286: Wonton Violence

Kay Hymowitz, Manning Up, The Decline of the Authoritative Male

Author Kay Hymowitz discusses her book "Manning Up," which argues that the rise of women has turned men into "child-men." She cites sitcoms like "The Big Bang Theory" and "The Simpsons" as examples of media portraying men as incompetent or effeminate. The term "mansplaining" is identified as an attack on male authority.
