I’m with Ryan, here: I’ve always struggled a little at making sense of artists’ intentions and the broader social messages they’re trying to get across. But I particularly struggled with this one (perhaps because, […]
I’d be really interested in understanding how the types of work environments affect the extent to which women experience these feelings. I say this as someone who works on a team mainly with other parents (mostly […]
