Manning Up: How the Rise of Women Has Turned Men into Boys / Kay S. Hymowitz / 189 pp.

Hymowitz argues that there is a new stage in life, especially for men, called preadulthood that can last for quite a while. Some of the contributing factors she cites are rising average marriage ages, the rising cost of living, and America's shift to a knowledge-based economy that favors women. This book is a quick read, has a more inflammatory title than the content deserves, and is very-polarizing in Amazon reviews. I personally enjoy societal-survey books and found that this one, at the very least, raised some interesting topics.
