Recent decades have seen increases in parents' time with children and their endorsement of time‐intensive parenting, but little is known about adolescents' attitudes regarding the time that parents in general (i.e., not their own parents specifically) spend with children. We analyze separate attitudinal measures of fathers' time and mothers' time with children using data from the eighth and tenth grade Monitoring the Future surveys for 1991 to 2019. Overall, the majority of adolescents agree that most fathers and mothers, but especially fathers, should spend more time with their children than they do. Black girls are the most likely to agree that fathers and mothers should spend more time with their children while white boys are the least likely. The largest increases in agreement that fathers and mothers should spend more time with their children are found for white girls. Exploring parental education and mother's employment as potential mechanisms for these trends, we find that attitudes about the time most fathers and mothers should spend with children have converged across parental education levels and maternal employment statuses over the years of our study.

ObjectivesWe investigate how different types of high school romantic involvement are associated with women's and men's patterns of college enrollment (four‐year college, two‐year college, and no enrollment).MethodsWe analyze restricted‐access longitudinal data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) using multinomial logistic regression.ResultsControlling for baseline educational, romantic, sociodemographic, and family context variables, results show gender‐specific associations between romantic involvement and college enrollment. For women, negative associations between romantic involvement and four‐year enrollment dissipate after accounting for changes in grade point average and educational and marital expectations. However, a negative association between women's casual dating with sex and two‐year enrollment persists, after controlling for these factors. In contrast, casual dating with and without sex is associated with higher likelihood of men's four‐year enrollment accounting for these covariates.ConclusionsOur findings provide directions for future research on associations between gender, adolescent romance, and educational transitions.

The speeches of birth control pioneer Margaret Sanger have received scant attention. This article examines the contraceptive rhetoric in Sanger's speeches to international and US audiences. Drawing from scholarship on epistemic communities and the politicization of women's bodies, it uses rhetorical analysis to identify the thematic elements of these speeches. It finds that Sanger's rhetoric in her internationally delivered speeches mostly located the act of contraception at national and international levels, rather than at individual or family levels. Additionally, Sanger's contraceptive rhetoric in the United States created bodies in search of creative fulfillment, while her non-US rhetoric worked largely to construct bodies in pursuit of civic responsibility. The epistemic community backing Sanger privileged and legitimized her rhetoric, helping to construct women—especially women outside the United States—as nationalistic entities and global citizens through whom the successful adoption of contraception equated with a better nation and a more peaceful world. The article underscores how rhetoric, backed by an epistemic community, operates as a powerful tool for constructing gendered political and civic bodies.
