Brad, I haven’t found that to be true at all. Women have consistently shown to be highly successful at the end of the spectrum…usually though, her achievements/genius have been erased from history or credit given to the copying man.

I feel what society is missing here is that men as a collective body have not been pushed sufficiently to take a collective stance. I know hnow how differential treatment left over from the nineteenth century belief boys should be strong and girls should be protected has led to much protection, support, and much fkind stabilizing mental/emotional/social knowledge, skills, and interaction from an early age. Also Females are given love, honor, respect simply for being girls. I know boys are still being raised to be tough that includes more aggression from an early age; much less kind, more harsh, intimidating words, instructions, for fear of coddling Males; and granting love, honor, respect only on condition of achievement. It is this differential treatment that is creating a surge of mentally strong women and much fewer mentally strong men. Society has a choice now. It can begin providing the same good treatment for Male children as is provided Female children or society can continue to treat the two groups differently. If society continues to treat the two groups differently, Males will reach a point where from men to boys there will be much group reaction to reclaim power in much more vicious, harmful ways to women and girls. I am afraid as slow as it is taking men to realize their plight, it will require as least as long for men and boys to stop releasing their anger as a collective body when it begins at some critical point. Remember, society is not as strong and continuous in values as it appears. Society is really like a sand castle that can be easily destroyed when one group feels it is in their interest to do so. As Males begin to fall behind more collectively, they will begin to lose more collective feelings of selfworth (as mentioned women receive love, honor, respect - essentials of self worth without qualification whereas men must generate these essentials). This will eventually lead a group retaliation and I feel even modeled retaliation by boys at younger ages. We must begin helping everyone have essentials of self worth or risk losing that sand castle we call society.

The notion that a woman can rely on a man to support her and her family needs to be eliminated. The fact is women are forced more than ever to take charge of their families because their husband walks out on them or he lacks the education, job skills, or ambition that you have, to support your family. The number of single mother households is the highest it's ever been, and this is forcing women to rely on themselves more than ever. With women better educated than most men, I believe women will in a way be forced to take over, weather they really want to or not.

The servant listens to what the master says and sees what the master does; hypocrisy is the revealer of our weaknesses. Today’s TV and your examples are an expression of women’s egos as it inflates like a balloon. As more men learn to listen to what women say and watch what women do, they are gaining power. A power they had lost to they own egos many years ago. Yes, women are the new men; god help them! The servant knows the master better than the master knows the servant.
