I was bullied at school and he seemed normal, despite being almost a decade older than me. I didn't know that he'd previously been in jail or that he used drugs.

He'd give me the tiniest amount so I would get ill, then another tiny bit to get me well…...

They joined yearlong day care waitlists, meal-planned, carpooled and optimized family logistics to make sure nothing slipped. Then the pandemic hit. As child care centers and schools closed, kitchens and closets turned into offices, and children became companions on conference calls. The impossible juggle reached a breaking point. By March 2021, nearly 2.3 million women had exited the workforce in what economists dubbed "she-cession." But COVID also helped reimagine work for caregivers. In the first year of the pandemic, the share of U.S. remote workers tripled, and women made up more than half of all home-based workers. By 2024, the employment for mothers surpassed pre-pandemic levels. But this year, the trend began to reverse. Close to 455,000 women left their jobs in…...

The Islamic republic's judicial authorities have faced mounting criticism from ultraconservatives for failing to properly enforce a mandatory headscarf law for women, as fears grow of a surge of Western influence. Images online of Friday's marathon showed a number of runners who were not following the Islamic republic's strict dress code for women, which was enshrined in law in the early 1980s.

"One of those arrested is an official in the Kish free zone, and the other works for the private company that organised the race," it added. Around…...

There are a lot of odd side effects of demographic imbalance, but Latvia might have the most unexpectedly practical one. The country has so few men that women are now hiring "husbands for an hour," not for romance, but for housework. It almost sounds like the premise of a questionable late-night channel, yet it's a completely normal service in a country where the gender imbalance is wildly lopsided. Eurostat reports that Latvia has 15.5% more women than men, over three times the European Union average. According to local…...
