Margaret Wente, one of the country’s best columnists, has written an interesting piece on the changing roles of men and women. It’s all about the fact that women are increasingly more successful — better educated, more ambitious, more focused – than men. “Women are flourishing in this new world, but many men aren’t. Men have always defined themselves as providers — it’s the main source of their identity. What happens when they aren’t needed as providers any more? What happens when their sense of purpose is lost? The answer is, they become unmoored. They stop being adults” She quotes from a book on the subject, The Richer Sex, by Liza Mundy: “I’m kind of losing hope in men,” one high-achieving woman told Ms. Mundy. “My husband and his friends, they just love being bachelors – they love to hang around and smoke pot.” Other women make similar comments. I’ve been thinking about the same subject off and on for some time. At first I was worried. There’s little question that women are making great leaps and bounds while men, especially younger ones, seem increasingly to coast through life.

I’m already planning my own distribution hub-to-door business empire, where clients select what models they want for a low monthly fee.
I call it NetChix.
“Provider” is a euphemism for “source of cash”.
If a man’s primary purpose is being a source of cash for someone else, then he is replaceable by another source of cash, such as a woman’s income or government checks.
The moral of the story is that men, especially within families, need to be treated as having a primary value that is not dependent upon being a source of cash for someone else.
Very funny.
Many fathers want to raise their own daughters and sons instead of paying a woman to raise their daughters and sons.
me too, well I have only one.
What year did you get married? Have you met many other women who ended up in a similar situation to you?
>>>Utterly stupid liberal narrative. Without men, females would be wiped out by wolves, snakes and spiders within 24 hours.<<<
You’re ignoring the point the author is making. He’s simply rebutting another article that women don’t need men. His question is merely what if guys don’t care. Which translates into, what if guys don’t want to be the type of man women want to settle down with? I’ve read many articles on the shortage of “marriage men.” Which translates into a shortage of men that meet the criteria single women, fast approaching infertility, want in their future husband.
should read, marriageable men in the comment above.
Yeah, me too, only one, but she has a pack of Shepherds that they she runs with.
That is true. This culture provides disincentive for men to marry. The odds are against them in that crap shoot. Liberals turned them into meaningless ATM machines for women and children. What a loss.
