Thanks “WOW”. But something tells me your barely-literate rant probably doesn’t negate the fact that, despite a few social problems in both sexes, women continue outperform and out-graduate men in the United States (the latter at a rate of 3 to 2). Surely that has to be worth something in the longer term. And by that I mean, even if some women are in trouble, men are clearly in bigger trouble.

Haha wow I have never read such a biased article! I think you’re missing the ridiculous amount of class many Gen Y men carry and the dropping morals and dignity of Gen Y woman. It is now woman who cheat on men and men who carry themselves with class and dignity. I’m not saying ever Gen Y woman is a slut, that would be ridiculous, but I would like you to really look into the skyrocketing cases of woman sleeping around, fighting like dogs and losing all progress women’s rights protests. Again I’m not saying men don’t do this because they do but the difference is they have been genetically programmed to do so, women haven’t been. Society on women’s side is turning to shit very, very fast due to the images they are being exposed to at an early age.

I can understand your enthusiasm for a female dominated future that the research hypothesizes. I think looking at history, it would be a natural reaction, where a long suppressed entity feels euphoric about its success and uses this success as an evidence of future dominance. China and India throwing America in the dumpsters is another such hypothesis which is based on a similar premise. As some commentator mentioned, what you are seeing is women (and India and China ;) )rightfully claiming their places in the world, however whether they tip the equilibrium in their favor is an eventuality that cannot be predicted with any level of certainty, there simply are too many variables.
I work in a male-dominated Silicon Valley, and given the kind of awesome male talent I have seen, at least the Silicon Valley is surely gonna have its proportionate share of male leaders way into the distant future.

Cool then! I’ll just sit on my butt with many other guys while you “lead” and work yourself to an early grave like men have been doing since the beginning of time. You wanted work you got it! It’s not all it’s cracked up to be though I’ll tell you that much. You can have your career and high wages and high stress life. Let me know how that works out for you. In the meantime, I and other dudes will just kick back and relax with few worries.

Disclaimer: Although I’ve read the article several times, I have not gone through all the comments, so I am unsure if this point has been brought up before.

In regards to marriage being a “cure” for the unmotivated male, perhaps rather than a causation relationship- where males who get married tend to have greater motivation- there is a correlation. In other words, the types of males who get married tend to be more motivated before marriage ever enters the picture and they are more likely to get married and start a family because of their motivated personality, not the other way around.

I highly doubt if marriage would change many of the unmotivated men I see around me in college. I agree they need to “grow up”, but I don’t think a wife will do it.

In my economics class we learned that married men get a discount on their car insurance. This is because married men on average tend to drive more safely than their single friends. Nonetheless, marriage is not what causes these men to drive safer. Rather, it is the more calm and responsible attitude these men posses that draw them to marriage in the first place.

Women like this are so self important, self serving, not worthy as any man’s wife, bitter and so many other things I can’t even begin to list. They’ll end up bitter single mom’s cause they scared the dad of their kids away. Note to men: Ignore women like this and leave them alone consumed in their hate which will be their downfall in the end of things.

These types of postings always have a strong air of the self-serving and are just dripping with inferiority complex. Trying to paint all young men as lazy, out-of-touch children-grown-older is as facile as men trying to cast all young women as being vain, petty, and superficial.

I’m studying towards a doctoral degree in atmospheric science and 90% of the people in my program are serious, hard-working young men. In fact, most of us get castigated by women to some degree for being TOO serious and TOO hard-working.

This whole spy vs. spy thing with men and women is pointless. Gender differences are not a zero-sum game. It takes all kinds.
