What we’re reading this week –

  • Fumbling in the Feminine Aisle: What to look for on menstrual product packaging to find the closest approximation to your U.S. brand when you’re in China.
  • Gayle Sulik’s new book, Pink Ribbon Blues, is available. An excerpt from the book’s abstract:

    Pink Ribbon Blues highlights the hidden costs of the pink ribbon as an industry, one in which breast cancer has become merely a brand name with a pink logo. Indeed, while survivors and supporters walk, run, and purchase ribbons for a cure, cancer rates rise, the cancer industry thrives, corporations claim responsible citizenship while profiting from the disease, and breast cancer is stigmatized anew for those who reject the pink ribbon model.

  • Parents in the Netherlands allow romantic sleepovers among teens. And still, the country has one of the lowest youth pregnancy rates.
  • Size matters – research indicates that fat men last longer in bed than their thinner counterparts, apparently due to their higher levels of estradiol.
