The End Of Men Analysis

The End Of Men
The role of women in society has become significant and has started getting recognition. Women are becoming the dominant sex for the first time. Since times immemorial women have been oppressed by the patriarchal machinery, but many years of movements for equal rights for both sexes seems to finally have paid off.
