In this interview, we'll discuss The War on Men. Suzanne talks about how over the last four decades, America has witnessed a profound change in marriage and gender relations. As a result, women pursue independence in a way that was previ¬ously unimaginable. In addition, technological advances and an economic boom have changed the way people live, work, and communicate. Suzanne explains how modern feminism, with its relentless talk of hapless housewives, female empowerment, and gender role reversal, has severed the bond between the sexes, pitting men and women against one another. She addresses the myth of gender equality. We'll talk about how men today have no respect for women and vice versa. Marriage has turned into a competition rather than a partnership and dating is defunct. She points out how young children and demanding careers are incompatible as women today outsource the care of their children. Today's modern woman wraps her identity up in her job rather than her family. She discusses how insulting it is to suggest that all women lived miserable lives previous to the feminist movement. Yet today the majority of women still choose family and marriage over work. Later, she talks about a mind shift to end the war on men.
