Feminism is hardly the culprit behind the hypersexualization of young women.

...broader mess is not free of other culprits. The police should not have continued expressing their belief in Heene’s story once they had secured evidence that it was a hoax, which happened as early as the night of the incident itself.

The spread of the tree-killing mountain pine beetle, aided by warmer winters, has turned millions of acres of Western forest into kindling. And as the flames burn, they'll reinforce climate change. A report published in the journal Science this spring found that not only are fires worsening as a result of climate change, but the CO[subscript 2] they release...
...security measures in place that meets recommended practices for museum security—has never faced the embarrassment of a successful heist. Still, a few crimes have been attempted, according to one Sackler guard. One Degas showed subtle signs of being cut out of the frame, although the culprit was never caught in the act and disappeared among the crowd...
