Men need marriage more than women do. In fact, they need it to survive.

In American fertility clinics, 75 percent of couples are requesting girls and not boys.

We can keep whatever we like about manhood but adjust the parts of the definition that are keeping men back.

When women gain access to higher education and then suddenly start doing better at it than the men, that can really throw the prevailing social order out of balance. That's exactly what's happened in South Korea, which is a highly patriarchal society. They started educating women, and then they were no longer the women that society wants them to be. That caused a real cultural crisis.

I think we should all call ourselves feminists.

Marriages are failing, and mothers are raising their children alone. Many women would rather remain alone than marry a man who can't contribute anything to the family's income.

If my own current husband was suddenly a stay-at-home dad, it would be emasculating. That would be hard for me.
