1. Look back to the quote on p. 87 in Stacey that I ended class with on Tuesday. What is she saying in this quote? Do you see evidence for her assertions in the exit poll data?
2. Why does Stacey begin by discussing working class families in the Silicon Valley and end by discussing gay and lesbian families? Despite her argument that gay and lesbian families might be a good model for considering the needs of all families, Stacey does not provide concrete policy proposals. Given her argument, what policies do you think she would advocate?
3. How do the values that she advocates fit with those advocated by your group?
4. Begin to think about the politics of your group’s proposals. Do they seem to fit with any coherent political perspective? Are there particular groups of voters that might be attracted to your proposals? Are there particular groups who might be alienated by your proposals?
5. What role do you see feminism playing in political discussion of family in the United States? I will ask that you report on answers to this question in class on Tuesday.

Remember to take 5 minutes at the end of each meeting and reflect on how the reading/meeting has influenced your thoughts about both principles and policies.
