Gender norms are evolving, and one unhappy side effect of this evolution has been the emergence of the "angry man movement," as Jack Myers, author of "The Future of Men: Masculinity in the Twenty-First Century," calls it. Myers expresses concern that men "don't have the 60-year history of the women's movement providing them with societal and emotional support to cope with the changes" of the women's movement paying off and men considering more traditionally feminine roles. His suggestions to help (which surprisingly don't include "get over it") are to provide a pathway for men in "pink collar jobs" like nursing and teaching, provide better mentorship in the workplace and create better media narratives that combat stereotypes.

Another area where men and women don't tend to differ in the workplace is in their priorities and approach to entrepreneurship. According to an American Express survey of 1,000 small business owners, 80% of women and men business owners agree growth is the top priority for their company. Of the female respondents, 24% said uncertain economics conditions were their biggest challenge to growth, and 62% of women, compared to 72% of men, said they were likely to invest a substantial amount of personal finances to grow their business. Of the women business owners, 57% said they spend a larger percentage of time working on their business to drive growth rather than in it managing details.

The "parental perks" race is well and on! Etsy upped the ante this week, announcing it would offer all new parents half a year of paid parental leave, along with adoption and surrogacy benefits and coaching programs for new parents and their managers. Giving equal rights to new dads was a priority for Etsy, and its CEO Chad Dickerson practiced what he's preaching, taking nine weeks off when he and his wife adopted a son a few years ago.

If you were watching (multiple) weather reports on Monday, 3.14 or Pi Day, you might have noticed the meteorologists were all wearing the same dress. It wasn't a coincidence -- it was to inspire young women to pursue STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). How? The dress went viral earlier this year when a viewer noticed broadcasters across the nation were all wearing it. The $23 dress was shared in a meteorologist Facebook group as affordable fashion that flatters everyone. The women used it Monday to represent the ongoing need for more women in STEM.
