The End of Men?
“To survive in a hostile world, guys need to embrace girly jobs and dirty diapers. . . . What’s the matter with men? For years, the media have delivered the direst of prognoses. Men are ‘in decline.’ Guys are getting ‘stiffed.’ The ‘war on boys’ has begun. And so on. This summer, The Atlantic’s Hanna Rosin went so far as to declare that ‘The End of Men’ is upon us.”—Andrew Romano and Tony Dokoupil, Newsweek, Sept. 27, 2010 URL

This is funny to me. Today men are competing with women for jobs which can be intimidating, and women these days can juggle a career and be a mom and be a wife. But the "End of Men" headline is silly because women need men just as much as men need women. What has changed is women have more of a voice today then they did 20 years ago or even 50 years ago. Girl power!!! lol
