It might surprise you that he is the Charles Darwin Professor of Anthropology at Rutgers University, an evolutionist who echoes what Christians have been concerned about for many years. Men are on the decline. Their role in society, and in the family, is less clear than ever before. According to Tiger, the key to explaining this erosion is not the influence of feminist activist groups or equal rights legislation or a decline in family values. Evolution did not prepare them, he believes, for a world of white-collar needs.
Tiger offers numerous examples as proof that the power and influence of men are on the decline.
Women as a group are working more and earning more. Men are working less and earning less. In 1998, for the first time in the United States, young women completed high school and graduated college at higher rates than their male peers. The growth of jobs for women now outpaces that of males. The number of men in full-time employment is falling by about 1 million per year.
