Educators declare it as central to their mission. Our politics is increasingly defined by the need to represent it.

Political pundits in every election cycle now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2019\/11\/21\/politics\/democratic-debate-atlanta-gender-race-diversity\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">argue<\/a> the need for \u201cmore diverse candidates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet who, in an America that is increasingly racially, religiously, and sexually diverse, actually represents diversity? I do. Or, more accurately, my family does.<\/p>\n<p> Large Families Are Like Circus Freaks <\/p>\n<p>It occurred to me recently when I was introduced to a group of highly educated, accomplished, technocratic elites from the Washington, D.C., area. It was mentioned that I had five children. Cue the incredulous shock.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have <em>five <\/em>children?\u201d (Yes.) \u201cHow <em>old <\/em>are they?\u201d (9, 7, 5, 2, and 3 months.) \u201cHow do you <em>sleep<\/em>?\u201d (Depends on if anyone in the house is sick.) \u201cWhat does your wife do?\u201d (Well, she\u2019s sort of the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, homeroom teacher, and head chef, all rolled into one. I\u2019m more or less just the titular head, though on weekdays I moonlight as an evening chauffeur.)<\/p>\n<p>Often the questions can be more biting. Upon learning of my wife\u2019s third pregnancy, a co-worker asked me if I had forgotten to put on a condom. Upon learning of my wife\u2019s fourth pregnancy, someone asked me when I was planning to visit CVS to buy a lifetime supply of contraception. For our fifth, an acquaintance bluntly demanded to know, \u201cAre you done yet?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even when it\u2019s well-meaning, my wife and I could certainly misinterpret and take offense at the comments we hear. An acquaintance recently told me he had met my wife and our \u201creality show-size family.\u201d Thanks, I guess? Though that\u2019s not exactly a compliment given how those families typically turn out!<\/p>\n<p>When people try to connect with us, it\u2019s often in bizarre, patronizing ways. Other mothers at neighborhood swim practices or ballet practices regularly volunteer information to my wife about birth control strategies, decisions to have only one or two kids, or how their husbands decided to get vasectomies. Look, just because I\u2019ve impregnated my wife five times, we don\u2019t need to hear about what your husband did to his vas deferens.<\/p>\n<p> The Diversity Regime Is Dull <\/p>\n<p>The demographics that our culture champions as \u201cdiverse\u201d don\u2019t have to deal with this behavior \u2014 or, if they do, they can expeditiously leverage the disciplinary arm of the modern bureaucracy to punish their detractors and coerce them into acceptable behavior. Consider the professional consequences if you reacted with shock and concern to learning that your gay co-worker had a child via surrogacy, or that your co-worker was encouraging her pre-pubescent child who thinks she\u2019s \u201ctrans\u201d to pursue wrong-sex hormones. The appropriate, human resources-approved response to such information would be the opposite of surprise. Whatever words we employed, they would need to communicate: \u201cOh yeah, very normal, nothing weird or bad<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With my large family, I\u2019m diverse.
