underneath, they’re just humans trying to survive the grind. And here’s the truth no one wants to admit: you don’t want to mess with them.

55. Top Story - February 2025.
I turned 55 on Sunday, Feb. 2, the Groundhog Day. And it hit me hard. I do occasionally suffer from the Birthday Blues. You know, no one's getting younger and every year is another wrinkle on your face and in other places. I know, I know, there are a lot of people even in this community who might think, "55! I wish I were that young again!" and I do understand them. I really do. We all have different perspectives on our own age.
