Authored by Lisa Cosgrove of the Harvard Center for Ethics, a recent statistical analysis of studies assessing the relationship between breast and ovarian cancer and antidepressant drug use finds possible link.

Are you one of the thousands of women currently taking antidepressants? A recent review indicates that these medications are not risk free, particularly for women.

The analysis of published studies suggests a link between breast and ovarian cancer and antidepressant drug usage. The review, which found an 11 percent increased risk overall in both breast and ovarian cancer for patients taking such medication, points to a need for further investigation, particularly since the results varied widely depending on who funded the research.

Hey guys, check it out — bring home many gallons of milk and you’ll no longer be a victim of your girlfriend/wife/mother’s general premenstrual bitchiness.

Such was the gist of the latest campaign from the California Milk Processor Board before it was shut down prematurely, a victim of its own poorly executed bad humor.

Following pressure from several groups including a change.org petition launched by Ms. Magazine, the campaign website EverythingIDoIsWrong.org morphed into GotDiscussion.com Thursday morning. The campaign was supposed to run through the end of August.

A recent meta-analysis (integration of a large number of studies on the same subject) by Northwestern University reveals that most people still use gendered stereotypes when thinking about leadership. The consequence of this is that “Women are viewed as less qualified or natural in most leadership roles…and secondly, when women adopt culturally masculine behaviors often required by these roles, they may be viewed as inappropriate or presumptuous.” These biases against women are most likely contributing to the ever-present leadership gap in the U.S.—women still only hold 17% of seats in Congress and in 2008 only 15.7% of corporate officers in Fortune 500 companies were women.

Kirsty Baranowski stood in the middle of the road hammering on a taxi driver’s windscreen. She was incandescent with rage because he’d suddenly pulled out in front of her.

The outburst was completely out of character, but for 20 years she had been battling with violent mood swings in the run-up to her period.

Studies show that one in every three women suffers from menstrual cramps, according to Karin Björkegren’s new book: “Yoga for Women.” And, while exercise might be the last thing you feel like doing when you’re on your period, studies have also proven that physical activity can lessen pain and cramping; it’s worth getting yourself to yoga class.

You can’t spell “success” without PMS.

At least, that’s the logic of a pair of Miami investment bankers and a tech guy from Texas. The decidedly estrogen-free trio has created a free email newsletter that notifies men of what’s happening with their woman’s menstrual cycle. They call it, of course, The Daily Cramp.
