If you know anything about contemporary feminism, you know that the word "structure" is popular. Structures in culture and society explain why men and women behave the way they do.

I found this very interesting article about Lori Gottlieb and her book Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough. In the book, Gottlieb makes the case that feminism no longer means equal rights and responsibilities, it’s come to mean something entirely different for many young women: “A lot of women took...

On February 1, 2010, President Barack Obama released his proposed budget for the coming year. Most commentaries focus on debt, deficits, taxes, and unemployment.
