Cato Unbound: Are Men in Decline?

Posted By Jason Kuznicki On August 16, 2011 @ 12:12 pm In Cato Publications,Education and Child Policy,Political Philosophy | Comments Disabled

This month’s Cato Unbound ^[1] looks at the intersection of education, work, and gender, and asks: Are men in decline? As women have advanced in education, the workplace, and even politics, some fear that the emerging new economy—or perhaps some other factors—are dragging men down. We’ve all heard talk of the Mancession, and it’s well known that men are in the minority now on many college campuses. How long will the trend continue?

Lead essayist Kay Hymowitz makes the case for male decline ^[2]; Jessica Bennett ^[3], Amanda Hess ^[4], and Myriam Miedzian ^[5] give reasons to be skeptical. Hymowitz replies to her critics ^[6]. (Men, alas, were so far in decline that I couldn’t find a single one to write for this issue.)
