    Women in heterosexual relationships still do most of the domestic work. During the holiday season, the tasks multiply.
  1. Why You Should Often Ignore Your Child’s Opinion of You As A Parent
    https://www.grandmagazine.com/2019/12/why-you-should-often-ignore-your-childs-opinion-of-you-as-a-parent/

  1. All Parents Offer Empty Promises and Hollow Threats. But Do They Do Harm?
    https://www.fatherly.com/parenting/empty-promises-and-hollow-threats-harm/
    When a child acts out, it is all too easy to make a promise or threat a parent has no intention or ability to keep. But that could hurt your relationship in the long run.
  1. Teenage Boys Who Think Men and Women Should Be Treated Equally Less Likely to Be Violent
    https://www.newsweek.com/teenage-boys-men-women-treated-equally-violent-1479012
    Teaching teenage boys about gender equality could prevent them from being violent, a study suggests.
  1. The year in patriarchy 2019: from Epstein conspiracy theories to Japanese high heels
    https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/dec/28/year-in-patriarchy-arwa-mahdawi
    As strongmen try to take over the world, women have been fighting back and making their voices heard. Here are some highlights – and lowlights
  1. Chemicals That Haven’t Been Used for Years Are Still Having an Impact on the Growth of Fetuses in U.S.
    https://www.newsweek.com/chemicals-that-havent-been-used-years-are-still-having-impact-growth-fetuses-us-1479606
    Pollutants from chemicals still found in the environment years after they were last used are still having an impact on fetuses, a study has found.
  1. What Drives College Admissions? Money Mostly.
    https://www.fatherly.com/uncategorized/what-drives-college-admissions-money/
    It would be nice to believe that cream rises to the top and that a rising tide brings up all boats, but parents’ liquidity still ensures rich children find a place at elite schools.
  1. Adolescent Addiction Expert Weighs In On Proposed Ban On Flavored E-Cigarette Pods
    https://www.npr.org/2020/01/01/792916482/adolescent-addiction-expert-weighs-in-on-proposed-ban-on-flavored-e-cigarette-po?utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=health
    NPR’s Mary Louise Kelly talks with Dr. Sharon Levy, a pediatrician and an adolescent addiction expert with Boston Children’s Hospital, about the FDA’s proposed ban on most flavored e-cigarette pods.
  1. New Report Shows That An Alarming Number Of Children Are Being Poisoned By Opioids
    https://www.npr.org/2019/12/20/790319831/new-report-shows-that-an-alarming-number-of-children-are-being-poisoned-by-opioi?utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=health
    A new study finds that children are being poisoned by opioids, and a growing number of them in recent years are ending up in pediatric ICUs for lifesaving procedures.
  1. Why the US is one of only a few countries with no paid time off
    https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/12/24/21035628/new-york-paid-time-off
    Workers have paid vacation days in Turkmenistan, Brazil, and the European Union — but not in the US.
  1. Volunteering and other good deeds reduce physical pain, a study finds
    https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/30/health/volunteering-reduces-pain-wellness/index.html
    Consider a New Year’s resolution of giving and volunteering to reduce pain and improve your health.
  1. Why Do Kids Ask So Many Questions? They Fear Fake News.
    https://www.fatherly.com/health-science/why-do-kids-ask-so-many-questions-they-fear-fake-news/
    Many kids ask over 70 questions an hour. The onslaught isn’t just a product of curiosity. Developing minds want to know whether sources can be trusted.
  1. The internet made trans people visible. It also left them more vulnerable.
    https://www.vox.com/identities/2019/12/27/21028342/trans-visibility-backlash-internet-2010
    This decade has been a double-edged sword for trans people.
