Men are so last century. They seem to have stopped evolving. TheMad Menworld is disappearing and the guys are struggling to figure out the altered parameters of manliness. Maureen Dowd

Do women get anything from men being obsolete? Do we win by triumphing in work, education, the economy, politics and business, while retaining homemaking and child rearing? If that happened then we will be doing everything! Are men obsolete? No! I wont let you be you f*****s! Caitlin Moran
