The End of Men - Atlantic : "What if the modern, postindustrial economy is simply more congenial to women than to men?"

These type of articles inspire me to get my degree and be the most successful man that I can be. Let them get their degrees at 2-1, when a sociology degree starts paying as much as a computer science degree then I will get one. Don't believe me, look up what most women are getting their degrees in. Then they complain about the 70 cents to every dollar. Do something worth that dollar first.

I love how in just the last few years, the rhetoric has shifted from

"neither sex has an innate advantage, women do not receive equal pay/opportunities, so we need to support women,"

to the current "women make better students, better leaders, and better nurturers, so it's men's fault if they lag behind."

Women have won. They have won the hearts and minds. It just took a bit of feminist propaganda and a huge gender imbalance in primary education to end the discussion.

I am pretty sure that we will not see an answer to this in our lifetime. That being said, I am focusing on trying to marry a doctor ;)

One of the things I thought most unfortunate were the nursing schools who have programs designed to reach out to perspective male students, but whose students are still primarily women.

Seriously, nursing is a great career and more men should consider it - whats with the stigma? Health jobs are going to be the best to have in coming years.

In the first minute of this video, the girl makes three incorrect statements:

1) girls are smarter than boys.

Outright wrong. There are more studies than google has indexed that prove this wrong. Studies that show Whites are more intelligent that African Americans are more accurate.

2) Girls are better listeners.

Again false. If she said girls process information more logically (as in how girls process information into different hierarchies) and/or where better auditory learners, she would have been correct.

3) Girls are better peacemakers? And balance things out?

I have seen more guys fight over pussy than any thing else, and 99.9% of the time, girls ENJOY being fought over and will insitgate and perpetuate conflict among boys because they enjoy it on a sexual level, regardless of age. In other words, girls like to start shit.

The statement also makes little sense in regards to what issues girls resolve? Social issues? Who's turn on the monkey bars at recess? The statement is too broad.

Oh, and I know this was staged. The boy was coached very well to appear on edge and aggressive to effort to validate the girl's arguments.

As for the boy's side, he was mostly correct, but read off a lot of statistics, attempted to pass off assumptions as facts, and a lot of general history information.

It was quite painful to watch the video I might add.

Nooo... please not a majority of female managers - all the articles I've read mention that they're emotional and hold grudges, whereas guys may be assholes, but they're up front about it and you know where you are with them.

Perfect ... we guys can hang it up, chill out and rely on the women to bring back the dough. Feminism FTW!
