In the article “The End of Men” By Hanna Rosin, the writer has rightfully argued on the increasing trend of women in USA getting leading roles as compared to men in professional lives. The writer is of the view that past few decades have seen remarkable changes in this trend. Women are replacing men in all walks of life from managerial positions to top positions. Studies have shown that companies with great number of women managers have great performance and output levels. “The balance of the workforce tipped toward women, who now hold a majority of the nation’s jobs. The working class, which has long defined our notions of masculinity, is slowly turning into a matriarchy” (Rosin 5). However, this has cultural and social impacts as well. The writer is of the view that it is good to see women progressing and flourishing but at the same time if it is let go unchecked it can create disturbances in the social fabric. “It is fabulous to see girls and young women poised for success in the coming years. But allowing generations of boys to grow up feeling rootless and obsolete is not a recipe for a peaceful future” (Rosin 13).
The writer has very minutely discussed the issue of increasing ascendancy of women in life’s affairs. It has boons as well but at the same time its negative impacts cannot be ignored. At one side, the inclusion of women in professional circles has resulted in unprecedented output. On the contrary, this success is bringing problems in social lives such as ignored children, children born without father, marriage problems and many more. A balance is imperative between the natural functions of a woman and her professional capabilities.
