The End of Men

The End of Men: And the Rise of Women is a book by journalist and magazine editor Hanna Rosin, based on her cover story of the same name that appeared in The Atlantic in 2010.

In the text, she theorizes that women have won the gender war, having "pulled decisively ahead [of men] by almost every measure."

Rosin also cites rising college graduation rates, steady employment, and an increased presence in male-dominated fields such as politics and business.

Carol Tavris writes in the Wall Street Journal that "[Rosin] avoids the journalistic habit of doing 'spotlight interviews' with individuals selected to support the writer's hypothesis, a practice she knows is misleading.

[4] Writing in The New York Times, Jennifer Homans suggests that The End of Men minimizes important issues still facing women, and that Rosin perpetuates stereotypes about what it means to be a woman such as having a greater ability than men to "sit still and focus".
