End of men

Is this the end of men? – FT.com – the end of men is a book title and catch all phrase that encompasses changes in mens roles across society and in the economy. The end of men encompasses declining participation in third level education, professions and management. The end of men also means a net drop in labour participation, which has an economic impact in the workplace and domestic settings. One of the problems is that the end of men doesn’t define a new role. Instead men who try and make a more domestic role are looked on repulsion. One interesting vignette was the way the romance of Romeo in Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet was rejected by female high school students as being ‘whiney lameness’. So metrosexuality isn’t likely to hold at bay the end of men. What becomes apparent is that this disconnect is where the ‘all men are trash’ meme is likely to come from.
