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

1. Yahoo Blows It Again by Mary Elizabeth Williams of Salon.com says a new expanded leave policy doesn’t cover real life—especially for a company that has banned working from home.

2. Why NBA Center Jason Collins Is Coming Out Now by Jason Collins and Franz Lidz of Sports Illustrated says “I didn’t set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I’m happy to start the conversation.”

3. The Benefits Of Men And Women Being Friends, Even If One Is Married by Hugo Schwyzer of The Atlantic says fear of sexual tension shouldn’t dissuade people from pursuing cross-gender relationships.

4. The Firestorm Over Late-Term Abortions by Michelle Goldberg of The Daily Beast says an exposé of a Bronx, New York, clinic purports to show ghoulish late-term abortion practices. Goldberg investigates how the videos are misleading—and why some women feel the need to seek out the procedure in the first place.

5. In The Season Of Marriage, A Question: Why Bother? by Andrew J. Cherlin of The New York Times says people are marrying later, partly because they no longer need to marry to be acceptable to society.
