The Myth of Male Decline

malefeminists:

A must-read from Stephanie Coontz for the New York Times. Why you (and everyone) should ignore (and indeed, poo poo) every article that makes these ridiculous claims.

I especially like that this article points out the restraints misogyny places on males - low numbers of men in “girly” professions, stigma for requesting family leave, etc. Feminism! It’s for everyone!

    When was the last time you heard one of these “male decline” fearmongers talk about any of those problems?

    Decent article! The comments leave something wanting, but they’re not as bad as they usually are on pieces like this.
