As a university graduate with 2 degrees and a good career how about I provide an alternative suggestion ...

Men in their 20's and 30's are the first generation who were raised to believe that everything about being a man was "wrong" and "sexist" by institutions and organizations that are heavily manipulated by feminist academics and social engineers. These men have now escaped into their own fantasy worlds believing that the world has no "purpose" for them, while their absence has left a large portion of the social structure collapsing around them.

WOW, that sure is pessimistic... and wrong... and I could add some more negative terms too.

In my case the OP is true *sigh*

I've been playing 2-5 hours every day the last few months. What to speak about time I spent reading up on videogames.

Of course, as Kowenicki said, "everything in moderation" is a solution, but not everyone can manage that.

Overall this article is qutie stupid.

In 1970, men earned 60% of all college degrees. In 1980, the figure fell to 50%, by 2006 it was 43%. - Not surprising. 30 years ago women didn't go to college as much, as they were forced to be hosuewives. Women outnumbermen, so it's no surprise that when then get the same opportunities as men, you'll be seeing more of them.

Women's earnings grew 44% in real dollars from 1970 to 2007, compared with 6% growth for men. - Again, not surprising. Women were initially payed less than men. Laws have now made pay equality closer to becoming true, so it's not surprise that women's earnings have grown so much. Men still earn more than women anyway.

In 1950, 5% of men at the prime working age were unemployed. As of last year, 20% were not working, the highest ever recorded. - One word: recession.Interesting that he didn't mention the percentage of unemployed women.

Men still maintain a majority of the highest paid and most powerful occupations, but women are catching them and will soon be passing them if this trend continues. - It's unlikely, though I don't see why this would be a bad thing.

Men are more distant from a family or their children then they have ever been. - Probably not. Traditionally, men have always been encouraged to be distant from their families (due to the emotional contraints men are subjected to). Physical presence does =/= emotional presence.

Men are also less religious than ever before. According to Gallup polling, 39% of men reported attending church regularly in 2010, compared to 47% of women. - This is actually a plus for men, and a minus for women.

The mere rants of a sad conservative. Quite worthless honestly. Is CNN trying to become the next Fox News?

Right there with ya buddy. I have an extremely addictive personality, and a huge lack of will-power. I probably game about 20 hours a week.

That said, I'm in my final year at college, have a great social life and a long term girlfriend, but I do wish I could cut down on gaming a bit, I'd love to do some other things with that time- work out more, take up a new hobby etc. My grades in school/college also took a hit whenever my gaming time increased. 

Everything in moderation is right.

Apart from alcohol :P
