Is the Mid-Life Crisis a Scam?

The 21st Century Man suggests that the male midlife crisis is "a pseudo-scientific smokescreen to excuse the infantile behaviour of men who should know better."

Dan Roberts is a British journalist whose writing is quite good. I'm highlighting this piece because it focuses on the male midlife crisis, but I encourage you to read his Men of War post. If it doesn't make you think, I don't know what will.

Dan is intrigued by the notion of masculinity. What is a man now? How do we learn who and what to be? We are taught to discard the patriarchal values our fathers were steeped in, but what should we replace them with?

The 21st Century Man is worth a visit.
