I was happy to see E.J. Graff’s lengthy call to action on the “care crisis” in modern America, where so many families have two working parents, frequently divorced, who want to be good mothers and fathers and need to balance a full time career with the need and desire to spend time with their kids. But I hope that this issue doesn’t end up pigeon-holed as a “women’s issue” [if it were up to me, we wouldn’t pigeon hole “women’s issues” at all—family planning issues affect men to, and while anatomy-specific health care issues don’t have a direct effect on men, the more attenton to health care, the better].
