Book Review: 'The End of Men,' by Hanna Rosin

On Aug. 29, at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, a protest broke out during vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan’s speech. Two women, one in her twenties, one a couple of decades older, stood up in the stands and started shouting, “My body, my choice!” It was a brief but intense moment straight out of a 1970s Take Back the Night rally. The women were quickly drowned out by a baffling response from the crowd of Republican delegates—chants of “USA! USA!”—and dragged out of the stadium. One man snatched the protesters’ pink banner away as they left and tossed it triumphantly to his friend.
