The Glenn and Helen Show: Kathleen Parker on Why Men Matter

parkercov.jpgThey used to say that it was a man’s world, but you don’t hear that much any more. Women outnumber men in college, get preferential legal treatment in many areas, and in general seem to be doing better, while boys lag girls in education and men generally seem to be doing worse. Should anyone care?

Yes, says Kathleen Parker in her new book, Save the Males: Why Men Matter Why Women Should Care. We talk with her about what’s going on, why the condition of men matters to women, and why many men are afraid to speak out. Plus, Barack Obama on fatherhood.

Isn't one aspect of the problem that the notion of chivalry, which is valuable and admirable in one on one relationships, somehow gets extended into the public sphere? That to argue too stridently in favor of men's collective interests is somehow impolite, and not consistent with our self-image as protectors and providers for women? I think it is hard to see how to change that in the short term, but that what is needed is a change where men argue as assertively with women on political matters as they do with each other?
