Should Ariana Grande’s weight and appearance really be the centre of so much public discourse?
Body image educator, Jemma Rose, says the viral obsession with photos of Ariana proves women’s bodies are still treated as public property that everyone gets to have an opinion on. We need to stop making one woman’s body an entry point for diagnosing her wellbeing and redirect our energy to the systemic issues that are destroying relationships with our own bodies.
She was once dubbed the “Queen of the men’s rights movement” and her 30-year political career shows why. Yes, we’re talking about Pauline Hanson, again, but really wanted to share this on how the party leader is increasingly mainstreaming the manosphere.
And AI is fast screening women out of candidate shortlists, preferring those with more “linear” career trajectories. Behaviour scientist and author Dr Gleb Tsipursky says employers should do more to prevent such bias: including offering an appeal pathway.
Dr Jenny Brown explores some of the hidden trauma of parents seeking mental health help for a child – her research finds that many feel sidelined in the process.
And ICYMI: Sarah Rosenberg shares how a private text message of her quoting a Love Actually joke was real aloud in court to undermine her credibility. She wants the NSW Government to expand the scope of its approach to protecting victim-survivors in court.
