An increasing percentage of young adults (ages 18-40) think education (64%) and money (75%) are more critical to fulfillment than marriage (32%).

The court ultimately determined that “the text of the Wrongful Death of a Minor Act is sweeping and unqualified. It applies to all children, born and unborn, without limitation.

State Department Defends Cable Urging Staff to Avoid Gendered Terms Like ‘Father’: ‘Standard Government Practice’

Feb 23, 2024 |

A Department of State spokesman is defending a recent internal cable that urged staffers to avoid using gendered language like “brave men and women,” calling the memo “standard government practice” simply meant to “encourage people to just to be respectful.”
It instructed State Department employees to use “gender-neutral language whenever possible.” Instead of using terms like “manpower,” “you guys,” “ladies and gentlemen,” or even “mother/father,” “son/daughter,” or “husband/wife,” it is better to say “labor force,” “everyone,” “you all,” and “parent,” “child,” or “partner,” according to the cable.
