When I first read the headline I chuckled and thought, "what new way did guys find to get in trouble now?" Then I read more of the CNN article entitled Why Men Are in Trouble and pondered the serious questions it raised. Here is the problem outlined in various quotes from the article...
For the first time in history, women are better educated, more ambitious and arguably more successful than men.
Now, society has rightly celebrated the ascension of one sex. We said, "You go girl," and they went. We celebrate the ascension of women but what will we do about what appears to be the very real decline of the other sex?
Have you ever met someone who had an immediate and positive impact on your outlook for life? In my life such meetings have been rare but they have happened. I was recently blessed when I met a friend of a friend while out at lunch. Our introduction began in a normal fashion:
“Kevin, meet my friend, Brady.”
“Kevin? Hi! Nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you, too!”
We exchanged the normal pleasantries, asking each other how long we had known Chad, our mutual friend: are you married, have any kids, etc. Then the conversation turned to work.
“So, Kevin, what do you do?”
“I’m in the import business.”
Chad turned to him with a shocked look on his face. “Did you lose your job at the bank? You’ve been there for years! What happened?”
"Shop for today's most coveted fashion and luxury brands at up to 60% off retail."
Continuing in the "wayyy back" theme from the last Word for Thought, I reached into the Merriam-Webster email archives from September 25, 2009. Yes, yes, I know. I need to stay a bit more up to date. :)
