OT: “The End of Men”: Women dominating college/New Jobs, can’t find marriageable prospects

[poorgradstudent]

[quote=eavesdropper]I’d say that sociological pressures are the more likely reason for the female domination of teaching and nursing. Up until the early 70s, discrimination based on sex was common and absolutely legal…[/quote]
True, although bear in mind that people who were entering the workforce in the early 70s are now in their 60s and rapidly approaching retirement. Obviously there were attitudes that carried down from parents, but no one under 40 today was even alive in 1969 and no one under 50 was past grade school.

I’m kind of a fan of gender segregated classrooms. My knowledge of the research is that both boys and girls learn math better in a gender segregated environment.

Let’s also recognize that education at all levels is becoming an increasingly inhospitable place for boys and men. Men make up a smaller and smaller proportion of K-12 teachers, a real tragedy for the increasing number of boys without a father at home who need a male role model.
Schools of Education in our universities are notoriously run by tenured, ultra-liberal, anti-capitalist and pro-big government types. They turn out similarly-minded graduates to indoctrinate our public school students. Traditional male roles as risk-takers, entrepreneurs, defenders of the family, etc., are discouraged. Students are told to sit still and be quiet, which is far easier for girls than boys. Even the drop-off in recess times at schools hurts boys more, as they need to blow off steam by running around during part of each day in order to learn better. Girls sit still and are more articulate at an earlier age than boys, so are often shown preference by teachers.

These are all valid points but the fact remains that girls have cooties

Thanks, walter. I needed to hear that and it is true until a certain age when cooties on girls magically disappear and the young men who avoided them now start to shower and use cologne to attract the formerly cootie infested girls. It’s a miracle.
