Joan C. Williams writes:
Masculinity holds the key to understanding why the gender revolution has stalled. As long as men continue to feel threatened by the possibility of being perceived as wimps and wusses unless they live up to the norms of conventional masculinity, we can expect little economic progress for women.
Addendum: as long as women continue to feel attracted to "conventional masculinity," we can expect little change in men's values. Since people can't help what they attracted to, this will never happen.
