TL;DR: The "woman question" is generally ignored in analyses of the class structure of society This is so because, on the one hand, classes are generally defined by their relation to the means of production as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The "woman question" is generally ignored in analyses of the class structure of society This is so because, on the one hand, classes are generally defined by their relation to the means of production and, on the other hand, women are not supposed to have any unique relation to the means of production The category seems instead to cut across all classes; one speaks of working-class women, middle-class women, etc The status of women is clearly inferior to that of men, but analysis of this condition usually falls into discussing socialization, psychology, interpersonal relations, or the role of marriage as a social institutionThis article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in fullClick here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website

Abstract: An online survey of 3,461 North American girls ages 8–12 conducted in the summer of 2010 through Discovery Girls magazine examined the relationships between social well-being and young girls’ media use—including video, video games, music listening, reading/homework, e-mailing/posting on social media sites, texting/instant messaging, and talking on phones/video chatting—and face-to-face communication. This study introduced both a more granular measure of media multitasking and a new comparative measure of media use versus time spent in face-to-face communication. Regression analyses indicated that negative social well-being was positively associated with levels of uses of media that are centrally about interpersonal interaction (e.g., phone, online communication) as well as uses of media that are not (e.g., video, music, and reading). Video use was particularly strongly associated with negative social well-being indicators. Media multitasking was also associated with negative social indicators. Conversely, face-to-face communication was strongly associated with positive social well-being. Cell phone ownership and having a television or computer in one’s room had little direct association with children’s socioemotional well-being. We hypothesize possible causes for these relationships, call for research designs to address causality, and outline possible implications of such findings for the social well-being of younger adolescents.

TL;DR: The need to consider gender power issues in the design and impact assessment of HIV/AIDS and reproductive health interventions and in challenging male violence among pregnant adolescents in Cape Town, South Africa is underlines.
Abstract: A research project with pregnant teenagers in an African township revealed widespread male coercion and violence within sexual relationships. If reproductive health interventions are to be effective, practitioners need to be aware of the level of gender inequity and powerlessness women experience in particular social contexts and design interventions which challenge male violence.

TL;DR: In this article, a framework that illustrates how and why third places, such as diners, coffee shops, and taverns, become meaningful in consumers' lives is offered, suggesting that some consumers patronize third places to satisfy not only their consumption needs but also their needs for companionship and emotional support.
Abstract: Using grounded theory methodology, a framework that illustrates how and why third places—that is, places such as diners, coffee shops, and taverns—become meaningful in consumers'lives is offered. The framework suggests that some consumers patronize third places to satisfy not only their consumption needs but also their needs for companionship and emotional support. These supportive needs are prevalent in older-aged consumers, who often experience events that diminish relationships. Therefore, these consumers may turn to their “commercial friendships” in third places for support. On the basis of the consumer needs that a third place satisfies, consumers identify a third place as place-as-practical, place-as-gathering, or place-as-home. The framework is verified with the Social Support Questionnaire for Transactions instrument. The data reveal that as the frequency to which consumers obtain companionship and emotional support from their commercial friendships increases, so too does their loyalty.
