		<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately many feminist have not been able to reconcile motherhood and its demands and a full functioning human being. This is evident in the recent essay by Katie Rophie, a diehard feminist, regarding her shockingly loving relationship with her new baby. Some  feminist are besides themselves of how to explain this lapse. It&#8217;s worth remembering [...]]]></description>

The free and open hook up depends on an atomistic view of the individual at the mercy of the fates. Uncertainty and unrelenting angst may lead some people return to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is an article on marriage from the Atlantic that I think is rather frank regarding something I have noticed. Many bright, articulate women wanting marriage find themselves waiting year after year for the &#8220;right&#8221; guy, and not realizing how they might be contributing to their own situation.  The ideal of marriage has become [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another story in the New York Times about surrogate mothers. This time it&#8217;s poor Indian women earning their living by renting their wombs to affluent westerners. The industrialization of human reproduction dehumanizes everyone involved. Talk of rights, choice, and economic necessity are code words that the affluent use to exploit the weakest members of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How much is fatherhood changing? I think not as much as we like to think. Well, maybe I&#8217;m wrong. Take a look at Time Magazine&#8217;s article about fathers who are stay-at-home dads. I&#8217;m not skeptical because I believe that there is some lack in men (or that the corresponding moms are emotionally cold). Social, economic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Read this article in U.S. News about how mothers are rejecting both the full-time career and the soccer mom model. It&#8217;s about time that we recognize something that has been going on for all of women&#8217;s history. Very few women have had the opportunity, or the inclination, to be full-time homemakers. Most women prefer to [...]]]></description>

One was outraged that Vick had abused dogs, and it would be more understandable if he had slapped his wife. Really! Finally, somebody is saying what I have been thinking. An [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My friend Susan just sent me this story in The New York Times about how little domestic relationships have changed. While women have negotiated a better position in the work place, the responsibilities at home remain virtually unchanged. Due partly to self-inflicted expectations and, partly to ingrained gender habits,  women finds themselves overburden with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This article in this week&#8217;s Time magazine suggest that maybe speed-dating, on-line personals, and hook-ups are killing romance. Quick access kills interest. Hollywood is finding itself uninspired by the current mating scene and we are too jaded to believe in romance anymore. Timeless stories of love sound quaint and naive. The thrill may be gone [...]]]></description>
