Kay Hymowitz - The Rise of Women is Turning Men into Boys (Festival of Dangerous ideas)

While we’ve been focusing on the rise of women in the workplace, we have failed to notice the dramatic effect this has had on young men. Are we witnessing a male culture in profound decline? Young women are making more money, getting more education and are more reluctant to have children and settle down, while young men are drifting in ‘pre-adulthood’. Women want to win at work and expect equality at home, which doesn’t leave much room for the traditional male breadwinner role. Until young men create viable alternatives, this gender mismatch is a recipe for unhappiness. Maybe it’s time to man up?Kay Hymowitz is an American writer, researcher, and is the William E. Simon Fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research. She is the author of four books, including Manning Up: How the Rise of Women Has Turned Men Into Boys.Kay Hymowitz appears with the support of The Centre for Independent Studies.
