Men are sensing the backlash and are consciously and unconsciously going \"on strike.\" They are dropping out of college, leaving the workforce and avoiding marriage and fatherhood at alarming rates. The trend is so pronounced that a number of books have been written about this \"man-child\" phenomenon, concluding that men have taken a vacation from responsibility simply because they can. But why \u003ci\u003eshould\u003c\/i\u003e men participate in a system that seems to be increasingly stacked against them? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs \u003ci\u003eMen on Strike\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates, men aren't dropping out because they are stuck in arrested development. They are instead acting \u003ci\u003erationally\u003c\/i\u003e in response to the lack of incentives society offers them to be responsible fathers, husbands and providers. In addition, men are going on strike, either consciously or unconsciously, because they do not want to be injured by the myriad of laws, attitudes and hostility against them for the crime of happening to be male in the twenty-first century. Men are starting to fight back against the backlash. \u003ci\u003eMen on Strike\u003c\/i\u003e explains their battle cry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHelen Smith, PhD, is a psychologist specializing in forensic issues and men's issues in Knoxville, Tennessee.
