However, the adjusted gender wage gap really only narrows the analysis to the potential role of gender discrimination along one dimension: to differential pay for equivalent work. But this simple adjustment misses all of the potential differences in opportunities for men and women that affect and constrain the choices they make before they ever bargain with an employer over a wage. While multivariate regression can be used to distill the role of discrimination in the narrowest sense, it cannot capture how discrimination affects differences in opportunity.

Author and editor, Erica Jong, presents us with 29 essays, poems, short stories, and cartoons exploring a wide range of sexuality and sex issues in Sugar in My Bowl: Real Women Write about Real Sex. At first glance you might think this is another collection of erotic literature written by women, a very common approach to anthologies these days. Yet the very promotion of these books would make you think that they are offering the reader something unique.


Though Sirona, a barkeep at Three Broomsticks, is not explicitly labeled as transgender, a line of her dialogue is highly suggestive. Referring to her friendship with a goblin, she says, "Hadn't seen him in years when he came in a few months ago. But, he recognized me instantly. Which is more than I can say for some of my own classmates. Took them a second to realize I was actually a witch, not a wizard."


You interviewed more than 120 women for this book. Many in heterosexual, long-term relationships told you that sex was an act of drudgery and that they often did whatever it took to get the job done. This felt sad to me.


The female orgasm tends to get wrapped up in these fuzzy terms like "elusive" and "hazy" and "mysterious" because women aren't encouraged to explore what actually feels good. But if they were encouraged to self-pleasure and explore in real, sincere ways by themselves and with their partners, I think they would find that there is a world of pleasurable sensation available to them.


When Lauren Winner wrote about her conversion from Orthodox Judaism to Christianity in her 2003 memoir, Girl Meets God, her frank recognition of the complexities of new-found faith were unpredictable and charming. As she takes up the question of sex and chastity in her book, Real Sex, her candor is not only resonant, it is uniquely insightful. In what seems likely to emerge as a critical resource for any Christian seeking to pursue a coherent sexual ethic in a hyper-sexualized culture, Winner effectively redefines the scope of Christian sexual ethics to incorporate realities-as-they-really-are within the church. She emphasizes the profound relevance of Scripture and tradition as a remedy, while articulating a winsome yet bold challenge for the Church to be less modest about its call to chastity.


One of the reasons some of the scenarios the four main characters find themselves in feel so real is because they were. According to Jennifer Keishin Armstrong, the author of "Sex and the City and Us," the female writers' "personal problems ... often came up in the writing process."


"The writers had a really intimate relationship with each other," Armstrong told Insider. "At another show, it might not be so personal as it was here. They loved when they would fight or get in little disagreements about a topic, because they would use some of that when they were writing the brunch scenes."


According to "Sex and the City and Us," Davis was told that Charlotte might be a recurring character and appear in some, but not all, episodes. However, as the show went on, the writers and creators realized Charlotte was needed as one of the main four.


"In the last episode, in the last moment, I realized [I had] to say Mr. Big's name and I just [mimes typing on a keyboard] 'John,'" King told Entertainment Weekly in 2017. "And then I told all the writers and they were like, 'What the hell?' And I was like, 'We have to say his name because now he's real!'"


"We didn't want to toss them around or treat these items poorly, because they're beloved," costume designer Molly Rogers told Insider. "There's no show really like this, that has these iconic pieces where people say, 'Ooh, the cupcake handbag from Judith Leiber.' ... Viewers almost have relationships with them."


Even before that childhood challenge to my sex identity, I'd thought a great deal about what it means to be a woman, what is really entailed in being a man. As a little girl I was keenly aware of the sex-role stereotyping in our culture and hated it.


In high school, when my budding sexual desire for female classmates was unhappily still relegated to the realm of fantasy, the mother of a nice senior boy I was dating warned him about me. She'd heard I was on drugs (which wasn't true) and that I was a lesbian (which wasn't true - yet - either). I felt amused by the first allegation and complimented by the second. To me, being regarded as gay meant that people saw me as someone who had enough personal identity not to need males or the male-dominated culture to define me. A lesbian, unconcerned about securing a husband, was exempt from most role-playing at being a 'sweet young thing' who shouldn't get her hands dirty, sprint across the street, fix the faucet or tell somebody off.


Alas, in communing with the gay world I discovered to my horror that the polarized butch-femme roles of gay women I'd always heard about did indeed exist and my precious theory was shot to hell. I saw how in some lesbian and gay relationships - just as in heterosexual ones - the rigid sex-typed roles of 'man' and 'woman' kept people prisoners of culturally acceptable human behaviour. Both partners were - as far as I could tell - genitally women. So what then did constitute a real woman?


I got interested in the pagan movement and finally, one day, I invented a transcendental experience. My awareness took the form of a voice. It was - and is - my own voice. It has authority, this voice that somehow got lost in the shuffle of turning book pages, discussion groups, questions. For a long time this voice has needed to know that it exists. How can we know who and where we are until we sort through everything that isn't important, isn't real?


I'm also in this women's group which produces radio programmes in this suburb and it is doing me a lot of good. I've always wanted to learn and share new things. On the programme we express our problems through radio theatre - I do dramatizations which are all based on real life situations. We know many women who are beaten and raped by their husbands. But many now are not putting up with it anymore. As for me, I get on well with my children and I'm teaching them to be caring and sharing in their sexual relations.


Cleveland was not Dahmer's next-door neighbor at the Oxford apartments. She lived in an adjacent building and in reality, Dahmer's actual neighbor was another Black woman named Pamela Bass. After Dahmer was arrested she lived in the 25th Street apartment alone until 2009 before moving to an apartment less than a mile away, according to USA Today.


But Moore said the real experience was nothing as glamorous as what appeared on the HBO reality show Cathouse. She said many girls came in with substance abuse issues and in dire economic straits and struggle to make decent money.


Netflix's Inventing Anna tells the true story of Anna Delvey (real name Anna Sorokin), the fake billionaire Russian-German heiress who tricked New York's wealthiest socialites into believing a lie, defrauding more than $200,000 along the way. And it's safe to say we're gripped by the series.


The real-life Jessica Pressler wrote the original New Yorker article that Inventing Anna is based on, and she's also a producer on the series. Pressler herself isn't a character in the show, but the fictional journalist Vivian is thought to be based on her.


The real-life Rachel is thought to be Rachel DeLoache Williams, an ex-Vanity Fair picture editor who befriended Anna, but was left paying a $62,000 bill after the pair took a fateful trip to Morocco together.


Rachel revealed her side of the story in a Vanity Fair article, detailing what happened on the trip and how she realised Anna was a "con artist". She later published her book My Friend Anna, revealing how she believed Anna's lies before helping the police to track her down.


Orange Is The New Black star Laverne Cox plays the role of Kacy Duke, a celebrity trainer and life coach to Anna. She gets sucked into the heiress' world but somehow manages to keep herself out of real trouble, though she does join Anna and Rachel in Morocco.


Celebrity fitness trainer Kacy Duke was hired by Anna in real life for personal workout sessions. She joined Anna and Rachel on their blowout trip to Morocco, but a few months after the trip she reportedly staged an intervention to get to the bottom of what Anna was really up to.


Alexis Floyd, who played Tia in The Bold Type, stars as Neff, an aspiring filmmaker whose job as a hotel concierge means she knows everything about New York and the people in it. She's thought to be based off of the real-life Neff Davis, who PAPER called "Anna Delvey's only friend in New York".


The real-life Neffatari Davis did indeed work at the concierge desk of the luxury New York hotel 11 Howard, where Anna stayed for months (dodging the bill, of course). The pair became friends, and Neff quickly found herself sucked into Anna's world, with Anna treating her to expensive meals, clothes and more. 2ff7e9595c
