My recent piece with Brad Wilcox gets highlighted in the WSJ: Wall Street Journal Opinion wsj.com/articles/are-f…

I gave another talk about the Two Parent Privilege to college students today.

And again, during the Q&A, a college student asked me why I don’t talk about porn/TikTok/OnlyFans, and how addiction to those sites is affecting young people’s ability to form healthy relationships.

WSJ spotlights my piece w/ Chris Bullivant:

'The American experiment is in trouble. Deaths of despair — due to suicide, drugs or alcohol poisoning — have surged in recent years. Reports of happiness have plunged. Millions think the American dream is out of reach.' wsj.com/articles/are-f…

New Title IX guidelines victimize women in locker rooms and infantilize us (while victimizing men after the fact) on dates. The exact opposite, on both counts, of actual female empowerment. Wrote about it Law & Liberty in reconsidering Katie Roiphe’s seminal The Morning After.

I'd endorse this Michael Sean Winters take on the key reasons, beyond the culture war, why American Catholicism has declined. A lot of progressive-conservative debates are over what forms of Catholicism 'generate culture' most effectively/ fruitfully:

One of the most consequential developments of our time. In the prime of life (18-55), there are now more 🇺🇸 men & women who are single/childless than married w/ children. 👇🏼

Gallup-Walton surveys: 47% of teens/young adults “feel anxious,” but are happier if feeling 'loved by others,” “get enough sleep,” seldom socially compare, and (therefore) don’t spend 3+ hours daily on social media.

The top reason people don't have the number of children they desire? Haven’t found the right spouse or partner to have children with. Inst. Family Studies ifstudies.org/blog/no-honey-…

“Cities make us. Their uniquely unlimited possibility plays on our innate drive for status and material success. And… they break us, material success in the world’s cities coming at a cost that can be enumerated in tiny empty desks, desolate playgrounds and former maternity

In *part* a consequence of a society in which people assume they are their own and belong to themselves. Also social conditions that make it challenging to find a spouse.

This breaks my heart. I know it's insanely hard out there for both men and women -- but do what you can to marry well and receive the gift of children!

“Young women raised in Republican households are far less likely than young men to identify as Republican as adults.” Daniel Cox ifstudies.org/blog/why-repub…

Why are young women raised in R homes less likely to ID w parents' party ID than young women raised in D homes? Daniel Cox argues:

✔️LGBTQ issues
✔️Abortion
✔️Higher Ed
✔️Trump

But... 'impact on [young] men seems muted'. Y men raised in R homes much less affected by these.
