The End of Men
The End of Men: And the Rise of Women | Hanna Rosin
6 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
A landmark portrait of women, men, and power in a transformed world. Men have been the dominant sex since, well, the dawn of mankind. But Hanna Rosin was the first to notice that this long-held truth is, astonishingly, no longer true. At this unprecedented moment, by almost every measure, women are no longer gaining on men: They have pulled decisively ahead. And the end of menthe title of Rosins Atlantic cover story on the subjecthas entered the lexicon as dramatically as Betty Friedans feminine mystique, Simone de Beauvoirs second sex, Susan Faludis backlash, and Naomi Wolfs beauty myth once did. In this landmark book, Rosin reveals how this new state of affairs is radically shifting the power dynamics between men and women at every level of society, with profound implications for marriage, sex, children, work, and more. With wide-ranging curiosity and insight unhampered by assumptions or ideology, Rosin shows how the radically different ways men and women today earn, learn, spend, couple upeven killhas turned the big picture upside down. And in The End of Men she helps us see how, regardless of gender, we can adapt to the new reality and channel it for a better future.

Bindi is hiding her head because I told her this author asserts on page 20 that rapes have decreased tremendously recently, particularly acquaintance rape. Given that rape is hugely underreported, I have no idea why she feels this is a reasonable thing to say. And now I‘m all done with this book.

squirrelbrain Bindi is a clever girl. 😡 1y
5feet.of.fury Yeesh. the status of women had improved somewhat but sexism is NOT over unfortunately. maybe some wishful thinking naïveté from the author. 1y
dabbe Good girl, Bindi! 🖤🐾🖤 1y
Hooked_on_books @squirrelbrain @dabbe. I‘m proud to have raised her as a feminist. 😬 1y
Hooked_on_books @5feet.of.fury In the opening chapter (may have been a prologue), I was pumping my fist at things. We can‘t lose sight of what there is still to do, but we definitely also need to celebrate the advances. But to basically brush violence against women under a rug when we don‘t even have solid numbers? Absolutely unacceptable. 1y

A little surface and it feels a bit dated now. But Rosin is a good writer, and this book is super readable. I‘d be interested to see what she could do with some more updated research.

Maria514626 I love this photo. Little kids often want to sleep with all of their stuffed animals or a bunch of their toys. This is like the adult version of that. 😁 7y

SincerelyWinona This is so good! The line about love being an “economy of scarcity” for women hit me so hard. I love when I have those moments of realization like, “yes! /that‘s/ what‘s been engrained into me but I haven‘t been able to put words to until now!”. Incredible article. Thanks for sharing! 7y

Super disappointed with this one. She lost me during one of the first chapters when she minimized the prevalence of sexual assault. And there were some anecdotal stats she quoted that came across as racially ignorant. Go for All the Single Ladies instead.
