I have seriously had someone look me in the face and tell me that the reason women outnumbering men in college is a Very Bad Thing is that women have other ways of moving up the ladder, namely, marrying up the ladder. Cause that's the same as having opportunity. Again @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ forever.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Not so, Jessica - generally more boys are born than girls: [link]

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The hell?? Because being married to a CEO is exactly the same as BEING a CEO. Just ask Betty Draper.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
And this is clearly a massive problem that Someone should do Something about.
Import men from China, where they have the opposite problem?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
My in-laws' FAC has gone heavily into the whole ZOMG BOYS IN CRISIS thing, which means that MIL has too -- it's... interesting to hear her happily navigate the contradiction between "liberal society has a conspiracy to feminize boys by making them sit still and do homework and it's going to destroy the USA*" and "those children need stricter discipline and the three R's".
* if you make them wash the dishes they turn out to be gay and not good husbands and soldiers, or something.

I believe the population ratio has slightly more women than men.

More boys are born but more girls survive? Or something like that?

Here are the hard stats on degree-granting by sex, for associates' degrees through PhDs. Women are now on par even for PhDs, and "first professional" which includes MDs, and ahead for everything below that. [link]

I'm fairly sure this person watches/would watch Mad Men and think, "The early sixties were awesome! You could cheat and drink and smoke at the office!" like Sterling Cooper is some sort of utopia.
