Like think of it as an actual treadmill, like just the world moving more and more like the treadmills going faster and faster. And women are struggling, but kind of keeping up like they're just kind of adjusting or figuring out how to go to college or like if marriages and they figure out like how to take care of the kids and how to stay in the workforce.

And men just not able to like shift or keep up. It's not about total numbers like men sinking, women rising. It's about women rising and men not quite able to rise or keep up. And so I think there's something real about that for men and the anxieties. There's something real about like I don't know who to be without the structures. I don't know – who to be in the world without marriage.

Or I don't know who to be in the world without the provider role or the husband role. It's like without these traditional man roles, I feel really discombobulated and lost. Whereas I think women have been rolling through the collapse of roles for like a century. Like the roles collapse and they just kind of like keep on moving. And there's lots of theories about why that is.

Because this is the big change that happened between the time I wrote the book and now. This is the biggest change that happened. People did not identify as aggrieved men.
