What If...Instead Of A Bear... It Was Coyotes?. Top Story - August 2024.
I have waited for the train to slow down on the philosophical debate of Would You Rather A Man Or Bear In The Woods I waited mostly because I was busy being entertained by reading the comment arguments, and seeing men flail, gnash their teeth angrily, and thrash against what is society's view of their gender as a whole. I have seen men agree with the women, saying that there are men out there who are worse than bears (usually those guys are the cool ones, yah?). I have seen women, who by the profile pictures and their lifestyle photos tell me they wouldn't survive just walking in the forest, talk about how they wouldn't be scared of the bear and be able to make friends with it before a man was able to control himself.

Feminism Has Lost Her Identity
Ladies and Gentlemen....welcome to my unpopular opinion.... again. I remember learning about the women's rights movement in school. I remember not understanding how the world had come to the conclusion that women were not equal to men, and why women had to fight for the right to work in the first place.

A Look Back at CJ Perry's Brief, but Spectacular AEW Tenure
I've been a huge fan of CJ Perry ever since she first appeared in WWE under her familiar name, Lana. Hard to believe that her wrestling career has lasted for over a decade, it doesn't seem like it's been that long. Eight of those years were spent in WWE, usually as the (often) villainous manager for the then-named Rusev--a gimmick that started back on NXT. It wasn't until her last few years in WWE that we would finally start to see Lana actually compete in the ring, but just as she was about to really rise on her own, she gets the rug pulled from her. A release in 2021.

Review of The Mother of the Bride: Climax clichés and gorgeous settings mask a generic plot.
Review of The Mother of the Bride: Climax clichés and gorgeous settings mask a generic plot. Ever wanting to escape in the picturesque beauties of nature while aimlessly wandering in the darkness with no mobile phone or a torch, sounds like a morbid plan without thoughtful execution behind it. While it is a celebratory year as this year is marked as a renewal of the cherish of romantic comedies with movies like Anyone But You, Idea of You, Players and many more, Netflix's most recent romantic comedy released in the week of Mother’s day, The Mother of the Bride tries to sell the second chance romance in the exotic location of Phuket, Thailand, yet its formulaic plot and half baked characteristic execution makes it dull and cliched. Let's dive deeper into the nuances of the plot.

The detrimental impact of aesthetic norms on emotional wellness
What are beauty standards and where do they stem from? Beauty standards are cultural beliefs that influence social power and dictate how individuals should look to be socially accepted. These standards encompass physical features like facial appearance, skin, and body shape, and can be either innate or alterable. Terms like "attractive," "pretty," and "good looking" are used to describe adherence to these standards. It can be challenging to determine which features can be changed and which cannot. Not conforming to societal beauty standards by refusing to alter one's appearance is often viewed as a moral failure. For instance, wearing makeup is not a natural or biological choice, but rather influenced by current trends.

Beyond the Numbers: Understanding the Societal Impact of Gender Disparities in Financial Literacy
Beyond the Numbers: Understanding the Societal Impact of Gender Disparities in Financial Literacy Although women have made great progress in the last few decades toward full equality, more needs to be done. The gender pay disparity in Europe is 12.7%. They are more likely to work in fields where wages are low and to encounter discrimination at work. In general, women have lower financial literacy than men. Many people lack basic knowledge of financial principles, with a significant gender gap in financial literacy. Women face unique financial challenges due to longer life expectancies, lower lifetime income, and career interruptions for child-rearing. This lack of financial knowledge puts women at risk of financial insecurity in retirement. Those with higher financial literacy are more likely to make better financial decisions, such as investing in the stock market and saving for retirement. It is important to understand women's level of financial understanding and address any gaps in financial skills.
