ATMs and cavemen

Modern women are ruining all the men/masculinity with their modern womanness! argues Suzanne Venker, in an article that deserves most of the criticism that's been heaped upon it. Venker later insisted she'd been misunderstood, though her explanation is as implausible as it is unhelpful.

Of the many responses to Venker, my favorite so far comes from Nicole Rodgers. Here's a taste:

What’s at issue here is not whether gender relations have changed—everyone agrees on that. Venker wants to assign blame for these changes. The funny thing is, in an essay intended to shame “browbeating” women, she unwittingly indicts the group she set out to defend: Men haven’t changed much because they had no revolution that demanded it.  Bingo.
