Reasons for Needing Men (Well, Sorta)

In an Irish Independent article, Betty Cody gives an overview of how society has changed and sends inconsistent messages to men. The article begins with the question, "Do we really need men?" and then meanders along stating some of the problems men have faced with the breakdown of rigid roles for men and women. Overall, I found her tone clinical and unfeeling, and her description of men pretty negative overall (ie, fathers are "not particularly competent" at housework and taking care of their kids). But at least in the end she promotes the idea that men need more advocacy for their issues and that they're not receiving it. It's kind of a lukewarm article.Source: The Irish Independent [UK newspaper]
