Present continuous

We are now going through an amazing and unprecedented moment

where the power dynamics between men and women

and in many of the places where it counts the most,

women are, in fact, taking control of everything.

In my mother's day, she didn't go to college.

And now, for every two men who get a college degree,

became the majority of the American workforce.

And they're starting to dominate lots of professions --

Over 50 percent of managers are women these days,

projected to grow the most in the next decade,

all but two of them are dominated by women.

So the global economy is becoming a place

where women are more successful than men,

are starting to rapidly affect our culture --

For a long time, this is the image of American manhood that dominated --

A few years ago, the Marlboro Man was retired

and that's what we have in our commercials today.

is so deeply ingrained in our consciousness

If you think about this, if you just open your eyes to this possibility

You can see it in college graduation patterns,

you can see it in the Icelandic elections, which you'll hear about later,

and you can see it on South Korean surveys on son preference,

Certainly this is not the first time that we've had great progress with women.

it was driven by a very passionate feminist movement

that was trying to project its own desires,

whereas this time, it's not about passion,

is truly coming to an end, believe it or not,

and that's why I talk about the "end of men."

this is not the moment where you tune out or throw some tomatoes,

And this is why I like to talk about this,

then the transition will be pretty painful.

then I think it will go much more smoothly.

I first started thinking about this about a year and a half ago.

I was reading headlines about the recession just like anyone else,

and I started to notice a distinct pattern --

much more deeply than it was affecting women.

And I remembered back to about 10 years ago

called "Stiffed: The Betrayal of the American Man,"

in which she described how hard the recession had hit men,

whether it had gotten worse this time around in this recession.

And I realized that two things were different this time around.
