In October of 2003, out of the blue, President Putin changed his mind. In an important policy speech, he announced a new commitment to the issue of human trafficking and then introduced his version of the trafficking legislation into the Duma. After some last-minute wrangling, the legislation was revised and resubmitted to the Duma and […]

Will You Father My Child?
y life is not according to plan. I expected that after college, I would get a good job, find a great guy, fall in love, get married, and have 3 kids while establishing a rewarding career—all before the age of 30. In the real world, I have a successful career that I truly enjoy; I’ve […]

TYPES OF RESEARCH
A survey of the literature uncovered many books and articles examining gender in academia, most of which examined gender issues either at the institutional or the individual level. Institutional factors focused on structures, processes, and policies, or the way institutions, departments, and faculty collectively functioned. Individual factors focused on characteristics of faculty members themselves. Many […]
Surgery
Cervical, vaginal, or endometrial abnormalities that prevent conception may be corrected surgically (Ruiz-Velasco et al., 1997). Scar tissue, cysts, tumors, or adhesions, as well as blockages inside the Fallopian tubes, may be surgically removed. The use of diagnostic techniques such as laparoscopy (la-puh-RAH-ske-pee) and hysteroscopy (hiss-stare-oh-OSK-coe-pee) are also common. In men, surgery may be required […]
THE MEANINGS OF PERVERSION
It is possible that at any one moment a society may contain a wide variety of forms of sexual perversion as I’ve defined it. Many such perversions are so obscure that they remain unknown and unknowable, if only because of the innocuousness of their practices. Still others occur with sufficient regularity that they become part […]
HANK’S STORY
Like other kids he grew up with, Hank, a divorced forty-seven-year-old, began looking at Playboy regularly in his early teens. Although initially he didn’t consider it pornographic, it didn’t take long for Hank to make sexually provocative photos the focal point of his masturbation. At seventeen he had sex with a girl for the first […]
Fertility Drugs
As we discussed in Chapters 4 and 5, sperm production and ovulation are a result of a well-balanced endocrine system (pituitary, hypothalamus, and gonads). Some women and men have hormonal irregularities that may interfere with the process of ovulation or sperm production. Although we do not always know why these hormonal problems develop, many problems […]
Male authority under threat
Although, the main axis of patriarchal power is still the overall subordination of women and dominance of men—my research from both Kisii and Dar es Salaam clearly indicates that the deteriorating material conditions have seriously undermined the normative order of patriarchy in both Kisii and Dar es Salaam. While men are in power structurally and […]
Household Production
If households have gained notoriety as sites of consumption—wasteful or otherwise—Americans commonly think of household production as a thing of the past. Perhaps Grandma and Grandpa ran a farm or a store, goes the thought, but now everyone travels elsewhere to produce. That idea rests on a mistaken equation of production with paid employment and/or […]
