This highly offensive notion was the title and subject of a recent Munk Debate.[1]
While the question was about men the organisers saw fit not to include any men in the debate. Apparently they ascribe to the notion that only women are entitled to discuss gender issues.
The above munk debate was followed by an article in TIME by the same name by one of the debate participants, Hanna Rosin.
Hanna Rosin recently published an article in TIME entitled Men are Obsolete. The topic and contents of this essay are highly sexist and offensive.
Society continues to rely on wide range of jobs that are overwhelmingly performed by men.
An individual who is obsolete has no responsibilities or work to do. It follows that men are not obsolete. Society continues to rely on wide range of, often dirty and distasteful, jobs that are overwhelmingly performed by men. Those who write blog posts and articles critical of men often do so on computer systems and networks and on infrastructure overwhelmingly maintained by men.
