...their sons that it's possible to both work and parent. Economic forces were at work as well: for the entire 20th century, every successive generation of American men could expect to do better financially than their dads--that is, until Generation X. According to a study by the Pew Charitable Trusts, the median income for a man in his 30s in 2004 was 12% lower than it was in 1974, once adjusted for inflation. Men were forced to relinquish sole-breadwinner status for their households to stay afloat...
...slippery slope: a recent Pew survey found that increasingly, parents rank their relationships with their kids as more important than their relationship with their spouse. Just as interesting, they rank their job dead last. That most masculine of traits--the ability to go out into the world and bring home a buck--is receding in importance for the men of Generation X. Men's rates of labor-force participation have dropped from just above 90% in 1970 to just above 80% in 2005. Almost a third of young fathers (32%) say they dedicate more time to their children, while...

...virtuecrats face a challenge from Republican voters who back Giuliani on principle--just a different set of principles from Dobson's. For many voters, the existential threat of Islamic terrorism trumps domestic social issues like abortion and gay marriage. A Pew Research Center poll finds a continuing shift in the issue valence: even among white Evangelical Protestants, the war is described as very important by 66%, compared with 56% for social issues. That can only help the former New York City mayor whose local war on terrorism was viewed as more competent than Bush's and who famously ejected Yasser...
...predominantly white, middle aged media talk about young, black men with frequency. At any rate, to say race is irrelevant to the Vick scandal is silly—the fact of the matter is that black people and white people saw it differently, and that means something. A Pew Research Center poll had 51 percent of African Americans saying the coverage of Vick was unfair in contrast to only 12 percent of whites. A New York Times/CBS News poll also showed similarly large disparities...
