I’ve been meaning to write a post about general gender issues for a long time now, but I’ve never gotten around to it. This is not that post, but it contains something that’s bothered me awhile now, and I’d like to address it. I’m not sure why it bothered me enough today in particular, but strike while the iron is hot, right?
Part of this is attempting to analyze and deconstruct what I think is happening. Don’t treat this as canon — Your Mileage May Vary.
I guess to hedge my bets I could just say, “Maybe this only happens to me.”
This article sparked an interesting conversation between my wife and myself. I’m mostly past the hangups I’ve had about gender issues, such as shame over being male, disillusionment with contradictory gender requirements, and other legacy crap from my formative years. Even so, at first I felt a little sad and uneasy at the anecdotes that indicated a significant, negative decline in male participation in the economy.
