Family Sociology

In this piece, Goldman writes that marriage is an artificial institution that benefits the patriarchal power structure. She claims that marriage stifles both men and women in their love lives and personal expression. She lists the ways that marriage adversely affects married individuals.

La maternidad suele glorificarse y asociarse a emociones positivas: la felicidad de anunciar el embarazo, las lágrimas al cargar por primera vez al bebé, el orgullo de ver crecer a los hijos. En consecuencia, el arrepentimiento de ser madre parece un tema prohibido, porque una podría arrepentirse de no haber tenido hijos o de haber perdido uno; pero no de haberlos tenido. Stéphanie Thomas reflexiona sobre esa zona oscura y llena de preguntas dela maternidad a partir de los testimonios de diez mujeres en diferentes contextos y situaciones sociales.

A blessed marriage between a man and a woman is a social institution that has been practiced for centuries across various cultures. It is a legal and emotional union between two individuals, typically based on love, commitment, and shared values.

È possibile superare il mito tradizionale dell'amore senza negarsi il piacere di perdere la testa per qualcuno? Forse sì, a patto di capire che cosa fare se si è innamorati nell'era post-romantica. L'amore è cambiato perché la cultura terapeutica, l'istituto giuridico del divorzio, le lotte dei movimenti LGBTQIA+ hanno allargato la morfologia delle relazioni amorose. La relazione amorosa non è una sola. Non più. Realizzare un amore, cioè, non significa necessariamente sposarsi, avere dei figli, fare sesso o vivere sotto lo stesso tetto a lungo. Ci sono altre possibilità.

What is 'woman' if not 'mother'? Anything she wants to be. Foregoing motherhood has traditionally marked a woman as 'other.' With no official place setting for her in our society, she has hovered on the sidelines: the quirky girl, the neurotic career obsessive, the 'eccentric' aunt. Instead of continuing to paint women without kids as sad, self-obsessed, or somehow dysfunctional, what if we saw them as boldly forging a new vision for a fully autonomous womankind? Or as journalist and thought leader Ruby Warrington asks, what if being a woman without kids were in fact its own kind of legacy?

Night delivers a litter of eight puppies in a poor neighborhood in Springfield, Tennessee, the week before Melissa Armstrong first meets her. As a volunteer for a local nonprofit, Melissa has experience with strays and plans to rescue Night and her litter within days. But nothing goes as planned. For the next six months, Melissa and a ragtag cast of characters try to trap the mutt with nets, catchpoles, spring traps, cheeseburgers, hot dogs stuffed with Benadryl, and the dog’s crying puppies. They fail so many times that Melissa is on the brink of giving up.

The post-pandemic economy will be different in many ways—remote working, remote delivery of products as well as services like education and health care, and the development of workplace technology replacing people. Families, who in the 21st century are under both financial stress and time pressures, could actually benefit from these changes and see their hopes renewed and the American Dream revived.

Voice memos, care packages, hours-long phone conversations, treasured traditions that go back decades, glasses held aloft during wedding toasts, hands held at funerals, first cuddles with newborns, work lunches with work wives, taking it to the group chat – our friendships touch and enrich every part of our lives. But how often do we stop to consider them deeply?
