I've noticed this about the younger generation (under 30). The young women seem to be more ambitious and goal driven.
Video games, fantasy football among other distractions IMO are derailing men early in their life from where they should be trying to get to.
My daughter and her husband I think are great examples. They both have the same degree, they are the same age (28) but she has passed him up careerwise.
She doesn't play video games, doesn't care about sports. She spends more time networking and I think human relationships are much more important to her. He's a great guy but spends a lot of time playing games and other nonsense.
Can Video games and fantasy sports be speeding up a possible future of female leadership?

As long as we are generalizing with broad stereotypes, is makeup, cosmo and dreaming about weddings holding women back?

You aren't very open minded about how people spend their free time.

And where, exactly, should this younger generation of men be trying to get?

It's been shown that whenever women enter a male-dominated field, the men drop out. Men clearly see no point in competing with women, and that's not just my opinion, that's an observable trend in social science.
It raises the question: why do men compete at all? what in the hell are men competing for, exactly?
And, in my opinion , the answer is obvious: men try to impress women. As women's earnings rise, "impressing women with your job" becomes far more trouble than it's worth.
Men are switching mating strategies, they are hitting the gym, working on how they look, because women no longer demand that we "bring home the bacon." If women will sleep with you because they like how you look, then what's the point of working hard?

Where do you get any of this? Men don't work hard simply to impress women. Could you have come up with a more sexist view?
well, that's a good point, i failed to account for homosexuals.
Some men actually have a sense of accomplishment and have a sense of personal pride in being good at what they do. I know that will be difficult for you to understand, given how you seem to have a sexist way of thinking and all.
Some men actually have a sense of accomplishment and have a sense of personal pride in being good at what they do.
so then, if what you're saying is true --- if men act purely for the sense of accomplishment, and not to impress women --- then being good at video games should be perfectly sufficient to make a person happy and successful.
Because in the end, it's all about a personal sense of accomplishment, right? What women think doesn't factor into a man's career calculation at all, right? I mean that's obviously why Wall Street executives are so often women.
There was an article in Cosmo this month about women being more ambitious than men, and what impact it had on their relationships. It was an interesting read.
I don't see a real problem with video games and other diversions during leisure time, though. As long as a person can get everything done which they need to do, who cares how they spend their free time?
I don't have a lot of respect for women who go around bragging that they make more than their husband...my sister is always going on about how she makes 70 percent of the income in their house (well, 100 percent since her hubby got downsized). If she were more supportive of her husband and more encouraging of his abilities, he would do better.
