Mid-way through the book, Hirsch offers methodological reflection on the changes described to this point, examining generational differences and possible impacts of social and economic change represented by migration to Atlanta, the underlying assumptions about what women and men bring to courtship, and what the evident changes from the past might mean in relation to the rise of companionate marriage, all with thoughtful comparisons drawn from a global literature. The final chapter reviews the principal themes addressed and conclusions she reaches, always associated with examination of revealing insights from other studies, and with self-revelation of shortcomings of an approach so focused on gender and sexuality.

It seems that personal morality and prejudice may also be factors in the policies of our government, as demonstrated by the difference in ages of consent for vaginal and anal sex. In Canada, 16 is the age of consent for vaginal intercourse while 18 is the age of consent for anal intercourse. It is plain that there is absolutely no rational reasoning behind this difference. When it comes to anal sex, the increased risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections is cancelled out by the dramatically decreased risk of unwanted pregnancy. This law is an obvious attack on the rights of male homosexual citizens, and it severely damages the credibility of our age of consent laws. There are several perfectly practical alternative solutions to this age-of-consent dilemma. The close-in-age ex...

Oh the other hand, because [Anne McClintock] understands nationalisms as necessarily gendered, and because of her keen attention to the use of domestic trope in representing national homelands, she cannot simply dismiss the identifications of nations with the family and domestic spaces as a matter of "political love." She shows that the trope of the family works on two levels: "First, it offers a 'natural' figure for sanctioning national hierarchy within a putative organic unity of interests. Second, it offers a 'natural' trope for figuring national time" (1997, p. 91). Consequently, the family and domestic space "offered an indispensable metaphoric figure by which national difference could be shaped into a single historical genesis narrative" (p. 91). Just as hierarchies of age and gen...

There's a huge conspiracy of silence around sex and sexuality and we're choosing to break that silence," explains Phillip Vallelly, pastor of the Winkler Mennonite Brethren Church, of the reason for the series, which has been six months in the making. In addition to the Mennonite Brethren Church, two other churches in [Winkler] are involved -- Winkler Bergthaler Mennonite and Winkler Evangelical Mennonite Mission -- as well as two rural churches, Bethel Bergthaler Mennonite and Plum Coulee Bergthaler Mennonite, located in Plum Coulee, 11 kilometres east of Winkler. Their combined regular attendance is about 2,400. "Historically, there has been the (idea) that the man is head of the household and the woman should do his bidding," she says. "We're seeing major changes, and we're hearing ...

Coming from a family with parents that are somewhat old-fashioned, traditional Chinese, homosexuality was never the topic of conversation," said Andrew, a first-generation Chinese Canadian. He took part in the Ethno-Racial Minority Youth (ERMY) research project. It was led by the Sexuality Education Resource Centre (SERC). Planners with the community-based, non-profit, pro-choice organization realized they didn't know enough about the challenges young people from ethno-racial minorities are facing.

In the recently published "Sexuality in the New Testament - Understanding the Key Texts," author William Loader, reckoned to be the leading expert in sexuality in the time of Jesus, comments: "St. Paul thinks that while serious and deplorable ... same-sex intercourse is incidental to his argument and larger concerns." [...] I wouldn't call local churches a welcoming environment for LGBTQ people.

Hamilton's experiments form the backdrop for this promising debut novel by Winnipegger [Christina Penner]. Hers is one of three releases in a new literary imprint, Enfield and Wizenty, from Winnipeg's Great Plains Publications, best known for its non-fiction efforts. Discovering the book Intention and Survival (a real book written by the Hamiltons about their experiences), [Ruth Reimer] becomes fascinated about what she imagines was going on there in the 1920s. In fact, Widows of Hamilton House is essentially a book about reading a book about a scientist's study of contact with "the other side. This novel, with its handsome McSweeney's-like hard cover, shifts between Ruth's journal, her fictionalization of Hamilton's seances and the narrative of her life in 1995. She meets a medical st...
