Having read through the article and than the comments, I can't say much more than that the issue is more complicated. The article has in my opinion cut corners in order to generalise and let it become attractive, a bit hype like.
I don't think that there is a relation between nutcases shooting at schools and the feminization of men.
Men have always been the caretakers of women (battles to gain land and ,levy taxes by force, women were the ones who ran in the forgone centuries the (household) economics. Things started to change in the 17th century when international trade increased. In the recent decades women became again more educated and are slowly taking over the major spots in public live. Ms yellen as president of the federal reserve, Christine Lagarde as president of the IMF, Angela Merkel as president of Germany, as e few examples of women taking serious posts. Also more managers, CEO of Shell and HP.
In one of the August editions of Newsweek in 2010, it was indicated that after the financial crisis, women would have many of the most important spots in the financial world. Newsweek was right.
Presently there is a change going on, a redefining of the interaction between men an women. I just started of n the book Revolution Song by Russel Shorto. He does address this problem also, but I do doubt whether 500 pages will give an answer. Let be an article as quoted by Moon.
