Stephanie Coontz wrote “The Myth of Male Decline” which was published in The New York Times on September 30, 2012, which argued this exact fact. Stephanie Coontz mentions over a dozen facts in this one article alone to prove her main point; that all though there is an increase in “female breadwinners” (Coontz), women still aren’t on the same level as their…
