☆ Desperately Seeking Answers on How to Raise Boys
  + stars: | 2024-06-06 | by ( Casey Schwartz | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
When the British American writer Ruth Whippman decided to thaw one final embryo, she was 42 years old. She and her husband had two sons, Solly, then 6, and Zephy, 3. As her pregnancy became visible, most people assumed she was trying for a girl. When she told them she was having a boy, people treated her “as this object of pity,” Ms. Whippman said in a recent interview from her home in Berkeley, Calif. “There was this real sense that boys were somehow disappointing.”Even her mail carrier expressed her sympathy. Ms. Whippman, a self-described liberal feminist, was watching the #MeToo movement explode all around her.

☆ To Be a ‘Palatable Jew’ — in Germany in 1940, in the U.S. Today

I am sitting in the lobby of my son’s Brooklyn school, reading the diaries of Victor Klemperer. The diaries have sat on my shelf for years — invaluable, excruciating records of daily life in the Third Reich. My son’s school is Jewish. It’s the most reform kind of Jewish school imaginable; even Klemperer might have been comfortable here. But the building has Hebrew on its facade, so I am sitting here because I am unable to concentrate anywhere else.

“She’s been unfairly forgotten and neglected,” said the actor Paul Giamatti, a longtime admirer of Wong. Days later, government tanks rolled through Tiananmen Square, leaving thousands injured or dead. Watching the scene unfold on his parents’ television, Huang knew that he could not remain in China. Two years later, he arrived in Tuscaloosa to earn his master’s degree. “Like in ‘Out of Africa,’ when Meryl Streep says, ‘I had a farm in Africa,’” Huang said, “well, I had a Chinese takeout in Tuscaloosa.”
