More on where the fathers have gone...
A few days ago, Father Nelson posted excerpts from a NY Times article discussing how there are more women living without husbands than with. Well, it turns out that, as James Lileks points out (in his usually hilarious way), the methodology included all women who are over 15. So the answer to where all the men are is...in high school. My guess is that if you changed it to count all women over, say, the age of 21, you might get a different number.
But as he also points out, much of this article takes it from the perspective of relatively upper-middle class women, who may be somewhat shielded from the impact of not being married (at least as far as raising children goes).
