This year, woman became the majority of the workforce for the first time in U.S. history. Most managers are now women. More women than men get a college degree. For years, women have struggled for equality but, now, modern, postindustrial society has enabled them to surpass men in economic importance. Physical strength and size are no longer more important than social intelligence and good communication skills, areas in which women have an edge. Women are more empathetic, better consensus-seekers, better lateral thinkers, and bring superior moral sensibility to bear on the business world. Women tend to be cool and levelheaded. Men, spurred by testosterone, tend to make reckless decisions. In the future, women will dominate the middle class. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, women earn 60% of college degrees. Men dominate just two of the 15 job categories projected to grow the most over the next decade: janitor and computer engineer. Women have everything else!
The unprecedented role reversal now under way will have vast cultural consequences. Men will no longer dominate positions of control and influence. Global culture is already reflecting the economic and political power of women. In 162 countries, the greater the power of women, the greater the country’s economic success. My advice for today’s young men is: learn how to do house work and become a good lover!
Men have clearly screwed up the world and it's time for women to take a crack at it. I wish them the best but have to admit that, if I have to exist on my own cooking, then I will be a lot smaller next time you see me. Tsar Pat
ReplyDeleteA humble comment from a great friend! I was getting worried about you because you were late responding to my blog. If you get as small as me, you will have less pain in your knee. To be or not to be? A man with a better knee? Or, a man with a cane in pain. We shall see...
ReplyDeleteThe knee is already better than before the operation. Just have some complications to finish up. No cane needed and getting itchy to join one of the World Cup soccer teams before the tourney ends. I'm rooting for Germany, of course, and maybe they can use another warm body on the bench. It gets cold in South Africa at night. Tsar Pat
