"Landmark Divorce Settlement: Mom Rewarded $215K for 25 Years of Unpaid Housework"

A woman in Spain has received a record divorce settlement of €204,000 ($215,000) for 25 years of unpaid housework during her marriage. The court ruling also requires her ex-husband to pay her a monthly pension of €500 ($528) and provide financial support for their two daughters. The woman argued that her dedication to the home and family prevented her from pursuing her own career, while her ex-husband's business thrived. This case highlights the often overlooked contributions of women in unpaid labor and the need for gender equality.

"The Surprising Effects of Women on Men: 6 Unconventional Findings"

Close relationships with women, whether they are co-workers, sisters, daughters, or wives, can significantly influence the attitudes and actions of men. Research shows that male CEOs with daughters narrow the gender wage gap in their companies, while fathers of daughters are less likely to support traditional gender roles. Men who grew up with sisters tend to be more politically conservative and less likely to help with housekeeping chores. Additionally, men with stay-at-home wives tend to exhibit more sexist attitudes, and men who work in female-dominated careers tend to do more housework. However, men whose wives earn more than they do are less likely to contribute to household chores.
