Why I'll Never Get Married Again - Motto. I was married once. When I mention this, people often ask how long it lasted, and 11 years seems to satisfy them that, yes, I did give it the good college try and do understand what this marriage business is all about. I was divorced at the age of 30, and now that I’m in my 40s, I have become increasingly certain I’ll never marry again. It’s not because I haven’t had the option. I’ve had two (or three, depending on how you count) long-term relationships since then. But in each case, I came to realize that marriage just didn’t seem to make sense for many reasons. 1. I don’t want children (or more children)I have an amazing, beautiful daughter who is an adult, and I have no desire to have more. Read more: How to Balance Your Career and Your Personal Life 2. 3.

Guys, Here’s What It’s Actually Like To Be A Woman. You have no fucking idea what you’re doing. Not when it comes to sex and dating and women, anyway. Don’t beat yourself up about it though, because it’s not your fault. Your culture has failed you and the women you’re trying to meet. We have been working with young single men in our capacities as educators, public figures, and authors for more than thirty years. In that time, the most common question we’ve gotten from guys centers around how to increase their confidence with women. But there’s a much deeper problem: At least 70 percent of their questions reveal a total failure to understand the woman’s point of view. Why does this matter? The differences start from the very beginning, at our deepest primal levels. When a man interacts with a woman, his greatest fear is sexual rejection and humiliation.
Women are totally different. And we bet you’re right. But SHE doesn’t know that: when she meets you, you could be Jack Ryan, Jack Sparrow, or Jack the Ripper. Guerreras, princesas y brujas: ocho paradigmas de heroínas Ghibli. Que no sirva como agravio comparativo pues el género del protagonista del relato no tiene porqué marcar la ideología de su film. Y sin embargo, sí que se puede entender como síntoma de que algo raro pasa. La animación que nos llega desde Estados Unidos tiene serias dificultades para plantear personajes femeninos protagonistas más allá de un estereotipo Disney que hoy día, por fin, es un poco más poliédrico. En cambio, tres cuartas partes de la obra del estudio de Mi vecino Totoro (1988) son películas protagonizadas por mujeres: su voz y su punto de vista, la variedad de caracteres, psicologías, edades y procedencias evidencia que ellas son uno de los elementos fundamentales del discurso de toda obra del estudio nipón.
No pretende esto ser, ni mucho menos, un análisis sesudo de los estereotipos femeninos en el cine de animación contemporáneo. Para una visión feminista del tema tienen ustedes abundante bibliografía de Lévi-Strauss, Anette Kuhn o Laura Mulvey, por poner rápidos ejemplos. Birth Control: Which Method Works Best. The Psychology of Giant Princess Eyes - Olga Khazan. If Ariel had normal-sized eyes, we might be less endeared to her—forced to focus more immediately on her disconcerting scaly tail.
If Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg were a Disney Princess, as one artist recently rendered her, she'd have no wrinkles, a smirk on her face, and some décolletage. And when Pixar redesigned Merida, the star of Brave, in May, she got a smaller waist and bigger hair. The debate over the merits of Disney princesses is as old as time, but it's fairly undeniable that the animated films' female leads tend to look like a "pretty girl" cliche. There's some research behind why the princess formula is so effective: Enlarged eyes, tiny chins, and short noses make them look more like babies, which creates an air of innocence and vulnerability.
There's evidence that adults who have such "babyfacedness" characteristics are seen as less smart, more congenial, and less likely to be guilty of crimes. Not just Nefertiti – there are plenty of influential women in history. If you look for them… | Bettany Hughes. Nefertiti’s tomb may have been found behind that of her son, Tutankhamun. Or it may not. Yet the possibility has spawned excitable headlines across the globe.
The story here is not simply the hypothesis, advanced by a British Egyptologist from the University of Arizona, Dr Nicholas Reeves, whose digital study of Tutankhamun’s burial chamber has, perhaps, revealed two unopened side doors. It’s more that this bronze age queen has such pulling power. Nefertiti is an exception that proves a rather worrying rule – only a handful of women, living or dead, have the power to command such attention. Nefertiti taught me this lesson in 2010. Giving a talk on Socrates to a genteel crowd in a church in Woodstock, I mentioned that I had to leave for Egypt where colleagues were investigating new evidence of her life and death. After a fortnight in Amarna, a news-free desert, a baggage handler at Cairo airport asked me what I had been up to.

Las mujeres olvidadas de la Generación Beat. Una antología poética recupera las voces de diez grandes autoras que, pese a la sombra de Ginsberg, Kerouac, Burroughs y compañía, resplandecieron por su talento y personalidad El 14 de enero de 1967 tuvo lugar, en el Golden Gate Park de San Francisco, el mítico Human Be-In Festival, preludio del «Verano del amor» y escenario en el que la psicodelia de la contracultura se hizo carne. Junto a Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary o Michael McClure subió al escenario para hacer historia una única mujer: Lenore Kandel.
Ella, nacida en Nueva York en 1932, es uno de los numerosos (e ignorados) rostros femeninos que formaron parte de la Generación Beat, llamada a cambiar la cultura de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. En un meritorio intento por reivindicar su legado, la editorial Bartleby ha publicado «Beat Attitude», antología bilingüe que recoge las voces de diez poetas hasta ahora (casi) inéditas en España y que esta semana llega a las librerías. Mujeres contestatarias Mujeres contestatarias. !Pan y Rosas! | Érase una mujer. Érase una mujer que no tenía más que sus manos para ganar el pan de cada día. Dueñas de su trabajo, cuando las fábricas se inventaron, las mujeres prestaron sus manos, rápidas como golondrinas, para que los hilos se dejaran tejer con gusto. Muy pronto, sin embargo, descubrieron que las fábricas no eran los lugares que esperaban.
Eran más bien sitios lúgubres, grises, en donde la respiración y las risas eran oprimidas por el tictac de un reloj interminable. Luego, casi sin respiración y sin alegrías, las mujeres se dieron cuenta que estaban volviéndose invisibles. Comenzaron a notarlo porque una parecía espejo de la otra: cada día era más difícil ver sus siluetas, aun a la luz de las claraboyas de los talleres. Cuando regresaban a sus casas, las mujeres apenas tenían aliento para cantarles nanas a sus hijos. Cuando estaban a punto de quedar completamente invisibles, una le susurró al oído a la otra: —¿Te has dado cuenta?

Photo The sound of a mother’s voice plays a critical role in a baby’s early development, multiple studies have shown. Now, researchers have demonstrated that the brain itself may rely on a mother’s voice and heartbeat to grow. Researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston studied 40 babies born eight to 15 weeks prematurely. Like most severely premature babies, the infants were confined to incubators and spent limited time with their mothers.
“Preemies born this early are basically fetuses that happen to be out there by accident,” said Amir Lahav, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and senior author of the study. Using tiny speakers placed inside the incubators, half the babies were exposed to the sounds of their mothers’ voices and heartbeats for three extra hours every day. The other half received no additional exposure to such sounds. “This is part of the biological recipe for how you cook a baby,” Dr. Emma Stone - Red Carpet Watch.
