Toss Them a Line

摘要

Indulge me for a moment. I want to pull together three strings into one, tight rope. The first string is an Op-Ed in the New York Times by Thomas B. Edsall from March 16 called "The Increasing Significance of the Decline of Men." In it, Edsall points out that in spite of male domi nance of the economic system there are signs of problems men face in our society today. Non-college educated males have higher rates of drug use, violence and lower incomes. Overall, men are less likely to attend college than women, and they are increasingly dropping out of the workforce. This is espe cially true for those men who were raised in single-parent (predominantly women) households.
