Misguided Wives and Powerless Husbands

The new brouhaha about parents Joseph and Rebecca Reyes, one of whom is Catholic and the other Jewish, is a classic example of two broken institutions in America: the judicial system — and marriage.
The problem with the judicial system is simple: Judges have taken their power and run with it. As one lawyer from Rochester, [...]

The Politics of Teen Sex

I’m not much of a fiction reader — I should read it more.
It’s a great escape from reality and I’m way too mired in reality — but I did pick up a new book from the library called Not My Daughter, by Barbara Delinsky. It’s no great piece of writing — in fact it’s awful [...]

What – and Who – Is a Postfeminist?

And then, this: “Mom? Why did [...]

A New View of Marriage

Marriage seems to be a hot topic these days — perhaps because of all the politicians who can’t keep their penises in their pants.
Or maybe that’s just a coincidence. Regardless, there’s a new book out called Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough, by Lori Gottlieb. The gist of the book is [...]

Will Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” Campaign Work?

I admit it sounds good. Who doesn’t want to put an end to childhood obesity? We all have a stake in this fight. Obesity rates tripled in the past 30 years, and as a result American children may face a shorter expected lifespan than their parents. So what is the answer?
Michelle Obama’s answer includes a [...]
