  1. The End of Men

    "But my perception of what happened in the 70's is that a lot of young women coming up in the late 60's were open to knew ways of thinking of themselves and created a climate that forced courts and legislatures to accommodate their expectations." Abs...
  2. The End of Men

    Today's typical young male who refuses to seriously consider any job collectively deemed "woman's work" isn't likely rejecting it because it is presumed easy. It is not the complexity of it that makes it "woman's work." Some of the most mundane, simp...
  3. The End of Men

    YES!... very well stated. I almost entirely agree with everything you wrote. I, too, find it difficult to swallow -- the basic notion that we are simply getting what we deserve. Granted, nobody has actually said that, but the underlying current of en...
  4. The End of Men

    "If true, than who has "the stronger intuitive knowledge" of male anatomy? Male doctors, right? What are the implications of that when it comes to bedside nursing?" "I suppose that would entirely depend on if having a female practitioner or nurse is...
  5. The End of Men

    "Also consider, that in some cases, that preference might stem from the cultural hypersensitivity women have garnered from a history of sexual objectification, exploitation, shaming, and brutalization at the hands of who? Oh yeah, men." And, there yo...
  6. The End of Men

    "I hardly think that in general, men face fierce cultural opposition from women (their mothers included) when they decide to become nurses. With women, more so than with men, there is a greater flexibility with regard to gender role fluidity, especia...
  7. The End of Men

    I can't help but cringe when people place the "crisis" situation at the feet of men, exclusively. It actually is somewhat of a condescending contention toward all women. It sort of minimizes their role in our society, their input, their contributio...
  8. The End of Men

    Men are afraid of doing "woman's work." YES. Absolutely. Everyone acknoweldges that. Now, let's go a step further. WHY? Why is it so? To change the grand collective perception that doing "woman's work" is unmanly -- a perception, by the way, that is...
  9. The End of Men

    hee, hee. yep, that's me - I likely have more issues than Time magazine! But, my friend, as M. Scott Peck once wrote, it is the unwise man who claims not to. Or wait... maybe that was from a Woody Allen movie!. Doh! However, that has nothing to ...
  10. The End of Men

    It is simply about keeping things real. There is genuine altrusitic reward in doing so. While "winning allies" may not always appear likely at first, I've come to realize that people tend to know the truth when they hear (or read) it. I take solac...
  11. The End of Men

    Re: "When a man comes of age...." Yes, men and women coming of age should define themselves in their own terms; and they should do so seriously for the benefit of the next generation. For a young man, this means braving the cultural message that tell...
  12. The End of Men

    YES!... This dude is dead on accurate, in Tbrd's assessment. He wrote: "Nor is this about trying to argue that men should be regarded as victims. I detest the whole idea of competing to be victims. And I'm certainly not denying that culture has expl...
  13. The End of Men

    Triquee, Good points. I mostly agree. I differ a little from what I think is your understanding and contention that this sort of predicament men find themselves in now in this evolutionary snapshot in time is as simplistic as resulting solely from me...
  14. The End of Men

    It is true that while the barriers to women entering traditionally male fields appeared more direct and overt, the barriers now preventing men from entering traditionally female fields are definitely real, significant and crippling. They are just mo...
  15. What is it like to be a nurse in a prison?

    Thank you for the compliment. However, nothing I have written here hasn't already been written/said. The slippery slope has been well researched and studied. There are few things in this world that are absolutely certain, however, one thing that c...
