As a boomer, I’m shocked by gen Z’s attitude towards women – something has gone very wrong | Joan Smith New research suggests older people have more progressive views on women’s rights than younger generations. This direction of travel is deeply concerning, says Joan Smith, former co-chair of the Mayor ...

“…new research carried out in 29 countries, including the UK, that suggests that almost a third of gen Z men believe that a wife should always obey her husband. A similar number say a husband should have the final say on important decisions.”

It took Tracey Lindeman 24 years to be diagnosed with endometriosis and adenomyosis. By that time, her endometriosis was stage 4, the most severe type of the condition. On the next (MIS)Treated, we talk to her about medical misogyny in accessing care for endometriosis.

“Lower-income mothers are increasingly returning to work sooner, while higher-income mothers are better positioned to take longer leaves.

This is not gender equality. It is the reproduction of inequality through public policy.”

I’ve had some pretty awful experiences in the medical system but today I had probably the best appointment with Dr. Tania Di Renna @wchospital.bsky.social her Resident restored my faith in this system. I think it’s important to share the good and the bad and when great things happen 🙏❤️

Fitch Downgrades Paramount After Warner Bros. Deal Announcement The $81 billion deal for Warner Bros. Discovery is highly complex and poses credit risks, Fitch Ratings said.

After Warner Bros. deal, Paramount's debt has been downgraded to junk status

Basically, the ratings agency thinks the combined entity faces a ton of competition & there's a risk the entire enterprise fails -- debt attached to it is therefore high-risk

America’s teachers are working two jobs and barely getting by | CNN Business Ashley loves her day job teaching math, reading and science to fifth-graders in Washington. But like many other teachers, Ashley relies on a side hustle or two to get by.

The overwhelming majority of American public school teachers (71%) hold at least one side job, according to a new survey released today.

Over 300%.

"The study found that among boys and men aged 15 to 24, the mean monthly rate of gambling-related outreach per million people rose by 317% cent from the time before Ontario’s launch of PlayOLG to the period after the privatization of online gambling."

"For me the big red flag is: does it end in the supplement shop?"

IMO this is the question we should always be asking when it comes to privatized health care - especially for historically stigmatized issues like menopause.

At some point you wonder not just if insiders using information to place bets, but maybe also reshaping their advice to make those bets profitable.

Live updates: U.S., Israel strike Iran as Trump calls for regime change; Tehran retaliates The U.S. launched “major combat operations in Iran,” President Donald Trump said, promising to destroy its missiles and give rise to a change in government.

Iran’s state broadcaster reported the toll from the U.S.-Israeli strikes so far has reached 201 dead and 747 injured across 24 provinces, citing figures from the Iranian Red Crescent Society.

Both Iranian and Israeli outlets confirming American strikes on Iran.

Iranian sources say that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was targeted, but is in a secure location.

Don’t have much to add on the many intl and domestic law issues with the Iran strikes. But I’ve been esp struck by allies circling the wagons to support them. Carney et al want to build a middle powers coalition nominally more wed to the intl rule of law. Now would be a nice time to stand up for it.

This is something I didn’t know. Oral HRT/MHT has a higher risk of blood clots & strokes but government drug plans don’t cover patches or gels. In a special live audience (MIS)Treated, we talk about the multibillion market of menopause and how those going through it have trouble accessing care.
