Are Men Becoming Irrelevant?
By Mark Mills
I didn't expect to encounter this subject at What's Next:The Boomer Business Summit. The conference got under way this morning in Philadelphia. It is focusing on boomer trends and how businesses can tap into the boomer market. One of the trends that is being discussed is the declining role of men in society. Some even see men as headed for extinction! One area that struck me is the problem of loneliness, depression, alcoholism and even suicide among boomer men. One of the speakers on this issue is author Jed Diamond. He writes about the challenges men face, and ways to cope with disappointment and sadness. I interviewed Jed this morning and here is an audio report on his comments. Runs 4:48.

It is a fact that many male boomers are discovering they are being discarded by various factions of society: wives and employers, most notably.
I am 53 and have become increasingly paranoid with the number of my friends and relatives facing major disruptions to their lives at 50 and beyond. If it is not being fired it is a wife striking out on her own and leaving Mr. Fifty behind.
It does make one pause...
