Mamamia Out Loud

Australia has voted YES. Most of Out Loud was at the marriage equality announcement today, and are sprinkled with glitter and smiling their heads off. But what happens next?

Plus, is it time we culled the office Christmas party? Is it too problematic in these sensitive times?

And, last week, comedian, Louis CK “apologised” for masturbating in front of five. But for many people - his apology, which forgot two keywords - was not enough. Which makes us wonder - is it possible to please the apology police?

Shut the front door, Outlouders. Jessie Stephens has a recommendation today that will blow your hair back, and it's all about what should - and should never - go near your pink parts.

Also, have you ever been 'stashed'? It's a new word for a relationship situation that's as old as time. Has it happened to you?

Is it ever okay to 'shirt-front' the Prime Minister? Karl Stefanovic did it this week. Was it investigative journalism in action? Or just plain rude?

And - shop changing-room etiquette? What's okay and not okay to do when you're behind the dreaded curtain?

Happy Friday.

Paris Jackson was the big international guest at the Melbourne Cup this year. And she did what international guests are paid to do - she created headlines both for both her fashion and her attitude. So why is she being labelled a diva?

And - flexible working is something everyone aspires to in 2017 - but is it really as good for women as it sounds on paper?

Kevin Spacey came out and infuriated an entire community this week, because you can't hide sexual assault allegations behind a 'rainbow shield'. Is that what he was doing? And are we finally living in a world where there's 'zero tolerance' for sexual harrassment?

And, we have a hack that will help you sort out who your real friends are, and who should just be given a walk-on part in your life. You're welcome.

It was World Menopause Day last week, and fittingly, no-one noticed. Because no-one notices women "of a certain age" anyway, right? Wrong.

Plus, is it ever okay to criticise your ex? Karl Stefanovic’s estranged wife of 21 years, Cassandra Thorburn, has told a women’s magazine the Today show host is 'dead to her’.  So, do separated parents have an obligation to keep it nice for the kids, or is a bit of honesty refreshing? 

And did you know the way to tell if Prince Harry's really getting married is to keep an eye on Meghan Markle's manicure? Is it okay to make new friends of the opposite sex when you're in a relationship? And has mental health awareness gone too far? Mark Latham says so, and the strange thing is - he might actually be right...

After 10 years of waking up with Today on Nine, Wilkinson is leaving to go to Network Ten, and you might have noticed, it’s caused a bit of fuss.

Plus, if your Facebook newsfeeds have been flooded with people sharing their Me Too stories but you can’t work out why - we are here to explain.

And Pink has summed up every long-term relationship, ever.

Plus, What’s going on with Harvey Weinstein? At the start of the week the New York Times published an expose about his history of sexually assaulting young women in the industry. So why did it take this so long for this to come out?
