No, this isn't some apocalyptic prophecy. This is a reference to the July, 2010 Atlantic Monthly article about how women are taking over just about everything. Please don't dismiss me just yet as a male chauvinist. I am just the messenger. The saddest part is that even though one could make an argument that the article is biased because it is written by a woman, Hanna Rosin, yet I have to admit there are many valid points. For example, consider these quotes from the article:
"Up to a point, the reasons behind this shift (from male to female dominance in society) are obvious. As thinking and communicating have come to eclipse physical strength and stamina as the keys to economic success, those societies that take advantage of the talents of all their adults, not just half of them, have pulled away from the rest.
"... With few exceptions, the greater the power of women, the greater the country's economic success.
"...Earlier this year, for the first time in American history, the balance of the workforce tipped toward women, who now hold a majority of the nation's jobs. The working class, which has long defined our notions of masculinity, is slowly turning into a matriarchy, with men increasingly absent from the home and women making all the decisions. Women dominate today's colleges and professional schools - for every two men who will receive a B.A. this year, three women will do the same. Of the 15 job categories projected to grow the most in the next decade in the U.S., all but two are occupied primarily by women."
You men are probably wondering what those two job categories are. Brace yourselves.....computer engineer (okay) and JANITOR!!! More on my next post.
