Young women in major cities earn over fifteen times more than their male peers
Same thing I've always been hearing. Women in their mid to late 20s are having a hard time finding good men. Guys on the other hand aren't looking to settle down until around 30, and at that time, can then choose from a larger pool of women as dating a younger women is normal.
I knew that the college application process is favoring men but I didn't realize 58% of recent college grads are women.
As a guy, I don't mind the article because it's basically just telling me, if I remain a decent person, I'll have a very good chance at finding a wife.
Chicks need to go back to having babies. Their periods make them disproportionately incapable of being effective managers.
Ha yeah seriously. I mean, I'm a chick, but where I used to work, it was always better to work for the guys. I luckily never worked for any of the women in the group, and they were very hard working, intelligent, etc.... but had a reputation of being tougher on staff members (pretend to be compassionate during a project, but then rip you a new one in your reviews, etc.). It's like they feel like they have something to prove. Plus, add in the monthly cycle and it's probably just better to keep it out of the equation.
A family friend of mine owns his own company and he swears by women managers... says they get shit done much better than men, because they are more effective and walk the walk (whereas guys tend to BS and talk a big game but are generally lazier). That's his opinion... most of his members of management are women.

I was saying that half in jest, of course, but your experience is closer to mine. My workplace has been disproportionately staffed by women in upper management for the last several years, and the level of dysfunction has gone up accordingly. There is a cause and effect here (and having spoken to several of the women in management, they're in agreement with me). It's not a matter of women in upper management, but the ratio of them that makes the environment so toxic. I'm talking about a ratio that is probably around 3:1, maybe even 4:1. Women think with one side of their brain (the emotional side), while men think with the other (the rational side). Without more balance, the emotional side tends to see itself manifested in policies, procedures, and personnel matters. The result is an unmitigated disaster.
I'm not saying we need to go back to the days of giving blowjobs for promotions. I simply think there needs to be about a 50/50 split, much as there is in real life. The balance takes care of past inequities like the aforementioned BJs, and lends itself to a better all-around work environment.
I think it's interesting to look at the difference between Justices Ginsburg and O'Connor versus Sotomayor and Kagan.
The former had long marriages and were raised in an era family first. Ruth Bader Ginsburg took care of a daughter and her husband Martin who was diagnosed with testicular cancer. She also transferred from harvard to Columbia for him. Of the latter one is divorced and one was never married. Career at all costs.
