For it to be a real Battle of the Sexes, the court dimensions have to be the same and it has to be tennis. It could be one set, but it has to be two serves. The court size has to be the same because that's the way tennis is played. Is this more of an exhibition and is Kyrgios going to take her along or is it going to be a real battle out there where they go toe-to-toe properly? We don't know.

PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Venus Williams and Andrea Preti are married, the tennis great announced Tuesday on social media. Williams and Preti became wife and husband over the weekend in Palm Beach, Florida, as part of a five-day celebration.

CEO exits and chief executive contenders not getting the top job are normal machinations of corporate C-Suites, but this year they've added up to a stark trend: the number of female CEOs in the Fortune 500, long on a steady climb, has plateaued, underscoring a broader trend in which corporate workplaces seem to be pushing women to the margins once again.

even when women are the primary breadwinners, they perform two to four times more housework than men. Their research explores how households could benefit if lower-income men adjusted their schedules to take on more domestic tasks and allowed higher-income women to work longer hours outside the home. Their analysis revealed that the time women spend on housework decreases after divorce, while men's time increases.

A few days before the NCAA women's volleyball national championship, Texas A&M opposite hitter Logan Lednicky posted an old family video on her Instagram account. Lednicky is maybe 5 or 6 years old in the video, wearing a maroon A&M shirt, and doing cartwheels on the grass at Kyle Field, A&M's football stadium. "Say 'Gig 'Em, Aggies,'" her mom, Leigh Lednicky, implores her, and little Logan walks up to the camera, smiles and gives a thumbs-up.

When I was younger, they thought I was a mute, Beau Greaves says with a wry smile, thinking about all the ways darts has changed her. Never said owt in school, really shy. Didn't really know what to say half the time. I suppose playing darts just brought me out of my shell. When you get popular, people want to meet you and talk. It's matured me.

On this Thursday night, that is distant history. As fog rolls in over the Venice Pier, Sarah skates alongside dozens of women on the coastal path. They belt out the lyrics to "Hey Jude" as singer Chloe Kat serenades them with a guitar in hand. Curious fishermen eye them, their fishing lines cast into the black ocean. But they pay no attention. Twirling under the moonlight, the women resemble a witch's coven - their spells are good vibes, California weather and the boards beneath their feet.

We've heard it all before: Women do more in the home. They spend more time cooking, cleaning, planning, and caring for children.

About one in three Australians are time-poor with the majority working unpaid hours, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. But women are bearing the brunt with more than 36 per cent always feeling rushed or pressed for time, compared with about 30 per cent of men. The most common reason for feeling rushed was trying to balance work and family. It comes as the bureau issues its key takeaways on how we spent our time in 2024. It categorised the way Australians spend their time in four ways: personal care for self, employment and education, unpaid work and free time. The survey found most people had done unpaid work but fewer people reported doing unpaid work on days they did paid work.

For all of the professional gains women have made over the past several decades, one stubborn measure of inequality-the gender wage gap-has been especially difficult to stamp out. And it's a disparity that can be traced in large part to parenthood. In nearly every country on Earth, the arrival of children tends to coincide with a lasting drop in employment and earnings for moms but not dads.

Feminist activist Brisa Batista took part last Sunday in one of the largest demonstrations held in Brazil against femicide the daily drip of violence that kills four Brazilian women every day. This time, the sociologist felt supported alongside the thousands of women who took to the streets of Sao Paulo, Rio, Brasilia, and dozens of other cities to express their outrage at sexist murders and the normalization of misogyny shouting, Stop killing us. It was a massive protest, nothing like her lonely protest in 2019.

STANFORD After Cal swept Stanford last season for the first time since 1985-86 following the retirement of Cardinal coach Tara VanDerveer, it looked like the title of best women's college basketball team in the Bay Area may be changing hands. But Stanford made a stand Sunday, scoring 12 straight points in the fourth quarter to defeat Cal 78-69 at Maples Pavilion.

Despite equal devotion to their work, there is a "notable ambition gap" between men and women, according to a new study by McKinsey and Lean In. The Women in the Workplace report, which examined data from 124 companies and 9,500 employees, found that 80% of women want to be promoted to the next level, compared to 86% of men. The gap is widest for employees early in their careers and those at senior levels.

Influencers are incentivized to make you feel behind so you keep buying. The problem is not influencers as people, it is the culture of constant consumption that social media amplifies. When spending becomes a performance, it distorts reality. she tells EL PAIS. You see the purchase, not the credit card bill. You see the lifestyle, not the insecurity behind it. Influencer spending can create pressure, comparison, and shame, all of which keep people from focusing on long term financial health.

In a Cabinet meeting, Kennedy went on a six-minute-plus grovel to Trump. That's pretty standard for these increasingly weird meetings, but the secretary of Health and Human Services specifically praised the president for ending a 20-year war on women by removing the black box warnings from hormone replacement therapy. As much as it shocks me to say it, RFK Jr. has a reasonable point.

What do you mean, why? You were saying it to her multiple times. You seemed pretty comfortable saying it then. Why don't you wanna say it now? Because you're afraid to get in trouble? That's a bad reason. You shouldn't wanna say it because it's rude. And the reason why you don't wanna repeat it to me is because you know it's wrong,
