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]

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]

Not only are women outnumbering men in college and in fields like medicine, they’re also doing very well in trades. In the last two years, I’ve hired very competent female electricians, plumbers and movers. The growing number of single female homeowners has supported this growth.

Men are at a crossroads. They can sit around watching porn, playing video games, and getting angry, or they can level up and work alongside us. Society isn’t going back the way it was, however much they might like it to. [/quote]
Reminds me of this article from the WSJ about men not going to college: https://www.wsj.com/articles/college-university-fall-higher-education-men-women-enrollment-admissions-back-to-school-11630948233
[quote]Ms. Gereghty said she found that girls more closely attended to their college applications than boys, for instance making sure transcripts are delivered. Baylor created a “males and moms communication campaign” a few years ago to keep high-school boys on track, she said.[/quote] 
These boys need their mommies to make sure their college applications are complete, and yet we're somehow supposed to believe they are the fundamentally more capable gender?

And this one from WaPo about women going into the trades: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/04/21/americas-manliest-industries-are-all-competing-for-women/
[quote]The opioid epidemic, meanwhile, has zapped some of the male workforce because men are more likely than women to both use and overdose on illicit drugs.[/quote][/quote]

My brother was one of the “males and mommies” students. My mom and sister did his applications and essays for him. Meanwhile sis and I did our applications 100% solo, parents wouldn’t help us at all.

Brother got kicked out of two schools and never finished. Now works as a bartender in his mid30s. I own a company, and sis became a doctor despite being actively discourage by our parents.

I see the same thing play out over and over among my friends with teenage/college age boys. Daughters are held to a high standard and not helped out at all, meanwhile they’re paying for apartments for their late teens/early 20s sons who don’t work or go to school and just get high/drink all day. I’ve encouraged them to require their sons get vasectomies if they’re going to support them, imagine bringing a child into that mess. [/quote]

Agree, and this is 10 fold in some cultural communities, putting rowdy boys on the prince pedestal. [/quote]
