I agree with this to a certain extent. I think that we, as a society have spent a lot of time telling men that they are superfluous in one way or another and they're taking it to heart, :(.
Sadly, from a biological standpoint, they simply aren't as valuable as women. Sorry guys - it's simple math. If you have 10 men and 100 women, the species will survive. 10 women and 100 men... it's iffy, :(.
In the past, they overcame this by subjugating women, forcing monogamy and generally making themselves indispensable by making it bad for women to work outside of the home. They made themselves valuable by providing the support for the offspring.
Now, we're telling men, 'We don't need you' and again, they're taking it to heart. I'm not sure how to fix it without going backwards, but we need to find some way of making men feel useful again, :(.
Personally, I'm for *equality* without one gender saying that it's somehow better than the other, sigh. I get so sick of women who think that they're better than men simply by virtue of genitalia. It annoys me.
