From then on, men no longer held all the cards." Almost all the job sectors that are projected to grow the most in the next decade are female-dominated and "feminine": child care, nursing, home health aide, food preparation.
"At a certain point in the last 40 years," Rosin writes, "the job market became largely indifferent to size and strength. Upon graduation, they enter a labor market that no longer puts a premium on physical strength and instead values supposedly "feminine" traits like the ability to communicate and collaborate, and in which women are outpacing men. Women are now far more likely than men are to graduate from college or from professional schools. Their disappearance is creating a sense that men, as a gender, are "losing." And women are, in many ways, "winning."
Rosin's argument is more nuanced than the title suggests it's not that men are ending, it's that the benchmarks of a particular model of masculinity-like being the sole or even primary breadwinner-are disappearing. So says Hanna Rosin, senior editor at The Atlantic and author of the forthcoming The End of Men, based on her 2010 Atlantic cover story. Women are taking over the world and men are ending.
