Kay Hymowitz takes a sociologist's approach, explaining how women's gains in the workplace lets men extend their adolescence, essentially turning them into emasculated drones: "Why should they grow up? No one needs them anyway. There's nothing they have to do. They might as well just have another beer."
Mark Regnerus has a simpler economic explanation: with higher ratios of educated women to educated men, sex has become a buyer's (men's) market, where men don't have to bother to woo women to get some girlie action.
Any way you slice it, ladies, if we want our financial independence we may just have to tolerate the slacker dude.
