It's not every day someone suggests flagging a column by George F. Will.
"The collapse has coincided with a retreat from marriage (“the proportion of never-married men was over three times higher in 2015 than 1965”), which suggests a broader infantilization."
Sadly, Mr. Will comes from an age with a rather rigid standard for "manhood" - job, wife, big house, 2.5 kids, dog.
Moreover, he forgets that while many people wanted and worked hard for things such as equality, very few considered the possibility that social progress would turn out to be a (nearly) zero-sum game.
Obviously Mr. Will didn't get it. So he blames the victim.
