And just because less savory elements have chosen to use the "end of men" tag doesn't mean that's where I'm coming from.

Feminism won a lot of victories for a lot of men, too. The shift away from physical labor, and the primacy of engineering supplanting macho finance as the new lords of the universe could not have happened without feminism dismantling certain stereotypes about "real" men.

The fact is, men across all the industries I mentioned above are finding their entire identities going the way of the dodo. I'm no fan of macho culture, but we can't just stick our heads in the sand. And I stand by my argument that a man, or anyone really, grinding their bodies down for a paycheck has some strong parallels to prostitution.
