wishful thinking perhaps?

I can't say that I know which generation that Bill belongs to, but I
certainly see no convincing evidence that the perspective of males in
Generation X and post-Generation X is any more progressive re gender
roles.

Back in the 1970's, I might have tended to agree with you since a
generation of both men and women was influenced by the re-birth of the
women's movement, but that was before the emergence of Neo-Liberalism.
