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 of
happening to be male in the twenty-first century. Men are starting
to fight back against the backlash. "Men on Strike" explains their
battle cry.
