Saturday Link Love: Hollywood, Education, and Flint

Saturday Link Love is a feature where I collect and post links to various articles I’ve come upon over the past week. Feel free to share any interesting articles you’ve come along as well! The more the merrier.

The Amazing Lack of Gender Progress in Hollywood, Weinstein and Not, on Family Inequality—“Putting women in top leadership positions is not a panacea for gender inequality. But for the sexual harassment situation I am quite sure it would help a lot.”

Does Education Pay? If You’re White, It Does! on HowMuch—“The white advantage is so big that whites without a degree are up to 40% richer than black and Hispanic individuals who do have college degrees!”

Science clearly says contraception is necessary for women’s health, on Dr. Jen Gunter—“The Federalist just published an anti-science, misogynistic screed on contraception. While this fact is not surprising it is shocking that this piece of propaganda was written by a physician.”

We Now Know Just How Bad the Flint Water Crisis Was for Pregnant Women, on Mother Jones—“They found that fertility, or the birth rate, declined by 12 percent among Flint women, and the fetal death rate increased by 58 percent.”
