Does the wage gap actually exist in these highly paid professions when all variables like hours worked per week are taken into account? At my hospital female full time physicians absolutely make the same as male full time physicians. And our hospital system's CEO is a woman who makes a huge fortune. The only women I know making less do so voluntarily because they very much want to spend more time with their kids, so they go part-time. That isn't a wage gap issue, though.

Good idea. Blame the women because they want to be loving mothers.

Funny how every time I see something about the wage gap the percentage women make compared to men changes wildly. I've seen everything from 66 cents to 84 cents. Almost like women are just making up these numbers.

According to Berkeley’s The Greater Good Science Center, there are four stages of surprise response: freeze, find, shift, and share.

As Greater Good explains, the freeze stage happens the moment we are stopped in our tracks for seeing or hearing something unexpected. The “Find” stage that follows is when we begin to decipher what’s going on and try to understand how it all happened.
The Shift stage is when our perspectives begin to take shape and shift, typically in response to conflicting findings. The final stage, Share, is when we begin to share the feeling of surprise with others.

Roses Are Red, Sloths Like To Rest,

Whose at fault for this inane headline? The court, the journalist, or the editor?
Surprising events also make learning new information much easier. According to Psychology Today, unexpected events trigger a surge of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter and hormone partly responsible for the fight-or-flight response.
With the surge in norepinephrine comes increased focus and alertness, which ultimately promotes better learning.

Our What?
Robyn Hill 11 hours ago
Problem is, he married Grandma, so we still have to see him on Thanksgiving.
Of course, no one wants ugly surprises. So if you want to invite more pleasant ones, here are some ways, as suggested by the Greater Good:
- Mix up your routines. Take the bus instead of driving to work or eat at a new restaurant. Unexpected changes may lead to new insights.
- Do something random for someone. Offer to wash the dishes, then clean out the fridge. The goal is to under-promise and over-deliver.
- Make a “struggle sandwich.” Simply put, take a big risk sandwiched between smaller risks that will likely go well. Doing so helps you connect risk-taking with something positive.

Absolutely definitely true. And sometimes it can go the other way. Someone reaches for a can of drink because they’re drawn to it, but their body really needs the calories and they should actually eat something nourishing.

You know that most times when women claim something was "obviously made/written by a guy" they turn out to be wrong? There's an advert for Always leak pants (or something, I forget the name) on the radio at the moment. It's the worst advert out, featuring the awful pun of "looks like I found my flow" in reference to bladder leaks, and I bet it was written by a woman. In fact, I've just checked and it was made in collaboration with two prominent FEMALE "celebrities" who wanted to raise awareness about incontinence. So please quit this "It's awful and about women so a man must have made it".
