Working with men is bad for your health, researchers say
Yet another reason to ban men.
A new study from the Indiana University Bloomington has found that working in male-dominated offices can do serious damage to female employees’ health.
In a large US survey, researchers studied the stress hormones of more than 440 women who worked in offices where at least 85% of the workforce were men.
They found that women working in these strongly male-dominated environments had unhealthier patterns of cortisol – the damaging stress hormone – than those who worked in more gender balanced offices.

25 things only emotionally unavailable people know
Dead inside?
Snap.
Let’s stay at a respectful distance from each other, discuss nothing emotional, and be best internet friends.
Being emotionally unavailable has its own benefits and rewards.
Like being GREAT at taking insults and criticism (because you genuinely don’t give a f***), remaining the go-to for rational, calm advice in times of crisis, and living a life free of emotional drama.
But it also has its own struggles.
Like physical contact. Intimacy. Or having to express genuine human emotion.
Basically, being emotionally unavailable is something unique and sometimes wonderful, with a bunch of daily experiences that only members of the emotionally unavailable crew can truly understand….

10 struggles Muslim girls will relate to
Life as a Muslim girl isn’t always easy. Sometimes you’ve got to balance your faith with fashion, work, and a zillion other things.
Here are 10 of the struggles we deal with:
1. Trying to find suitable modest clothes (that still look stylish)
Autumn and winter are a Muslim girl’s best friend, but summer is the worst!
Clothes that have slits in, are too short or are practically see-through are out of the question. Finding modest clothes that cover up without looking frumpy in the summer can be hard.
And don’t even get me started on ripped jeans.
2. The hijab question
Some of us choose to wear hijab. Some of us don’t. If we do wear it, we get asked if we got forced into wearing it. And… Read the full story

The McWhopper aka. the ultimate Frankenburger may be about to become a reality
In the world of fast food burgers, two names stand out from the competition: Burger King and McDonald’s.
And this year, for one day only, the two burger behemoths *may* be joining forces to create what could possibly be the best burger of all time – the McWhopper.
We say may, because at this stage the McWhopper is merely a proposal from Burger King to MaccyD’s.
You see the culinary collaboration is all in aid of raising awareness for International Peace Day, with Burger King suggesting that they and McDonald’s set an example by agreeing to a ‘ceasefire’ on their ‘longstanding rivalry.’

Watch this dog and elephant play together and know that friendship is real
Imagine you’re a baby elephant, and you see a dog for the first time.
You’d be confused, right? Maybe a little freaked out?
Well, that’s pretty much how Yindee, a baby elephant at the Elephant Nature Park, reacted when confronted by a random dog, who’s really keen on playing together.
Yindee actually borders on pissed off for a bit, getting a little bit frustrated by the dog’s NEED to play.
But then, as all of us must, Yindee gives into the fun, and starts chasing the dog around and flinging some dirt.
And a friendship is born.
