Work-Life Switch?

A friend of mine shared this article about work-life conflict and how men are experiencing it now. Actually, according to the article, men now experience it more than women. I haven't read the original study, so I don't know the metrics they used. It sounds like it might be something feminists have been striving to accomplish : men taking responsibility for home life, so that women no longer perform the second shift alone.

While some people argue that we need women's studies because "everything else" is "men's studies," I haven't read nearly as much about masculine identity as feminine. Maybe it's time to look at how our shifting concepts of ourselves as women is affecting our male counterparts?
