GOOD says New Girl shows how men are transforming in this new economy very akin to all the Atlantic’s end of men stories.
Fox’s New Girl suggests it’s not only women of the 21st century who are changing, but straight men, too: in a recession-era America, they’re learning to be, or have already become, more like women.
The story references things like “chit-chat” becoming how interviews are done but that doesn’t seem right.

There are no longer “men jobs” and “women jobs” though issues of strength and lifting ability does keep many women out of the heavy labor field of “men jobs.” As jobs become more and more service oriented, men are moving into those traditionally “women jobs” which does reflect a change but women are moving into management jobs as well.
