At the risk of sounding patronising: you've got it all wrong, dear. In fact, the exact opposite is true: the recession may have been caused by men – a particularly unpleasant type of men – but it is women who are suffering its effects the most. And rather than heralding a crisis for men, as Rosin suggests, the recession is reversing much of the progress women have made in the workplace, and in wider society.
