The University of Wisconsin fires the porn industry’s former chancellor, who wanted to stay on as a professor

The University of Wisconsin fires the porn industry’s former chancellor, who wanted to stay on as a professor

The University of Wisconsin Board of Regents voted unanimously Friday to fire a communications professor who wanted to keep his job after he was fired as chancellor of one of the system’s campuses for producing pornographic films. Joe Gow, who had served as UW-La Crosse’s chancellor for nearly 17 years, argued last week that he should be retained in a teaching position on campus. But the university’s lawyers argued that he behaved unethically, violated the terms of his employment contract, damaged the university’s reputation and compromised its mission. The regents met in closed session Friday morning before publicly voting to fire Gow. There was no public discussion before the board vote. Gow said he is considering filing a lawsuit to keep his teaching job. He did not immediately respond to a message Friday morning. Gow has been on paid leave from his faculty position since the regents fired him as chancellor in 2023, shortly after university leaders became aware of the videos posted on pornographic websites. The case has drawn national attention both for the salaciousness of a high-ranking university official making pornographic films and speaking publicly about them and for the questions it raises about free speech rights. Gow argued that his videos and two e-books he and his wife Carmen have published about their experiences in adult films are protected by the First Amendment. The university’s attorney argued that Gow’s videos themselves were legal, but that they were not protected by his employment contract. Zach Greenberg, an attorney at the free speech advocacy group Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, called the regents’ decision “a major blow to…” academic freedom and the right to free speech.” “FIRE has said time and time again: Public universities cannot sacrifice the First Amendment to protect their reputation,” Greenberg said. “We are disappointed that the UW has caved to donors and politicians by alienating a tenured professor.” Republican lawmakers already view the Wisconsin university system as a liberal incubator. Last year they forced the company to scale back its diversity initiatives. System President Jay Rothman has tried to avoid further angering conservatives as he seeks approval for an $855 million increase in the next state budget. Gow’s hope of teaching in the classroom again was rejected by his department head, Linda Dickmeyer. She said because Gow hasn’t taught in 20 years, he will be assigned general education courses, but she refuses to allow him to return to teaching in any role. Gow was criticized in 2018 for inviting porn actress Nina Hartley to give a talk on campus. She received $5,000 from tuition fees for her performance. He came up with the idea of ​​bringing her to campus after filming a pornographic video with her, the university said. Gow and his wife’s e-books were written under the pseudonyms “Monogamy with Benefits: How Porn Enhances Our Relationships” and “Married with Benefits.” Our real-life adventures in the adult industry.” But they also star in a YouTube channel called “Sexy Healthy Cooking,” in which the couple cooks meals with porn actors.

Signs that you are suffering from Eldest Daughter Syndrome

Signs that you are suffering from Eldest Daughter Syndrome

  • “Oldest daughter syndrome” is not an official diagnosis, but it can describe how first daughters feel.
  • One therapist said the common traits were perfectionism, people-pleasing, and over-responsibility.
  • As the oldest of her six siblings, she said she suffers from eldest daughter syndrome.

Oldest daughters often face more pressure than other children, including eldest boys, according to a series of new studies.

Now, many first-time daughters are grappling with the implications of being the biggest sister, from their academic success to who they date. The term “eldest daughter syndrome” describes common feelings of pressure and perfectionism that eldest daughters face as adults.

Annie Wright, a therapist practicing in California, told Business Insider that while it’s not an official diagnosis, “eldest daughter syndrome” can be a useful description and is something she talks about with some of her clients .

It’s also something she can personally identify with: She grew up as the oldest of four siblings before two younger stepsisters joined the family when Wright was an adult.

“I can relate to almost everything 100%,” she said of the characteristics associated with eldest daughter syndrome. Overwhelm, self-confidence and difficulty setting boundaries are all things that she “internalized very, very early on”.

Although she attributes much of her professional success to her eldest daughter’s qualities, she said, “There are really some pros and cons when it comes to this set of personality traits that I have developed.”

She shared some of the most common issues that eldest daughters struggle with.

Being overly responsible in relationships

Wright said the predominant personality trait in the eldest daughters was “high responsibility and caring.”

Eldest daughters often rely on their younger siblings for help, although to varying degrees. Daughters who became parents, for example, might go beyond the occasional diaper change and be responsible for caregiving, organizing household tasks or even resolving family conflicts, Wright said.

“This early caregiving role really shapes their sense of identity and, frankly, contributes to them feeling overly responsible, both in the family and later in adult relationships,” she added.

A lot of self-inflicted pressure

Beyond caregiving, eldest daughters may feel “an implicit or explicit expectation for them to be a role model to siblings,” Wright said, leading them to develop perfectionism later in life.

This can lead to feeling pressure to “succeed academically, professionally and personally,” she said, especially if parents are also overly critical.

On the surface, it can seem like a great thing: Eldest-daughter syndrome is often associated with “Type A” personalities and fantastic organizational skills. Wright says her above-average achievements helped her become the first person in her family to attend college.

However, she said that striving for success often comes at a cost for eldest daughters and “can contribute to their stress, anxiety and fear of failure.”

I find it difficult to ask for help

Because eldest daughters are often praised for their independence, they can develop “a really strong predisposition toward self-reliance,” Wright said. If their caring skills are what make them the favorite child, they won’t want to give up that title by admitting they need help.

Reflecting on her own childhood, Wright remembers feeling like a “good big sister” and “such a helper” as she got diapers for her newborn sibling. She said this can lead to the eldest daughters internalizing the belief that they should handle everything on their own.

This can lead to resentment and a reluctance to be vulnerable. “The people who don’t look like they need help are often the ones who really need it,” Wright said.

People-friendly

While the eldest daughters find it difficult to express a need, they can also take on more responsibility from people who have no problem asking for help. They are often people pleasers who find it difficult to set boundaries.

In her practice, she often advises eldest daughters to start small and set boundaries. “I would invite people to ask themselves where they could step back from caring and allow others to take responsibility for themselves,” she said. “It’s okay to say, ‘I need some time to myself and I can’t help it.'”

Prone to burnout

Eldest daughters are particularly vulnerable to burnout, Wright said. Many of her eldest daughter’s clients realize that the same overachieving and lack of boundaries that helped them achieve professional success can lead to problems later.

In her own experience, Wright’s initial career success turned into challenges with workaholism. “The very things that may be adaptive early in life may prove maladaptive later in life,” she said.

Wright said that being diagnosed with cancer in 2022 “really made me re-evaluate the 80-hour work week.” She also felt like she was missing out on time with her daughter.

Wright began “rigorous therapy” regarding her appearance. “It wasn’t easy at all, nice work, but unfortunately it was a crisis that brought me to the point where I had to start dealing with it.”

Former All-Star closes book on disastrous Washington Nationals tenure

Former All-Star closes book on disastrous Washington Nationals tenure

On Thursday, Patrick Corbin pitched what could be his final game for the Washington Nationals and possibly his MLB career.

The 35-year-old left-hander lasted 5 1/3 innings against the playoff-bound Kansas City Royals, allowing four runs on six hits with one walk and three strikeouts. When manager Dave Martinez removed him from the game early in the sixth, Corbin may have walked off a major league mound for the last time.

Corbin received light applause from the approximately 14,000 fans in attendance. In return, he gave his cap to the crowd at Nationals Park and thanked them for their support and appreciation.

The two-time All-Star will be a free agent this winter, but the Nationals are unlikely to bring him back after half a decade of dismal performance. Given his age and terrible performance, it’s also hard to imagine another team signing him.

Regardless of whether he continues to play or retires, Corbin will be remembered as one of the worst free agent signings in MLB history.

In December 2018, Washington signed a six-year, $140 million contract instead of extending Bryce Harper, who signed a record deal with the Philadelphia Phillies three months later. Corbin was only 29 years old at the time and finished fifth in the NL Cy Young voting for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The move paid immediate dividends for the Nationals, who already had an excellent rotation with Max Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg and Anibal Sanchez. Corbin went 14-7 with a 3.25 ERA and helped Washington to its first World Series win in franchise history that fall against the Houston Astros.

However, things immediately went downhill for Corbin and the Nationals. Injuries, trades and free-agent departures decimated their championship core, leading to five straight losses and four last-place finishes.

Corbin was part of the problem and turned into a pumpkin once he turned 30. From 2020 to 2024, he went 33-70 with a 5.62 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and -2.2 WAR in 137 starts and led the National League in losses each year from 2021 to 2024.

Given Corbin’s contract and Washington’s lack of pitching depth, the team had no choice but to continue throwing him out despite the disastrous results. He couldn’t blame injuries either, as he only missed a handful of starts during his time with the Nationals.

Washington is finally free of Corbin and his $35 million in deferred salary. Hopefully the front office spends money more wisely this offseason.

I ask Eric: I can’t get over my spouse’s decades-old inappropriate affair

I ask Eric: I can’t get over my spouse’s decades-old inappropriate affair

From R. Eric Thomas

Updated: 16 minutes ago Published: 3 Hours ago

Dear Eric: I am 80 years old and have been married to the best woman possible for 33 years. We connect and are soulmates. My question is: Why have I been jealous lately of her affair with a 17 year old high school student even though she was 27 and a teacher? This was mentioned a long time ago in our past relationship report. Why has this reactive jealousy consumed me now? I want to know a lot of details about this encounter, but I realize that this will only delve me deeper into my obsession. My constant rumination is putting a strain on my side of our marriage. What can I do?

– Past repeat

Dear repeat: Whenever seemingly random events from the past enter my mind, I always think of the moment in a crime drama when a body floats to the surface of a swamp, only to be discovered years after the initial crime. Like the plot of a crime drama, these mysterious feelings always involve more questions than answers and are never really about what they initially seem to be about.

What your wife did wasn’t appropriate, but it doesn’t sound like this new obsession is about ethical violations. I don’t think it’s even about what happened in the past. If you have the resources, talking to a counselor or therapist about this fixation can help you get to the bottom of what you’re really stressed about. Maybe something is changing in your marriage, maybe you’re worried about yourself or your body. These things are normal and it is possible to change the way you think about them so that the movies stop playing in your head. Your local aging department may also be able to point you to free or low-cost counseling options for seniors

It’s also important to draw a clear line between what’s going on in your head and what’s going on in your marriage. Tell your wife that you can’t stop fixating on this event and also what you plan to do to remedy it. Don’t make your obsession their problem, but if there’s something in your marriage that needs to be addressed, disclosing what else is going on in your head will pave the way for a healthier discussion.

• • •

Dear Eric: About three years ago, a work friend “T” and I quickly became close. T profusely confessed her (platonic) love. I, an untrusting person who usually keeps others at a distance, thought I had found a new “best friend.”

But every now and then, and completely unexpectedly, T slips into “bad girl” mode.

She will make derogatory comments about my appearance, snap at me over seemingly trivial things, and act annoyed and angry during our encounter. In group situations, the irritation seems to focus on my behavior and not that of others.

We had an argument before, after which I ended the friendship. A year later we reconciled when she contacted us. But on a recent weekend trip together, their “bad girl” reared its ugly head. When I told her how it made me feel, she apologized and said it was because I wasn’t listening to her enough.

These episodes are also a painful reminder of my sister, who has a personality disorder and exhibits similar behavior towards me. I eventually had to distance myself from her for my own well-being.

It’s difficult to form close friendships in middle age, and I don’t want to give up my friendship with T, but I can’t continue to feel like her emotional punching bag. Any ideas on how we can handle this situation without losing the good part of our relationship?

– Undermine and over it

Dear Undermining: At some point before she met you, T realized that she should be aggressively mean when she didn’t get the attention she wanted. And she learned that to get someone to like her, she should bombard someone with love. None of these lessons are true, and now you are suffering because of them.

Worse, because T’s behavior mimics your sister’s, it’s likely causing you to put up with it longer than you otherwise would. This is a terrible situation to be in and I’m sorry.

Try talking to T in a non-mean girl moment while setting a clear boundary. Even if she doesn’t feel listened to, offensive language or behavior is a no-go. Tell her that she needs to control herself to maintain this relationship. Ask her if she understands how you feel about this and what her plan is to put your friendship on a healthier course.

If T doesn’t respect your boundaries, your safest bet is to limit contact with her. I hope she can be the best friend you deserve, but for your own well-being, she may be best as an arm’s length friend.

Kim Richards taken into psychiatric custody after relapse and argument with sister Kyle

Kim Richards is reportedly facing trouble after being open about her addiction issues for years.

According to TMZ, Kim and her sister Kyle Richards were involved in an argument over the former earlier this week Real Housewives of Beverly Hills The star’s relapse into her alcohol addiction.

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department confirms to PEOPLE that law enforcement reported an incident in the Encino area on Wednesday, September 25, where a source tells PEOPLE that Kyle owns a home where Kim recently lived lived.

The LAPD tells PEOPLE that officers responded to “keep the peace” after a woman reportedly violated a restraining order. However, after an investigation, they found that there was no order on record and no crime had been committed.

“Both parties were informed of the eviction process and officers maintained the peace,” added officials, who could not confirm Kim and Kyle’s involvement in the scuffle.

A manager for Kim and Kyle did not respond to PEOPLE’s requests for comment.

According to TMZ, Kim, 60, was staying at a Hilton hotel earlier this month until she was taken to Psychiatric 5150 and hospitalized because of her “incoherent” behavior. Kyle, 55, reportedly allowed Kim to stay at her home after her release to help her get back on her feet.

The source reports that the family has cut off all contact with Kim, hoping the shutdown would help her sober up.

Over the years, the reality star has been open about his struggles with alcohol addiction. Her journey to sobriety has long been documented RHOBH.

In 2010, Kyle portrayed Kim as an alcoholic on the first season of the long-running Bravo show.

In March 2016, Kim told PEOPLE that she had her “first real drink” at age 24 and her addiction began when she split from her second husband, Gregg Davis, in 1991. She remembered drinking a glass of wine in the evening and it soon escalated into more. “I realized I was drinking a lot,” she said at the time. “That’s where my problem started.”

A few months later, in December, Kim expressed gratitude for her sobriety. At that point, she had been sober for five years.

“Before I started the show, life was really good, and then things would happen that didn’t happen,” she told PEOPLE. “And it wasn’t just my relapse that was hard, but also that I went through depression afterwards.”

“I’m just so grateful to be where I am today, to be so happy, to have such a good life and to have the relationships that I have… I feel so blessed,” she said. “I feel powerful. I’m so grateful. Honest. Life is so amazing today. I wake up happy. I’m going to sleep happy.”
