In conclusion, girls and young women are not going to be dimming their light and they will not be returning en masse to the "home." That's not going to happen. Young men have to definite a masculinity for themselves that is not about domination and oppression.

The response of AARP is quite surprising — they’re a 501(c)(4) with plenty of leeway on advocacy, and they’re sitting on more than $2.5 billion in net assets & annual revenues over $1.5 billion. If they’re not the prominent voice on this topic, who is?
