Be careful what you wish for

The feminist movement from the 1970's succeeded in doing one thing. Pushing men out of the fabric of society.

After 40 plus years of women saying they could "have it all"; men acquiesced and said "great!"

Now we have an entire legion of men in this country more than willing to be nothing more than sperm donors.

Look at college entrants explored in this article.....

One obstacle to such strategic action has been a pervading sense that men -- who, after all, out-earn women in the workforce -- don't need extra attention. “What I’ve seen in my work with institutions and with college administrators and faculty is what I would consider the model gender majority myth,” Harper explained. “It works very much like the model minority myth with Asian American students” – in other words, there's an assumption that all males are doing well. But subsets are underperforming academically – most notably African American men, who lag behind African American women in college enrollment by 27.2 percentage points. Overall, when not disaggregated by race, 57.2 percent of students enrolled in higher education in fall 2007 were women, and 42.8 percent were men.

American women are wealthier, healthier and better educated than they were 30 years ago. They’re more likely to work outside the home, and more likely to earn salaries comparable to men’s when they do. They can leave abusive marriages and sue sexist employers. They enjoy unprecedented control over their own fertility. On some fronts — graduation rates, life expectancy and even job security — men look increasingly like the second sex.

But all the achievements of the feminist era may have delivered women to greater unhappiness. In the 1960s, when Betty Friedan diagnosed her fellow wives and daughters as the victims of “the problem with no name,” American women reported themselves happier, on average, than did men. Today, that gender gap has reversed. Male happiness has inched up, and female happiness has dropped. In postfeminist America, men are happier than women.

How'd those Virginia Slims ads go? "You've come a long way baby". Well, I guess life in the NFL didn't turn out so great.

Now we have an entire population of dead beat males who are more than happy to let a woman do the heavy lifting. That's pretty liberating if you ask me.
