"It&amp;amp;#8217;s Sunday News Funday here at Glamour.com, and I&amp;amp;#8217;m ready to bring you another installment of the weekly round-up. In this week&amp;amp;#8217;s edition: the Wisconsin recall election, sexism in the workplace, one teenager&amp;amp;#8217;s heartwarming story of overcoming adversity, and more. So, let&amp;amp;#8217;s get started!As I began to write this week&amp;#x27;s news round-up, I couldn&amp;#x27;t help but wonder: Was I starting to resemble Carrie Bradshaw? Seven Ways Wisconsin&amp;amp;#8217;s Recall Vote May Matter to You The odds were ever in Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker&amp;amp;#8217;s favor on Tuesday when he survived the gubernatorial recall election and retained his seat as the head of the Badger State (Related: did you guys know Wisconsin was called the Badger State? Nuts!). What does this mean for labor unions, President Obama&amp;amp;#8217;s re-election chances, the future of campaign fundraising, and you? NPR&amp;amp;#8217;s Ron Elving breaks it down. Women Do Not Need &amp;amp;#8216;Reasons&amp;amp;#8217; for Being Single or Childless In this modern age, women can get married and have babies or they can remain single and opt not to raise children&amp;amp;#8212;it&amp;amp;#8217;s their choice and it&amp;amp;#8217;s really not a big deal either way. So what&amp;amp;#8217;s with all the articles about women defending their decisions not to marry or have kids? Jen Doll of the Atlantic Wire mulls over the popularity of these pieces and asks why women feel the need to explain their choices. As she so succinctly puts, &amp;amp;#8220;Who&amp;#x27;s the last childless, unmarried dude who has done that?&amp;amp;#8221; Introducing Salon&amp;amp;#8217;s New CEO Salon just announced their new CEO, former Huffington Post tech director Cindy Jeffers. Congrats! Silenced: Gender Gap in the 2012 Election Coverage When James Brown sang, &amp;amp;#8220;This is a man&amp;amp;#8217;s world,&amp;amp;#8221; do you think he had the media gender gap in mind? Anyway, as this recent infographic from the 4th Estate blog indicates, women are vastly underrepresented in print and broadcast media coverage of Election 2012&amp;amp;#8212;even when it comes to women&amp;amp;#8217;s issues, like birth control, the state of Planned Parenthood, and abortion. Because when you want a valid source of information pertaining to matters of women&amp;amp;#8217;s health and wellbeing, logically, you ask a man. Oh, wait; my apologies, I&amp;amp;#8217;m confusing 2012 with 1812 again. &amp;amp;#8220;I&amp;amp;#8217;m Not Your Wife!&amp;amp;#8221; A New Study Points to a Hidden Form of Sexism Job hunting is stressful enough, right? Now, a new study proposes that working women have yet another thing to worry about: married men&amp;amp;#8217;s narrow-minded opinions on women in the workplace hindering their professional advancement. Recent findings from a group of Ivy League researchers (as summed up by Gayle Tzemach Lemmon in this Atlantic piece) indicate that married men in &amp;amp;#8220;traditional&amp;amp;#8221; marriages (read: marriages where the wife stays at home) view women in the workplace less favorably and are more likely to pass over qualified female employees for promotions. From Scrubbing Floors to Ivy League: Homeless Student to Go to Dream College If anyone caught me quietly sobbing at my desk this week, it&amp;amp;#8217;s probably because I was reading this heartwarming story from CNN. After being abandoned by her parents and left homeless, North Carolina high school senior Dawn Loggins worked as a janitor to make ends meet. Despite a lifetime of hardship, she&amp;amp;#8217;ll be attending her dream college this fall&amp;amp;#8212;Harvard University. The Audacity of Knope Variety dares to dream about an America with Parks and Rec heroine Leslie Knope at its head. With (hypothetical) plans for marriage equality, universal health care, and breakfast food for every meal, fictional politics have never been more appealing (sorry, Aaron Sorkin). Call for Nominations: Top 100 Websites for Women 2012 Forbes is compiling a list of the top 100 best sites for women and they want to know what sites YOU love.
