Protecting the Elderly: Men Wanted!

Most often, helping the elderly deal with the financial or physical hazards of aging is women's work. Daughters or daughters-in-law pitch in; sons and sons-in-law gratefully stand aside.

One exception: Brooke Astor's grandson Philip Marshall. But if Marshall attended The White House Elder Justice Forum as scheduled, he probably found himself in the minority gender, judging by this photo from the occasion.

To be fair, another photo shows three males. But even on the federal level, protecting the elderly seems to be mainly women's work.

Shouldn't men be feeling guilty?
