Do Men With Wives Who Out-Earn Them Have An Inferiority Complex?

Do Men With Wives Who Out-Earn Them Have An Inferiority Complex?

The first thing that stood out to me with this article is that….the problem didn’t seem to be that the wife was making more money than the husband, it was that the husband wasn’t holding up his end of the bargain. If the whole point of having someone stay home is so that person can keep the house, coming home to laundry and dinner when you’re also the primary breadwinner would be infuriating. More »

(T)Workin'

It’s hard out here for a young professional: wages are getting lower, work hours are getting longer, and you barely even smiled at that GIF your friend just sent you. But don’t reach for the 5-Hour Energy just yet — sometimes all you need is a good jam to help you get by. More »

Our Pro-Arrest Domestic Violence Policy Is Hurting Young Women

Since the mid-1980s, there has been an exponential increase in the number of girls arrested, waiting in detention, and serving time in foster placement.

Hey Gen Y, It’s Okay That TIME Is Calling Us Narcissistic

Hey Gen Y, Itâs Okay That TIME Is Calling Us Narcissistic

Though Joel Stein is a clever man (he always makes me laugh on those I Love the 80′s specials on Vh1 but then again, so did John Meyer) and managed to nab the cover of TIME Magazine this week with his cover story on millennials in which he calls them the most narcissistic generation, I really don’t think this is anything new. People have been saying this for years. They have also called it selfish, entitled, spoiled, lazy and spoiled again. But what Stein does do differently is point out that narcissism is actually a great trait to have for our generation. So for all those that think they’re great and like to look in the mirror all day, keep going. You may just save the world. More »
