Feminism: the end of men?

1) To what extent do you agree with Rosin's hypothesis that women are taking over modern society? Give examples in your response.

The misunderstanding could have been avoided by adding a questionmark to the title, but Rosin says the idea never occurred to her. “In retrospect it would have been the easiest solution. Of course, if you take the title literally, I sound like an idiot. But if you take it as provocation, I think it works.” Yet the truth in the notion that the qualities long associated with masculinity, such as strength, ambition and aggression, are no longer serving men in our new economy, and that the seismic shift that will ensue could cause a gender earthquake – not unlike the one undergone in the early Sixties – goes beyond simple provocation.
