Men Will Lose the Most Jobs to Robots, and That's OK

Robots are coming for our jobs--but not all of our jobs. In other words, blue-collar jobs traditionally done by men. This is why automation is so much more than an economic problem. It is a cultural problem, an identity problem, and--critically--a gender problem. Millions of men around the world are staring into the lacquered teeth of obsolescence, terrified of losing not only their security but also their source of meaning and dignity in a world that tells them that if they're not rich, they'd better be doing something quintessentially manly for money.
