Overview

Manning Up explores how women's gains in education and economics have made turned a number of men into "adultescents" who delay adulthood and their traditional roles.

Criitcal reception

Kirkus Reviews said, "A witty and insightful cultural analysis." [5]

Leo Benedictus of The Guardian stated, "Like many other books of popular scholarship, Manning Up also tends to feel like an extended sales pitch for its own neologisms. 'Preadulthood', 'the New Girl Order' and 'the child-man', in this case, are the phrases that Hymowitz would like to see catch on. They won't, I don't think. But here is a neologism of my own: 'slacademic'. As is the rule with these terms, it should be self-explanatory." [6]
