University of Nevada women’s volleyball team forfeits match instead of facing ‘transgender’ opponent

The University of Nevada’s female volleyball team has become the latest squad to refuse to compete against San Jose State because it has a “transgender” male on its roster.

Refuting the Techno-Myth and Reclaiming Childhood

Screens are so pervasive in society that we tend to think of them as inevitable. They have become extensions of our bodies. We might think that technology in itself is neutral and is only good or bad depending on how one uses it. Catherine L’Ecuyer, a doctor in education and psychology, disagrees. L’Ecuyer is Canadian by birth but currently lives in Spain, and she has been a powerful voice against the introduction of screens—of phones, tablets, laptops—into the school system for children and adolescents.

We Need a New Feminism That Embraces Motherhood as Meaningful Work

Feminism needs a makeover. In its original form, feminism worked to free women from a life without choices. Gloria Steinem’s feminism gave women the option to have brilliant careers outside the home, to forgo having children, and still lead meaningful lives. Many women needed to be freed from society’s expectations that all women should marry and have children and stay at home in the kitchen. However, the movement painted these issues with a broad brush rather than targeting those women who sought that choice. In its attempt to liberate those unhappy with traditional roles, it shifted judgment onto those who found fulfillment in raising children as meaningful work.

New study finds abortion increases likelihood of women seeking mental health treatment

Having an abortion does indeed correlate to negative mental health, a new Danish study has found, contradicting a previous study out of the country and corroborating other data finding cause for concern. The study, published in Issues in Law & Medicine and led by the Elliot Institute’s David Reardon, reassesses the data from a 2011 study that found no increased risk of mental disorders after a first-trimester abortion. That conclusion, the new study’s authors write, was “inconsistent with similar studies that used longer time frames,” so they chose to take a second look at the same data “over slightly longer time frames.”
