This week’s roundup of our favorites from across the interwebs to help you make sense of men and women.

1. Why Are Terrorists So Often Men? by Irin Carmon of Salon.com says Tamerlan Tsarnaev was performing a kind of masculinity through public destruction.

2. No One, Male Or Female, Should Be Ashamed Of Leaving The Workforce by Noah Berlatsky of The Atlantic says for some people, regardless of gender, family is more important than career. And that’s fine.

3. The Misplaced Outrage Over Gwyneth Paltrow’s Bikinis For Little Girls by Jessica Grose of The Daily Beast says Gwyneth Paltrow is selling bikinis for girls ages 4 to 8 on her website, which has critics up in arms. Jessica Grose discusses why the conversation about “sexualizing” kids is actually harmful.

4. The Tangle of the Sexes by Bobbi Carothers and Harry Reis of The New York Times says the Mars/Venus view of men and women describes a world that does not exist, at least not here on Earth.

5. How Often Should Married Couples Have Sex? by Elizabeth Bernstein of the Wall Street Journal asks: What happens when he says ‘more’ and she says ‘no’? (We don’t agree with this piece, but it’s sparked debate elsewhere.)
