The source of today's link is again Daddy Types, which is the best new dad-centric blog on the face of the Earth. If you haven't bookmarked it, please do so. Now.

Greg's latest post links to this gawd-awful New York mag cover story on "Tot Therapy." Naturally, it's written by Ralph Gardner, Jr., who wrote the worst at-home dad story, ever last year and well-botched a "Mommy Wars" story a year earlier.

Leaving the legitimate criticism to others (I suspect Gardner again wrote a story that will ring true to the two or three hundred wealthiest NYC parents and will sound like absurdist fiction to everyone else), his characterization of dads toward of the end of the piece (as Daddy Types notes) is reason enough to pound my head against the wall.

Let me belatedly link to this Echidne post about a new study of the marriage market, which suggests that it's getting better and better for educated women. Why do I care? The researchers (read the release here) think that this reflect more egalitarian marriages ... and, perhaps, a more even distribution of household roles.
