It wasn't her first experience with the condition, but the timing left her unsure about her future on the show. Instead of stepping back, Weedman leaned in — collaborating with the team to write her condition into the script. Her choice turned a personal challenge into a powerful part of the story.

"If a woman chooses to be a tradwife, that's a choice," sex therapist Ty David Lerman, PhD, tells PS. "That's still feminism. Feminism would also say it's a man's choice how he wants to show up and live his life, whether he's the breadwinner, the housekeeper, or the stay-at-home dad."

Traditional masculinity often discourages vulnerability, and cooking for someone — especially a loved one — can feel deeply vulnerable. In many cultures, home cooking is still seen as women's work: essential, yet undervalued and unfairly seen as simple or unimportant.

But a new trend is also on the rise on social media: boyfriend chefs. Men in straight relationships are sharing their home-cooking routines — and while men have always cooked, it's rarely shown in media.

But here's the key: beauty is whatever you make it. Swift's style proves that sticking to what works for you will always be in style. No need to chase every trend.

Swift's capsule-wardrobe approach to beauty was ahead of its time — a go-to haircut, hair color, or makeup look takes the guesswork out of getting ready. Effortless and polished every time.

But Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, and their respective fans are inspiring her to view the American flag, and Americana fashion, in a new light.

For Emma and her partner, that means honoring the first time they cooked a meal together. They call it "co-soup day" and celebrated their first one this March. Throw those anniversary conventions out the window . . . celebrate what feels special to you.

For the dating-app generation, the classic rom-com meet-cute and linear relationship timeline are pretty much outdated. So why not embrace "arbitrary-versaries"? Meaningful, personal milestones worth celebrating, even if they don't follow tradition.

Now, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the CDC are urging doctors to take IUD pain seriously — and offer women real, better options for relief. It's a long-overdue shift, but a hopeful one.

"Getting my IUD inserted hurt worse than my C-section did," says Caitlin Kavanaugh, a mother to twins. "Having not gone through labor, I had no idea what cervical dilation felt like. I remember feeling like I had to dissociate from my body to make it through."

No tropes. No trauma as the main plot. Just soft, sweet, messy, honest Black love in all its fullness. "Forever" isn't just a show; it's a cultural reset.

The awkwardness, the sweetness, the messiness, the softness . . . it's all there. And when harm does occur, characters are shown as whole human beings, not reduced to tropes or stereotypes.

Reimagined by "Girlfriends" creator Mara Brock Akil, "Forever" follows two Black teens in Los Angeles as they explore love, friendships, and growing up. The series provides what's been missing on television: Black love in its fullness.

The difference between swinging and soft swinging? Swinging involves full-on sex with other people, while soft swinging includes everything but penetration. However, soft swinging looks different for every couple, so be sure to set clear boundaries based on individual comfort before getting started.
