It's time for poverty scholars to look inward and for the field to have its own racial reckoning. @doc_thoughts and I argue in @thenation that there are some promising signs that many are no longer willing to put up with the racism within their ranks.

Compelling piece by @lyzl on when divorce is exactly the right option, and why we ought to say "congrats" rather than "I'm sorry."

If we could rid the culture of the idea that you’re not “complete” until you’re married, single people wouldn’t so often internalize the belief that their life, no matter how fulfilling, can’t truly be whole until they find a spouse.

"It’s easy to point the finger at elites, cherry-pick their statements and stir a moral panic about the decline in the marriage rate over time. It’s harder to meaningfully expand the safety net so that fewer children live in poverty..."

“We are the first generation of women to accumulate a significant amount of wealth in 401(k) plans,” says Lynn S. Evans, a client relationship manager at Fidant Wealth Partners. “Why would a woman want to give that up in the name of being married?”

What a shock. Not dealing with gender inequality and instead trying to pressure women to get married and have children isn't working.

"Conservatives who oppose child-marriage bans tend to argue that teenagers are capable of entering into successful marriages and that under-18 bans can force pregnant teens to give birth out of wedlock, rather than allowing them the choice to marry."
