re: #330 wheat-dogghazi

I have not read this article, but the premise us an idea that been kicking around for several years now, maybe longer. It has its origins with some RWNJ or Religious Right think tank, or maybe just out of some disgruntled middle-aged white man’s asshole. Somehow, letting women have jobs that were formerly restricted to men has turned men into wimpy little boys. Needless to say, the usual suspects have seized upon it like hungry wolves.

I did read the article, and it’s totally lame. The author blames the phenomenon of “Child-men” not on women taking away men’s jobs, but on the long period of time and dedication that it takes to get established in a “good job” which includes graduate school and unpaid internships, working insanely long hours and being available to relocate on a moment’s notice. This leaves no time to have an actual life or build a family.
