    You know what I would like to see? Articles start appearing in men’s magazines with lists of “5 ways you can take on more emotional labor now!!!” I’m so sick of these articles that explain something women already know, often in forums that are mainly aimed at women, with “tips” like it’s the woman’s job to find fixes.

      PREACH. I also wish men were exposed to half the messages we are about how to do things better — and to be clear, I’m not talking about work stuff, but on the domestic front.

      YUP. Men’s health doesn’t have ‘how to better handle your share of emotional labor in your relationship’ articles. UUUGH.

    My almost-11-year-old was super inspired by a different article about the 11-year-old inventor. Definitely something to share if you have a STEM girl.
