NATALISM AND THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF MASCULINITY

In this book, Francis Fukuyama posits that human history is moving towards a state of idealized harmony through the mechanisms of liberal democracy. He argues that liberal democracy is the final form of human government, driven by two powerful forces: the logic of modern science and the struggle for recognition. Fukuyama draws on the philosophical ideas of Hegel and Kojeve, suggesting that liberal democracy meets the economic and psychological needs of humanity, including the desire for recognition and dignity. The book explores the implications of this thesis, including the potential paradox that the satisfaction of basic needs might lead to a lack of outlets for human striving and recognition[2][3][5].

In 'The End of Men', Hanna Rosin presents a compelling argument that women have pulled decisively ahead of men by almost every measure. The book explores how changes in the American economy, such as the loss of traditionally male-led jobs during the recession, have contributed to this shift. Rosin also discusses rising college graduation rates, steady employment, and increased presence in male-dominated fields like politics and business. The book examines the profound implications of these changes on marriage, sex, children, work, and other aspects of society, suggesting that the traditional patriarchal structure is giving way to a new paradigm where women are gaining the upper hand[2][3][4].
