"I have done bad things for love, bad things to stay loved. Kate is one case. Vietnam is another" (Tim O'Brien, "The Vietnam in Me")."It was the nature of love that John Wade went to the war. Not to hurt or be hurt, not to be a good citizen or a hero or a moral man. Only for love. Only to be loved" (O'Brien, In the Lake of the Woods)."Did I choose this life of illusion? Don't be mad. My bed was made, I just lied in it" (John Wade, In the Lake of the Woods).Many critics of Vietnam War literature have long examined the variables of male bonding in a combat zone and the subsequent sexual perversion that resulted from losing one's identity in a group superficially connected by the more macabre aspects of war. However, very little interest has been garnered regarding the residual misogynistic impulses that carried over to American women after the vets returned home. Author of multiple essays, short stories, and prizewinning novels on the Vietnam War (including, most notably, Going After Cacciato, recipient of the National Book Award), Tim O'Brien has frequently been tagged as the voice of the Vietnam soldier. Obsessed with "truth," O'Brien has painstakingly crafted a unique type of storytelling, one that admittedly embellishes to convey the "realness" of his actual war experience - with the "realness" allegedly found specifically in the fabrication. During his career O'Brien has repeatedly defended the intermingling of fact and fiction that makes his works undoubtedly his. In his article, "Tim O'Brien's 'True Lies'"? Tobey C. Herzog uses the release of In the Lake of the Woods as an opportunity to once again examine the role of O'Brien's real life in his "fictional" texts. While he concedes that "all fiction writers are literary liars" because "deceit is funda mental to their art," he notes that O'Brien stands apart from his peers due to the fact that "unlike many writers, [he] draws an inordinate amount of attention to this authorial deceit in a very self-reflexive manner, and his deception is often personal" (895). After considering various possibilities, Herzog theorizes that maybe vanity drives O'Brien's need to plant himself into his fiction: "Is it conceivable that a writer would consciously deflect attention away from his work onto himself in order to massage the ego, attract reviewers' attention, or sell books?" (912).While "ego" goes a long way to explain how "Tim" finds his way into many short stories and novel chapters, it does not fully explain the very "true" ways O'Brien (the narrator and/or character) seems to resent the girls that Tim and his buddies pine for back home. Among all the Vietnam War writers, O'Brien's works most often emphasize soldiers' destructive feelings towards American, rather than Vietnamese, women, both during and after their combat tour. In fact, O'Brien's novels are curiously devoid of sexual assault, even when in a book as graphic as In the Lake of the Woods he records everything John Wade sees during the infamo

1. IntroductionIn contrast to the Unit ed States, in some European countries, fertility has fallen below 1.5 births per woman. Family formation has been postponed to later ages, and childlessness rates have incr eased substantially (JohnsonHanks et al., 2012). Among demographers there is a consensus that low fertility has emerged dir ectly from fertility postponement and is mainly a consequence of changes in fertility timing (Kohler, Billari, & Ortega, 2002; Lutz, O'Neill, & Scherbov, 2004; Sobotka, 2004). Were postponement the only cause of fertility decline, such a decline would not persist, and a trend reversal would be expected. Indeed, most low-fertility European countries have recently experienced a reversal of fertility decline. Yet in all three German-speaking countries (Austria, Germany, and Switzerland), fertility has remained unchanged (Goldstein, Sobotka, & Jasilioniene, 2009; Sobotka & Zeman, 2011). Freijka & Sardon (2004, p. 376) estimated that women born in 1975 might reach completed fertility rates of 1.2-1.3 births by the end of their childbearing years in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. Ther efor e, German-speaking countries are the only exception to the current reversal of fertility trends in Europe.These developments make it crucial to understand intervening mechanisms other than demographic ones that can sustain such low total fertility rates. An emerging area of research focuses on the impact of housing conditions as mec ha nis ms for det er mining f er tility i nt ent ions. For example, Vignoli, Rinesi, & Mussino (2012) showed in a study using the Italian variant of the Gener a tions a nd G ender Survey, a clea r gra dient between t he fertility intentions of couples and the degree to which they feel secure about their housing situation. Home ownership represents one of the main sources of investment for family savings; it provides an indirect source of income (i.e. the imputed rent), it enables future and sustainable consumption (Dewilde & Raeymaeckers, 2008), and protects against risks of eviction (Mulder & Hooimeijer, 1999), thereby promoting the formation of childbearing intentions. Another important factor in the literature on fertility intentions are social network mechanisms. Social influence can help explain representations of parenthood and ideal family size (Bernardi, 2003), social learning mechanisms have been considered crucial to distinguish who forms childbearing intentions a nd puts t hem int o practice, while finally social interaction is important to fertility because relationships and informal support networks can complement the institutional provision of childcare (Bernardi & Rossier, 2009; Bernardi & Klarner, 2014). Researchers also derive fertilit y differentials from the design of family and employment policies to facilitate the reconciliation of work and family (Hoem, 2005; Kaufman & Bernhardt; Olah & Bernhardt, 2008; Billingsley & Ferrarini, 2014).Other scholars have emphasized the role of employm
