When stories of child sexual abuse hit the media and the victim is a teenager, or perhaps even a little younger, faulty underlying assumptions about the victim's responsibility emerge. Many also jump to troubling conclusions when the victim is an adolescent or teenage boy. Memphis has seen a rash of such stories lately, most recently during testimony in the James Hawkins murder trial. While the alleged offenders may be teachers, coaches, pastors, parents or caregivers, the public sometimes believes the victim is blameworthy as well.

Transactions that claim inappropriate tax benefits are a perennial problem. When the IRS claims a transaction is abusive, courts generally examine whether the taxpayer had a business purpose and whether the transaction had economic substance (essentially a prospect of profit before taxes). This two-pronged "economic substance doctrine" developed from a series of Supreme Court cases. Unfortunately, the economic substance doctrine provides a poor proxy for the real question, which was the focus of the early cases-whether the claimed tax results are consistent with Congress's intent. One important drawback of the shift from a focus on congressional intent to a focus on the taxpayer's intent and the prospect of pre-tax profit is a doctrine that is much easier for taxpayers to manipulate. T...

I was concerned with how much of their time these boy-girl relationships seemed to occupy. They spoke of relationships that they witnessed between their mothers, aunts and cousins. I heard stories of how these girls witnessed sexual encounters between adults, and others their age. They talked about it so casually that it was scary. The more frightening thing was that these situations were shaping these young girls views on men, sex, relationships and themselves. I recalled this time spent with these young girls the other day when I heard a local professional speak of her own encounter with an abusive relationship, as well as her witnessing one that ended in the death of an associate. She was one of several women being honored at the Black Women's Contracting Association luncheon, of whi...
[Tim Burton] is all grown up and getting serious with this wildly scattershot tale of a dying old man and serial liar (Albert Finney) and his estranged son (Billy Crudup), who arrives at his father's deathbed determined to separate fact from fiction in the stories of his father's life. It's all meant to be uplifting and sweet and moralistic, but Burton's wild eye and chilly directing style are muffled here in favor of Forrest Gump-ish melancholy and cheesy, obvious attempts at heartstring-yanking that contrasts with his previous, darker work. It's as though the iconoclastic director was trying to play to the lowest common denominator, and tosses out his usual weird schtick in favor of cloying folksiness. That's not a good thing for fans of Burton's work, and Big Fish makes Edward Scisso...

In the 1920s and 1930s, the young men who worked in welfare and child protection were among the first to negotiate professional environments in which women wielded considerable authority. This article uses their descriptions of encounters with clients to examine the ways in which these men understood manliness in such a context, and the kinds of anxieties they dramatized in their case files. It argues that many defined and defended a form of masculinity that continued to depend upon the subordination of women-identified as "naggers"-and the rigorous rescue of boys from effeminacy.
