Seeing a woman as the main breadwinner in the household is no longer a strange occurrence. However, as we all know, this also entails that, in order to become it, she has to give up other responsibilities around the house, which usually translate in a reversal of roles in the relationship. On this note, researchers h... |

The issue of how far airbrushing in women’s magazines can go, before having dramatic consequences on impressionable teens reading them, has been up for debate for many months now, as we also reported. Until now, though, the issue was only discussed on a “what if” level, but that is bound to change, ... |

Health specialists encourage regular workouts because even mild exercise is good for the body, even if most of the times not enough. However, a new study, cited by the Telegraph, comes to show that, with working out too, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Apparently, women sweating themselves to the p... |

They say a woman’s best “friend” when the going gets tough is some retail therapy. Admittedly, few other things can boost her mood like some shopping for new clothes can, but, with the recession hitting pretty hard, not many can still afford to do so.

It has often been argued that a woman’s best way to cope with stress or any kind of strong and negative emotion is to hit the shops armed with nothing but a credit card and plenty of patience.

Women often find comfort in high-fat foods, especially under circumstances of constant stress. It’s not for nothing that we often see in movies women eating ice cream in the dead of night, straight out of the container, after a breakup, they say.

It’s no longer a secret that men and women have different perceptions as regards a woman’s body and what the standards of female beauty are.

All women must have had at least once in their lifetime what is known under the generic term of “a bad hair day.” For many, this can mean one of those days when the humidity in the air is so high, absolutely none of the hair products they apply can stop it from getting frizzy.

Women, it seems, are crazy after Angelina Jolie’s lips, with countless willing to do just about anything for a fuller set than the one nature endowed them with.

We’ve been told so many times that jeans will never go out of fashion and, most importantly, we’ve seen so many examples of that, that the impulse to want to hold on to our old denims is only getting stronger by the day.

Women have repeatedly been told that wearing high heels on a regular basis will inevitably lead to one health problem or another.

Even in recession, women continue to spend their money on trifles and, as studies have shown, make expenses they can’t afford and refuse to keep on a budget.

There still are many who believe that women’s compulsive need to buy something new is the stuff that myths are made of and that all so-called shopaholics wouldn’t have a problem to speak of if they only kept themselves in check.

It has often been said that women are up to no good when they get behind the wheel for reasons ranging from their inability to focus on one thing alone (driving, that is) to not being as endowed as men when it comes to spatial orientation.

They say it’s easy to get a secret out of a woman because she will tell it to you without even having to ask.

They sometimes say that women know what makes them always look good, no matter what: a less attractive friend to go out with.

Women constantly obsess about certain parts of their body, especially those that they happen not to like, for one reason or another. Aside from that, there are also specific trends of things to hate on the human body, so to speak: the muffin top, the love handles, the saggy abs, and so on and so forth. In recent mont... |

Women are constantly under pressure to look good.

Fashion equals fabulousness but, these days, fashion has another edge to it: it also equals exclusive, not so much in the sense that it offers women the guarantee that they won’t be walking down the street and see someone else with the same frock as them, but rather in that certain sizes are completely left out... |
