When Factory Jobs Vanish, Men Become Less Desirable Partners
It sounds like manufacturing jobs left, so the men have no jobs, but the women still have jobs. Yes?<p>Why won't the men compete for the jobs the women are getting?<p>Alternatively, the men could stay home and take care of the kids while the women work at the jobs they have, providing the stable two-parent household.<p>It seems like a large portion of the problem is tied up in men's idea of what constitutes a "manly" role. I don't mean to trivialize the difficulty of changing one's perspective, but changing diapers <i>has</i> to be a better option than dying from an Oxycontin overdose doesn't it?
