What's behind the societal idea that Boys don't cry? Crying is a universal human experience that can be triggered by emotions and feelings, not just irritants. Various studies have found that crying because of strong emotions is more common among women than men. There has also been evidence that emotional tears chemical consistency differs from reflexive tears. Maybe women don’t cry more, but men cry less because of societal and hormonal influence.

Episode 91: Boys Don't Cry?

For decades Women (people with uteruses) have been responsible for birth control, but recent studies show that as many as 80% of men (penis havers) would take "male birth control" if it was available. So why isn't there a decent male birth control option other than condoms and vasectomies? What's stopping modern science from creating a viable male birth control option. Turns out its more complicated than it seems. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/vasectomy-reversal-5-facts-men-need-to-know-2/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MHOk7qVhYs https://www.webmd.com/sex/birth-control/male-contraceptives https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/11/03/500549503/male-birth-control-study-killed-after-men-complain-about-side-effects https://www.healthline.com/health/birth-control/male-birth-control-options#outlook https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/4423-vasectomy-sterilization https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jun/05/male-birth-control-step-up-responsibility https://thepolypost.com/opinion/2021/09/14/men-want-to-control-womens-bodies-because-they-are-scared-of-male-birth-control/ https://health.clevelandclinic.org/vasectomy-reversal-5-facts-men-need-to-know-2/ https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/4423-vasectomy-sterilization

Episode 90: Sperm St?ppers

The United States is the only country besides Papa New Guinea that does not provide paid maternity leave. Being able to take time off work is currently a privilege that is only allotted to white collar workers. 88% of American women do not get paid for a single hour after giving birth. Even unpaid leave, which some families can take depending on their employer is lower than the recommended 16 weeks from the World Health Organization. America needs to catch up with the rest of the world and practice what they teach in regard to "focusing on the family".
