I’m not always winning that battle. When I’m not being vigilant, the voice in my head is about the worse thing I can pay attention to. There’s negativity, which is all about being a naysayer. There’s judgment which is always giving an unwanted opinion. There’s self-doubt, which says I’ll never reach my goal or be the person I long to be. And then there’s my personal favorite, “worry” which gives voice to all things that could or could not possibly happen....

Study Why Sexist Men Think Women Have More Power In Relationships

“Aggressive behavior can have disastrous consequences on a relationship because the female partner is more likely to withdraw, openly share her dissatisfaction and become less committed,” study coauthor Emily J. Cross, a professor of psychology at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, said in a statement. “This can reinforce a commonly held stereotype among men with sexist beliefs that women are not trustworthy. It’s a vicious cycle.” When men believe that they are in perpetual competition with women for the upper hand, the result is known as hostile sexism....

Teachers Union President Calls For Full Time In Person School Reopening

Randi Weingarten, president of the 1.7-million-member American Federation of Teachers, will somewhat ironically make the call during a speech to be delivered virtually later today. It will come at a moment when only about half of the nation’s schools are fully reopened. “There is no doubt: Schools must be open. In-person. Five days a week,” she will say while acknowledging that reopening is not risk-free but that those risks can be mitigated through personal practices like handwashing and structural changes like smaller class sizes (a pre-pandemic union priority) and holding some classes outside to ensure social distancing is possible....
