a great number of men have decided not to play the game?
When you consider that all the new laws, rules of etiquette, social norms, changes in marriage and divorce laws, divisions of labor, etc., involving men and women and how they should treat each other, is it really any wonder that men are just saying "Fuckit - I'm not gonna bother"?
It reminds me of every time I've ever played Strip Poker; every time, the girls would push for rules that "Jewelry" count as an article of clothing and that earrings counted as one each. Multiple bracelets would come out of handbags and girls with not too many would borrow some from girls who had an excess.
It's essentially the same thing with all these rules of how men and women should interact.
Also reminiscent of the T-Shirt that reads "I have the poosy ,so I make the rules"
