The hell?? Because being married to a CEO is exactly the same as BEING a CEO. Just ask Betty Draper.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

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.

I think the college ratio is 57/43 Female/Male and has stabilized there. My guesses for the reason why are that there are more job opportunities for males without a college degree, social factors that make boys think academics are wimpy, and that girls read a lot more.

More boys die in childhood in the US; by the time you're in the 15-30 year old age bracket the sex ratio is 1:1. [link] Since men die sooner in old age (over 65 there are 3 men to every 4 women), overall women are ahead.
