Abstract
Popular culture as of late has painted a blissful and utopic image of gender equality in the United States and elsewhere in the Western world. If you believe everything you read in books and see on the screen, then we are living in a wonderland full of female success. It’s the age of girl/woman power — of Frozen, Girls, The Hunger Games, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Hermione Granger, Olivia Pope, Lady Gaga, and Michelle Obama. The past decade has produced our first female speaker of the House, and Presidential elections that found women perpetually in the spotlight as nominees for Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates. Today, we’re being told that if women want to succeed in the work force, they just have to ‘lean in’.1 And perhaps they don’t even have to lean in all that far because, according to media proclamations, we’ve supposedly arrived at ‘the end of men’.2 However — surprise, surprise — this simply is not the case.
