The Decline of Males:

The First Look at an Unexpected New World for Men and Women
Front Cover
0 Reviews
St. Martin's Press, Sep 2, 2000 - Social Science - 323 pages
Why have sexual and family norms of American society changed so dramatically in the last few decades? Lionel Tiger presents a unique perspective, offering arresting evidence that the real issue is reproduction, a biological process. He argues that the spread of effective contraception, controlled by women, gives them the sole power to decide to, or not to, bear children. Removed from the process of reproduction, men have begun to feel obsolete, resulting in their unprecedented withdrawal from family systems.
