But there are lots of family stories intertwined in the Palin saga, some nicer -- but perhaps not real-er --than others. For example, allowing two unmarried teenagers to spend the night in the same bed would be something that would be (is) OK in *my* family (although the bedside table would be fully stocked with condoms!), but I doubt that it is what James Dobson or the Palins mean by family values. <br /><br />You and I probably disagree that childbearing is inherently virtuous, but I do get your point -- I just don't think it trumps all the rest of the stuff going on <I>chez</I> Palin.<br /><br />And Jack -- I'm a lesbian. All comments about men as objects of female sexual desire have to be understood as ironic.Tenured Radicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05703980598547163290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-14725387886042469112009-05-30T08:17:05.795-05:002009-05-30T08:17:05.795-05:00The real family values story from Wasilla is, of c...The real family values story from Wasilla is, of course, that both Sarah and her daughter chose to carry their pregnancies to term under difficult circumstances, thereby choosing life.

Here in Southeastern Michigan as we look for new ways to delicately ask our friends who still have auto industry jobs how they're doing, the "hot-button" issues (and the money and effort spent on them) are becoming increasingly irrelevant. I speak as Catholic whose diocese spent a lot of money last fall trying to defeat an initiative to open the state to stem cell research - and spent a lot of money a few years ago helping to get an anti-gay marriage initiative passed. There really comes a point where one wants to say, "Oh, come on! There are people going without food and medical care and in danger of losing their homes! Let's worry about that and not about who they cuddle with at night!"Liz in Ypsilantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16551683050101411764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-13343188523316815502009-05-28T10:19:29.754-05:002009-05-28T10:19:29.754-05:00I have a friend who grew up in Wellesley, Mass.

My friend was offered that scholarship--free tuition for 4 years. Her father offered her a new Mustang convertible if she took the scholarship and went to Wellesley. She went to Haverford instead. <br /><br />I think she, too, should have taken the car (and the Wellesley degree!) I like your scheme for saving Detroit and marriage at the same time. Why you're not in Obama's (or Schwartzenegger's) cabinet is indeed a mystery to me, too.Historiannhttp://historiann.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-9493523098097242852009-05-28T10:04:25.269-05:002009-05-28T10:04:25.269-05:00Great Post. I've heard people say in passing that ...Great Post. I've heard people say in passing that the drive towards gay marriage actually represents a conservative turn in the gay rights movement (versus earlier attempts in the sexual revolution to, for example, do away with marriage altogether). Is that correct? And if so, then might not the preclusion of gay marriage give gay rights advocates no other option than to oppose state-sanctioned marriage altogether? (After all, if marriage is defined as only heterosexual, then it is prima facie discriminatory to grant it special rights.) If that's true, then there's an interesting irony that the anti gay marriage folks will actually be the catalyst in disestablishing the institution of marriage.Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-7926236021201262252009-05-28T09:55:37.379-05:002009-05-28T09:55:37.379-05:00Bravo.

I am a social psychologist and I have done studies asking people who are strongly committed to family values to define them in an open ended questionnaire. Many of them answer by simply writing "family values", while others write one or two sentences about gender roles. It interests me that such passionate advocates of family values seem unable to clearly articulate just what family values are. When I ask about other values, such as egalitarianism, or protestant work ethic people write pages of stuff. <br /><br />Speaking of gender roles, check out the "Men in Power" article (and comments) in the chronicle. I would love to see a radical commentary on that piece!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-79749914363787127892009-05-28T09:44:02.757-05:002009-05-28T09:44:02.757-05:00I think California has forgotten all about the leg...I think California has forgotten all about the legal hole (and I think you're right about that) because of the big ol' financial hole.
