SCROLLING
• Teachers are stepping in on child poverty (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) where the government is failing.
• What woman hasn't been bombarded by unsolicited 'help' (Öffnet in neuem Fenster)from men, asks Rebecca Solnit.
• Half the world as a clitoris (Öffnet in neuem Fenster), so why don't doctors study it?
• Actor Naomi Watts went into perimenopause at 36 (Öffnet in neuem Fenster). Like many of us, she didn't know WTF was happening to her. Now she's launched Stripes (Öffnet in neuem Fenster), to offer support and solutions for women going through menopause. (Full disclosure: I'm a guest on an upcoming episode of her podcast.)
• Goop (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) has a cruise. Gone Girl (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) has a cruise. What if we combine the two and kill everyone on the Goop cruise?!
• What's between you and happiness? (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) Envy.
