The Myth of the Strong Woman: Why Softness Is Also Power. AI-Generated.
They Called Me Strong. I Thought It Was a Compliment. I used to wear “strong woman” like a badge of honor. It sounded like power.

The Unfiltered Joy of Being 40 and Divorced
I woke up this morning with no one to impress and nowhere to be. That’s the kind of magic they don’t tell you about when you’re signing your divorce papers with trembling hands and tear-streaked cheeks. I stretched across my queen-size bed like a victorious starfish, limbs tangled in a sea of pillows, knowing full well that every square inch of that bed was mine. Every. Single. Inch.

Busting the Biological Clock Myth: Empowering Women’s Choices
The most well-thought-out advice provided to women of this generation seems to be, "Have a baby when you are ready to raise one." But nobody discusses how to get there. One has to prepare for pregnancy only when one is ready financially, emotionally, and physically, as feminist discourses remind us. But due to your "ticking biological clock," this has to be done in a hurry. There was always pressure on women to bear children.

Is old maid...really a threat?
Years ago, I remembered watching Gone With the Wind and Scarlet O'Hara, the main character, had a younger sister who was rightfully pissed when Scarlet married someone she wanted and worried she'd die an old maid. Now, the younger sister had to be in her late teens to early 20s, but during that time period, a woman not married nor with children would've been considered an "old maid." I'm sure most people know the term, but if you don't, an Old Maid is a woman whose never been married and most likely childless. Well, this is the lazy way of describing this as the term varies. Yet the question I have: Is being an Old Maid...so bad?

Why Elon Musk takes 4-year-old son to every meeting. Xtension or X-factor?
Grimes, a singer and Elon Musk's ex-partner, could not stop crying when she watched the movie Dune (2021). In the character of Paul Atreides, the son of the ruler who was destined and burdened to rule and save the planet without a choice, she saw her son she had with Musk, X Æ A-Xii, also known as X. This fear stemmed from Musk's choice of X as his protege, his companion and his cuteness prop everywhere. The 4-year-old X has accompanied his father to the Oval Office and in meetings with astronauts and Prime Ministers and Presidents across the world. He might just be Musk's "heir apparent", but there is more to why Elon Musk carries his son everywhere.

Celebrating Womanhood. Top Story - March 2025.
Celebrating Ourselves March is recognised as Women’s History Month with 8th being known as International Women’s Day. As a friend said on the day, it is a day when a lot of people focus on negative statistics – assaults against women, intimate partner violence, pay disparities. All these things are important discussions. These are big discussions though, my friend’s thoughts turned mine to smaller but no less important matters.
