When you've been accused of s*xual assault, harassment, or misconduct by 60 women, claiming that it was always consensual is either driven by an enormous blind spot in your awareness or a lack of courage in asking for forgiveness.

Men of power who abuse the people around them in these ways do not deserve the protection that other people's silence offers them. It's about time the pendulum of justice swings in the direction of the victims.

As women enter male dominated fields, these types of changes begin to occur. Eventually, the stark divide between business and family will soften and hopefully lead to better policies for all parents.

Babies of senators now welcome in Senate chamber A historic rule change passed Wednesday allowing the newborns of Senate members into the chamber. Its passage without objection came despite plenty of concern, some privately aired, among senators of both parties about the threat the tiny humans pose to the Senate's cherished decorum.

One consequence of being told to "man up" is a desire to die. The su***de rate of boys goes to 5x that of girls around 15-16 years old, which is the exact same time they stop expressing love, affection, sorrow, longing.

When boys are told their feelings don't matter, some of them shut down their desire to live. Allow boys the same room to feel as you might give girls.

The Truth about Work/Life Balance
Go beyond balance and have a life rich with joy, personal power, and self-worth

Our American culture has placed striving at the center of the universe and technology has encouraged work to seep into evenings and weekends.
