Jeannie Suk, a senior fellow at the Humanities Center, discussed at the Barker Center last night how the threat of psychological trauma experienced by women has affected the abortion debate...
While the rest of the world moves towards gender equality, Harvard’s eight all-male final clubs have stubbornly remained on the wrong side of history. Two decades ago, the last of Princeton’s eating clubs discontinued its practice of gender discrimination after a protracted legal battle that included two failed appeals to the Supreme Court. The next year, Skull and Bones, Yale’s famous secret society, voted to accept women following a contentious public fight that pitted renowned grads like John F. Kerry and William F.

"There are lots of struggles within this coalition," opposition leader Nour told TIME last week. "However, we will not discuss the internal problems; we'll discuss what we want to achieve." Liberal activists are wary of the Brotherhood's Islamist aspirations, while a Brotherhood official conceded to TIME that a number of his group's stances on issues such as women's and Christian rights are divisive and urgently need to be changed...
