NYT Opinion | Why Aren’t More People Marrying? Ask Women What Dating Is Like. (Gift Link) ( www.nytimes.com )
This is a tough piece, one that I share without fully endorsing. It lays out the problems that women experience with some men, like that men are not getting college degrees at the same rate as women or the lack of emotional modelling provided to boys and young men:
For a variety of reasons — mixed messages from the broader culture about toughness and vulnerability, the activity-oriented nature of male friendships — it seems that by the time men begin dating, they are relatively “limited in their ability and willingness to be fully emotionally present and available,” he said.
Where I think it stops short is in thinking about the root causes of those things, and how supporting men can bring them into the feminist tent.
