We need to start teaching our boys to treat females and their own children with more respect. For both girls and boys: Use condoms every time. Don't have sex just to fit in. And babies won't make...
...driven by issues respectable journalists are uncomfortable discussing openly, and from time to time, it becomes something of a train wreck. From the primaries to Sarah Palin, 2008 has been a year of topics--from working motherhood to Americans' inter- and intraracial attitudes--that the still mostly white and male journalistic élite have had to handle nervously with tongs...
