The White House Is Taking Womens Issues Seriously. Really. – The New York Times
Ms. Tchen and Valerie Jarrett, who was named the councils chair, initially considered creating a cabinet-level gender council position or a broader gender ambassador, but decided against it in the end. It sounds counterintuitive, but they felt that it would give the designated gender person less power every time issues like sexual harassment in the military or sexual assault on college campuses arose.

Reproductive rights face increasing threats no matter what actions President Biden takes | Letters – Chicago Sun-Times
While I am excited for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to usher in a progressive agenda, the crushingly repressive regime in place for the last four years wont disappear overnight. Despite significant gains in health care access under the Affordable Care Act, the federal policies of the Trump administration, paired with decreased federal funding, have significantly eroded equal access to health care. Those people most affected by these restrictions are low-income, people of color and undocumented folks, who already face systemic barriers to care due to racist and discriminatory policies past and present.

Why research and conversation about menopause is letting down Black and Asian people – goodhousekeeping.com
Despite menopause being a process that half the population are directly impacted by, it remains a taboo topic, shrouded in mystery and stigma. Weve encountered the change that occurs when a person experiences their last period, normally between the ages of 45 and 55, predominantly through a plethora of stereotypes: the cantankerous and unhinged older woman grappling with mood swings and hot flushes. Work has taken place in attempts to demystify menopause, from parliament debating NHS menopause services to Menopause: The Musical embarking on a tour across the UK and Ireland in 2019

Gender and punishment – The Indian Express
The arrest of climate activist Disha Ravi on the charge of sharing a protest toolkit and the burning of posters and effigies of Greta Thunberg carries ominous messages beyond the obvious ones relating to dissent and freedom of speech.

You do not even have to be supportive of the cause of the farmers to think that our public culture has mutated to a particular level of toxic masculinity.

Mystery around bears’ reproduction is a reminder of their balancing act – Minneapolis Star Tribune
Minnesota over the years hasn't been quite sure what to do with its bears. Early settlers feared them or killed them for food, and from 1945 to 1965 the state paid $10 bounties to people who dispatched bruins that toppled garbage cans, broke into cabins or otherwise made nuisances of themselves. Considered vermin, bears decades ago were sometimes gut-shot by Minnesota deer hunters who watched the animals run off to die in distant locations
