in 15 years anyway.

- 65% of university attendees are female, and the gulf is widening .. fast!
- Young career women are making more money than young males already.
- These career women are projected to dominate the upper echelon of the corporate/political/professional institutions unlike their moms' generation (they would rather choose career over family according to NY times report and won't drop out)
- the next president will likely be female.
- Boys and young men are much less focused on success than girls and young women these days.

Any comments?

Lol yah we are sooo doomed. Seriously though, all those women in college means just extra money for said colleges. You should be happy that 1.3 girls aspiring an arts degree or the like are contribuiting or else your engeneer degree or the like would cost you much much more. I doubt very much a corporation pays an young female employer more than it does to an young male.
Quite the opposit is true, there are huge problems coming our way, because women huff and puff about how they dont want to work 60 hrs a week till they are 60. That is especially apparent in the medical field, where almost half the medics are women, with little motivation to work traidtional schedules.
The next president will likely be the wife of an ex president. Thats different.
Who said that ?

No more than women were doomed in the past. There may be a shift in power structure going, but these things happen. And, of course, this is not a world-wide phenomenon - there are and will be plenty of places where male domination is the norm. Much more interesting, if things go as quickly as you suggest, will be whether or not women will do any better at being in positions in power than men have. I suspect not. Regardless of our gender, we are all still human.

I don't know if men are doomed...but a man is not doomed. If he works hard, makes good grades, gets into a good school, sticks with it, and nails his job interviews, he'll go far. If he succumbs to what many young men in this country are becoming, he may not. It all depends on his choices.

University attendees: This isn't difficult to solve. Get good grades, do well on your SATs, and apply.

New wage gap: I didn't see any men complaining when THEY were earning more money. I still believe that wage gaps of any sort haven't been based on discrimination since the Reagan years.

More career focus: As soon as workplaces make it easier for women to integrate the two, this will pose less of a problem.

Hillary: There's a first time for everything.

Less focus on success for men: Lead by example and focus on your own success.

Not on my watch. My 3 sons will be encouraged and given every opportunity to succeed in life on an equal footing with women.

all this shows me is that we have a lot of lazy kids on our hands. are men doomed , hell no but if you are not going to put in the work and effort then you will get what you made for your self. if there is less males attending colleges that is because they are not trying and thus back to the lazy aspects of this we go.

Men not getting an adequate piece of the pie will end badly for women. Stake burning badly.

The ladies have insidiously been catching up with the men for decades, and now in the process of overtaking them freely.

Yes, we men are doomed! The end is near! There is nothing we can do about it! Not even if we repent!

No. Men are just not playing their parts. Women see these oppurtunities and seize them to grow. Men just think they have it made. Of course all men don't just sit back. They're not as many ambitious men out there.
