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.
