...anything but forward-looking. The term was originally coined by men as a demeaning label for aging barflies who settled for whoever was still conscious at closing time. The “cougar” does not stem from a female fantasy of sexual empowerment, but from a male one: the desire to dominate and control the subversive sexuality of the woman past her prime. Bedding a woman in her 40s who knows what she wants and has a career to boot is the ultimate validation of a man’s stud-status. Like her counterpart, the MILF (Mother...
...Sexual violence and gender inequality are real. According to most estimates, between one-third and one-fifth of women will experience sexual or domestic violence at the hands of a male friend, partner, spouse, or date during their lifetime. The MenSpeakUp campaign believes that men must play a prominent part in addressing these problems if significant progress is to be made. A society of mutual respect requires men to rethink how they treat and interact with women...
...culmination of our efforts. We hope that it will fulfill its promise of providing an online platform for men who are concerned about the levels of gender inequality and violence in the world.

We very much encourage the participation of women on the website, as a dialogue between the sexes is of utmost importance in changing men’s perceptions of the problems at hand...
...relatively small sample size of this pilot study and the narrow range of respondents' fields makes generalizing the results tricky. But the fact that women are lagging behind in the languages - often considered academia's female-friendly fields - suggests that the fight to get more women established in male-dominated math and science might be even more of an uphill battle than we expected. According to the new study, whether women were single, married, divorced, with children or without, they lagged behind their male counterparts in every demographic. Married women took an average of 8.8 years to become full professors...
...childrearing isn't responsible for slowing women down, what is? One answer is that men and women prioritize different aspects of their work. Female associate professors devote less time than their male counterparts do to churning out books and articles, essential fuel for promotion: women reported spending 7.7 hours a week on research and writing compared to 9.7 hours for men. This difference adds up to men spending about two more full work-weeks a year writing than women do. That can make a big difference at a time when schools' increased reliance on adjunct professors is pushing...
