Feminism: The end of men?

1) To what extent do you agree with Rosin's hypothesis that women are taking over modern society? Give examples in your response.
I agree to a certain extent. I do think that women are slowly taking over but I don't think that they will take over. More women apply to university and graduate compared to the number of males that do. On the other hand, most of the powerful jobs are political. Majority of men are politicians, most men are bankers, most men are lawyers. 


2) Can we find examples in modern media that support Rosin's suggestion that women are taking charge? You may wish to argue the opposite - that men still dominate the media scene.

Men have the most important positions in the world, eg the Government. Women on the other hand, have jobs such as actresses, retail workers etc. However some women are becoming lawyers and getting more powerful jobs, which means that they aren't sticking to their stereotypical role. 
3) Research Judith Butler's approach to feminism. How might Butler respond to Rosin's writing in The End of Men?
