The “Reasonable” Way to Respond to Being Sexually Harassed. Record-setting polar explorer, 16, hits back at men who say she belongs in the kitchen – Women in the World. Man on conditional release who killed partner sentenced to life in jail. Women with degrees earn three times as much as those without. Women with degrees earn at least three times as much as a non-graduates within a decade of leaving university, according to the first large-scale report into the impact of higher education on wages and salaries in the UK.
A study conducted by the Institute for Fiscal Studies, Cambridge and Harvard universities found that the graduate premium for women was greater than for men, even though male graduates on average earned more. Researchers found that median earnings of men 10 years after graduation were about twice those of a non-graduate while female graduates earned more than three times as much as their non-graduate counterparts. The study used tax records and student loan data for 260,000 people who were at university between 1998 and 2011 and whose earnings were looked at for the tax year 2011-12. Texts from student who killed herself shared across campuses.
Text messages sent by a university student who killed herself following an abusive relationship will be shared on campuses across Scotland as part of a campaign to raise awareness of domestic violence among young people.
Emily Drouet, 18, then studying law at Aberdeen University, texted friends in the weeks before her death in March 2016. She described her emotionally and physically violent relationship with fellow student Angus Milligan, insisting “It’s my fault”, “I made him so angry” and “I deserve it”. This litany of self-recrimination is being publicised with the permission of Emily’s mother, Fiona, who is spearheading a poster campaign to alert young women to the insidious nature of domestic violence, and calling for university staff to be trained to recognise signs of abuse. 'Listen to women': UK doctors issued with first guidance on endometriosis. Doctors are being advised to listen to what women tell them about crippling pelvic and period pain and look out for the symptoms of endometriosis in a bid to speed up diagnosis of a disease that can wreck lives and careers.
It takes an average of seven to eight years to be diagnosed with endometriosis, according to the first-ever guidance on managing a disease that affects one in 10 women from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) in England. Experts say the long wait is the same all over the western world. Many women are told they are making a fuss about normal period pain.

How Doctors Take Women's Pain Less Seriously. Early on a Wednesday morning, I heard an anguished cry—then silence.
I rushed into the bedroom and watched my wife, Rachel, stumble from the bathroom, doubled over, hugging herself in pain. “Something’s wrong,” she gasped. This scared me. Rachel’s not the type to sound the alarm over every pinch or twinge. She cut her finger badly once, when we lived in Iowa City, and joked all the way to Mercy Hospital as the rag wrapped around the wound reddened with her blood. South African district offers student grants to girls who remain virgins. A South African region has launched a grant scheme for girls who remain virgins throughout their university studies, triggering outrage among human rights groups.
The bursary offered in Uthukela, in the south-east of the country near Durban, is the brainchild of the municipality’s female mayor, Dudu Mazibujo. News of the scheme sparked outrage from civil society groups, with one women’s association branding it unconstitutional. “The bursaries are for young girls who are still virgins,” said a municipality spokesman, Jabulani Mkhonza. “It’s a new category which the mayor has introduced this year,” he said, adding that the goal was to encourage “young girls to keep themselves pure and inactive from sexual activity and focus on their studies”.

Act like a lady. Oleg Tinkov Thinks Women Shouldn't Be Bike Racing and Feminism is 'Abusing' - Total Women's Cycling. The owner of a men’s pro cycling team made a string of insulting comments about women’s cycling on Twitter last night.
It all began with a tweet where Tinkoff-Saxo owner Oleg Tinkov suggested Chris Froome was riding ‘like a girl’. Why, surely by this he meant that Froome was putting his heart and soul into riding like a beast, despite earning a poor wage, receiving a fraction of the media attention as his colleagues, and having fewer opportunities to race? Maternity leave discrimination means 54,000 women lose their jobs each year. Women returning from maternity leave are more likely to face discrimination in the workplace than they were a decade ago, according to a report published today by the Equality and Human Rights Commission.
The study by the EHRC estimates that around 54,000 new mothers are losing their jobs across Britain every year – almost twice the number identified in similar research undertaken in 2005. It also found that 10% of women were discouraged from attending antenatal appointments by their employers, putting the health of mother and baby at risk. Caroline Waters, deputy chair of the EHRC, said the report, Pregnancy and Maternity-Related Discrimination and Disadvantage, highlighted “worrying levels of discrimination and disadvantage at work that women still face”.

So far I have counted two men peeing in public. Last week, I started counting the number of men I see everyday peeing by the road side in the city.

Inside Amy Schumer - Football Town Nights. These amazing new contraceptives could be the future of birth control. There are a lot of options for contraception today, from the pill to vasectomies, but they're not perfect. They can be high-maintenance (like taking a pill every day) and aren't always reliable (condoms break 3 percent of the time). However, scientists are trying to come up with better options. Researchers are working on a number of new technologies, including a remote-controlled contraceptive for women, which could be turned on or off with a simple command, and options for the long-awaited "male pill.
" Here's what you need to know about the future of contraception: Men could get more options for reversible birth control. Judge criticised after claiming 16-year-old pupil groomed teacher.

Real, Live Practice Babies. Once upon a time, infants were quietly removed from orphanages and delivered to the home economics programs at elite U.S. colleges, where young women were eager to learn the science of mothering. These infants became “practice babies,” living in “practice apartments,” where a gaggle of young “practice mothers” took turns caring for them. After a year or two of such rearing, the babies would be returned to orphanages, where they apparently were in great demand; adoptive parents were eager to take home an infant that had been cared for with the latest “scientific” childcare methods.
This scenario is the premise of The Irresistible Henry House by Lisa Grunwald. The lovely novel, which I had the delight to read over my holiday vacation, charts the life of Henry, a orphan who started his life as a practice baby at a women’s college. But the “practice baby” idea is more than just a fictional device–it is, bizarrely enough, a historical fact. Women Laughing Alone with Salad.
