When you ask single men in their 20s, "Do you want children?" they want children more than women do. Again, economics drive this. If you're a 29-year-old woman, having a baby is going to seriously blow up your career. If you're a 29-year-old man, it isn't.

Almost all the voices in history have been men, but on this one question of gender, men don't talk about it. This has nothing to do with women; it has to do with men.

You have two things happening: You have the cultural and economic reality of men falling apart and traditional masculinity falling apart.

Marriage is not one point of view: it's a constant back and forth over different perspectives - a healthy marriage, anyway.

The first things that babies can notice is sex; the first thing that you can tell about a person when you see them walking down the street is their gender.

Women become breadwinners, men become caregivers. That's the birth of intimate marriage.

The wilderness within us is actually the best part of us.
