Description

American society has become anti-male. Men are sensing the backlash and are consciously and unconsciously going “on strike." They are dropping out of college, leaving the workforce and avoiding marriage and fatherhood at alarming rates. The trend is so pronounced that a number of books have been written about this “man-child" phenomenon, concluding that men have taken a vacation from responsibility simply because they can. But why should men participate in a system that seems to be increasingly stacked against them? As Men on Strike demonstrates, men aren't dropping out because they are stuck in arrested development. They are instead acting rationally in response to the lack of incentives society offers them to be responsible fathers, husbands and providers. In addition, men are going on strike, either consciously or unconsciously, because they do not want to be injured by the myriad of laws, attitudes and hostility against them for the crime... Content: The marriage strike : why men don't marry -- My body, my choice, your body, no choice -- The college strike : where the boys aren't -- Why does dad stay in the basement? -- Why it matters -- Fighting back, going galt or both?
