[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I mean, that’s what is happening. 60% of college students are now female. That’s now spilling over into the workforce, and the number of women in senior managerial roles is increasing every year. Male dominated industries are being taken over by women; there are now more women in medical school than men, which will translate to more female doctors. We almost had a female president and now have a female Vice President. And, men like you are scared. I hear men complain all the time how none of those women deserve it, it’s all just affirmative action, or that the educational system is biased against males and that’s why they’re falling behind, or whatever. [b]When maybe it’s just that women are better adapted to those roles and men can’t keep up. [/b] [/quote] This is a good point. Through most of history, women were told they couldn't be doctors/lawyers/politicians/scientists/writers/artists/chefs because they were inherently less capable or that aspects of their nature made them unsuited to the demands of the role. Now things are changing such that women and girls seem better suited to modern workplaces and educational approaches, and it's not fair and biased. FWIW, I think there is value in inherently masculine traits (which can be found in both men and women), but the whining is quite telling. I'm reading a book right now about a female surgeon in 1914, and the other characters keep talking about how women are too emotional to be surgeons. And now we know that medical outcomes are better when doctors are more empathetic to their patients.[/quote]
