Income for men declines

Overall, women have surpassed men in terms of completing secondary and post-secondary education with the gender gap almost completely reversed. In 2006, 1

0.3% of males and 8.3% of females dropped out of high school.^[3] In 2005/2006, women earned 62% of Associate's degrees, 58% of Bachelor's degrees, 60.0% of Master's degrees, and 48.9% of Doctorates.^[4]

In 2016/2017, women are projected to earn 64.2% of Associate's degrees, 59.9% of Bachelor's degrees, 62.9% of Master's degrees, and 55.5% of Doctorates.^[5]

LOOK at those projections.....  overall 60% of degrees are going to women by 2016/2017.  Yes,  men, your world is changing.  Get used to working under women.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just out today is that young men are earning 10% less than they were 30 years ago. 

Now that report is significant whether men realize it or not.

I am firmly in the opinion this talks to the emergence in a very real way of women superiority. By itself it doesn't mean all that much but combine it with new CEOs being women and other areas like Congress local leader, family leads etc means that the tides are shifting possible faster than we thought previously.  

If men read this, then you might want to see how you can make yourself valuable to women.  "just saying"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been reading lately about role reversal.  Now this is not a new concept, but consider this:

Men are increasingly becoming feminized and women taking a more dominant and commanding lead in a 'traditional' male/woman family role.  Who ever said that men couldn't be the wife and women be the husband? I mean women are earning more, being more educated and taking their natural role as leaders. What better role model than a strong, successful woman?  This, in no way, means that women give up their femininity or become less a soft, gentle person.  It's just that a successful woman comes home to her 'wife' who has cleaned the house, taken care of the yard and car, and prepared a nice dinner for her when she walks in the door.  Of course, the woman decides when and where (and how often) they have sex. All perfectly nature of course.

Comments?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was looking at this post and thinking about it.  Do you wonder why men's income is dipping in this economy, not to bring politics into the discussion?  No, I don't either.  The economy has been tough for some months/years now, so naturally men's income would decrease.  BUT, in that same time period women's income has continued to climb. That tells me, there is no cycle to it.  Cycle meaning going up and down.... it is just increasing, period.  I think that is a clear sign to men what is going on. 

On another subject, I see an increasing shift toward feminizing husbands.  I write about this in a ficionalized account, but you should see the response I get. WOW.  Even in athletics, women are competing with men (or girls with boys).  The signs are obvious and those who ignore them will have no one to blame but themselves.  Take heed!!

I was thinking about this topic, men income declining.  I think that is obvious, but the real key to this is that women's isn't.  I would leave it up to you to decide if this is because women are still catching up with men in the wage for equal pay argument or maybe..... its that women led businesses are employing more women at equal (or greater) pay.  Either way it is a trend that will not reverse itself. Instead it will accelerate in the coming years.

In 1969 the premium, in terms of compensation, for a college degree was 55%, now 4 decades later it is 116%.  So now, we look at the gender disparity for college graduates and see that most of new graduates are women. So it just makes sense that men's wages would decrease and men will be working for the higher paid women. Men, face it you time for getting what you wanted is past. You had better learn how to do dishes, scrub floors and do whatever else women want from you.

Does this suggest anything to anyone?

More data about men and women

US Females' improvements in education and society

Interesting:
-Young Women's Pay Now Exceeds Male Peers'
-Girls are exceeding boys in school. Almost 90% of valedictorians are girls, college students are now almost 60% female and growing.
-More women than men got PhDs in 2009 and women have long outnumbered men in earning master's degrees
-Between 1995 and 2004, there was a 30% increase in the number of science and engineering BAs awarded to female US citizens, which is 2.5 times the growth of male American citizens. The number of physics BAs grew 36% for women, 8 times the increase for men. In engineering, the number of degrees grew 19% for women even as it dropped 1% for men. The number of electrical engineering degrees grew 35% for women which is 1.6 times the growth for men. Now I admit that electrical engineering is a field where there aren't alot of women but a 35% growth is definitely good. (source: Education Week, edweek.org)

WOMEN LED COMPANIES - new data

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Women Presidents’ Organization (WPO) today released the sixth ranking of the 50 Fastest-Growing Women-Owned/led companies in North America in its annual program sponsored by American Express OPEN, the small business division of American Express. The Top 50 generated a combined $3.2 billion in 2012 revenues and collectively employed 24,000 people in 2012.

“We are so pleased to continue our partnership with American Express OPEN in honoring these trailblazing women and their amazing accomplishments.”

Happy Family, which offers a complete line of organic meals and snacks for families based in New York, has taken the top spot for 2013. Shazi Visram, founder and chief executive officer saw her 10-year-old company’s revenue quadruple in two years from $13.3 million in 2010 to $62.3 million in 2012.

Strategic Communications, a Louisville-based provider of technology services, tripled her company’s employment within a two year span to take second place this year. Kathy Mills, chief executive officer, has also nearly doubled the company’s revenues from $23.1 million in 2010 to $41.2 million in 2012.

“This year more than half of the companies in the Top 50 are new to the ranking and this trend illustrates how diverse women-owned and led companies are,” said Marsha Firestone, Ph. D., president and founder of WPO. “We are so pleased to continue our partnership with American Express OPEN in honoring these trailblazing women and their amazing accomplishments.”

Research commissioned by American Express OPEN earlier this year shows that the number of women-owned firms pulling in $10 million or more in annual sales has jumped by 57% over 10 years.

“American Express OPEN is honored to support this elite group of women who represent the full spectrum of industries and have become leaders within the women business community,” said Randi Schochet, vice president at American Express OPEN. “Entrepreneurship is an exciting option for women, and the honorees we recognize today are excellent role models for women entrepreneurs, focusing on growth and thereby creating jobs and boosting the economy.”

All submitted companies were ranked according to a sales growth formula that combines percentage and absolute growth. From this list, the 50 Fastest were selected. To be qualified for the ranking, businesses are required to be privately held, woman-owned/led companies in the U.S. or Canada and reached annual revenue of at least $500,000 in 2007 and $2 million in 2012.

Would you ask how women led firms have done in the past 10 years?  Well here is your answer, which should be no big surprise.....

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marillyn Hewson probably does not fit your notion of what a defense company CEO is like. The Lockheed Martin chief is so self-effacing that for years Mike Hardin, dean of the University of Alabama's business school, didn't know exactly what Hewson did for a living, even though she sits on his school's Board of Visitors. If you go to see her at her Bethesda, Md., office, chances are good she'll greet you with a warm smile, hand you a bottle of water, and, if it happens to be a Monday morning in the fall, offer a lively recap of the previous Saturday's University of Alabama football game. (She earned an undergraduate degree in business and a master's degree in economics from the school.)

Hewson's good nature belies a toughness developed during the course of a 30-year career at Lockheed Martin (No. 59 on the Fortune 500). "Don't ever underestimate or think that she doesn't have a backbone or position because she does," says Bruce Tanner, chief financial officer of Lockheed. The daughter of a longtime civilian employee of the Army, she worked in four of the company's five business units. Hewson, ranked No. 19 on Fortune's2012 Most Powerful Women list, was tapped to become chief operating officer of the company, a gig she expected to be her last at Lockheed. Then the company's CEO-in-waiting, Christopher Kubasik, was forced to resign amid revelations that he'd had an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate. The company immediately elevated Hewson to the COO job, and less than 60 days later she became CEO, her 20th job at Lockheed. "Nineteen was a quick turn," she jokes.

Genetics and what it means to/for you

For years, scientists have researched the basic differences between human males and human females. While it has been previously declared that what determines gender are the "X" and "Y" chromosomes found in male sperm, this is only partially true. As it turns out, the "Y" chromosome is, in fact, a defective "X" chromosome with one of the legs missing. At first this discovery baffled scientists, but further research has determined that this mysterious missing leg physically manifests itself on the outer body of a male, resulting in what is commonly known as a penis. It has also been determined that human intellect is stored in this part of the chromosome, resulting in the male of the species commonly using his penis (the physical manifestation of the missing part of the chromosome) to make many decisions.

Once the genetic defect was discovered, scientists were determined to find out what other effects it may have on its victims. Unfortunately, since the penis, although technically part of the male DNA, is on the outside of the body, it deteriorates at the same rate and sometimes faster than the body of the male. This discovery led to scientists quickly finding a way to keep the penis (and thus, the male brain) functioning. The result is drugs for what is being called "erectile dysfunction." Another sign of the deterioration of the external part of the chromosome is what is widely referred to as a "mid-life crisis," during which a male will frequently search out younger women (even if he already has a perfectly lovely woman) and faster, phallic-shaped cars. He may sometimes quit a steady job and then attempt one strange get-rich-quick scheme after another, or, in extreme cases, use the time to "find himself." This is all in a subconscious effort to convince himself that he is a young, virile man; the reasoning being that if he believes it, his body will cease deteriorating.

What is amazing about all this is not the discovery that being male is merely a genetic defect (let's face it, ladies, this comes as no surprise to us), but the massive attempt to cover up the discovery and keep the truth from the general public. I think we have a right to know that the male of the species, is, in fact, genetically inferior to the female of the species. However, I would not be surprised if all traces of this article are erased once the scientific community discovers their findings have finally been made public.

(Excerpt from another study)
The rise of women to greater power in our society has long been cast as a struggle toward equal rights and opportunity.  But now, in certain areas, women are actually outpacing and outperforming their male counterparts.  And a growing body of research suggest that all of us, men and women alike, would be better off if women ruled Wall Street and Washington.  Unfortunately, there are still pockets of the world, where women remain second-class citizens—or even worse.  

Excerpt from another blog

Feminine influence is increasing in all areas of society. Among the reasons for this are women increasingly becoming better educated than men and taking positions of authority in government and business, and traditional men being less equipped to excel in the modern world. We could soon see the onset of active feminization policies that will reshape society. How might the men fit into a feminized world? Is there anything the individual sissy can do to advance the coming matriarchy?

If you are interested where I got this, just email me your request.

A sissy could become very important in a role reversal world.  Who better to clean the house and raise the children?  Who better to do the shopping and drive the wife to the spa, waiting in the car until her hour's treatment is done....  there is much for a sissy to do for a woman.

The Future of Female / male relationships (Part 2)

OUTLINE OF THEMES

1. The relationships of female to female will change. There will be more open lesbian liaisons and also, women will bond in order to work together. No more scratching each other's eyes out because we are an oppressed group scrambling for the resources controlled by men.

There will be a relaxed atmosphere concerning homosexual males and females. They will 'come out into the open.' Women will also makes friends with one another because they have to work together in managing the world.

2. Homosexuality, male and female, will be out in the open. People will not ridicule homosexuals any more as they will realize it is not a choice. The agenda of the old boy's club will be revealed. People will see the hypocrisy, prudishness and hysteria about sex a thing of the past.

3. Sex attitudes will change entirely. There will be no denouncing of masturbation, fornication and adultery, nudity and sexiness from the pulpits of the female-based churches. The Feminine Divine will ascend and the Male God will recede.

4. In religion there will be a major changes. The orthodox religions will pass into the background. First, women will become prominent in orthodox churches, giving way to inclusive language and then ideas. Scriptures will be reinterpreted in favor of the Feminine Divine.

The orthodox churches which refuse women equal ministry and authority will decline drastically and wither away due to lack of funds. Those which remain will be seen as old, archaic, backward cults. Holding onto the stiff, anti-woman puritanical laws, these people will be viewed as out-of-date and out- of-step, totally deluded darkened. But since we have freedom of religion, it will still be practiced, but less and less so. In fact, people will leave orthodox churches in crowds even though they include females more . They are tired of the old bible (which has been such a terrible motive or excuse for violence and sexism) and ready to discover new paths.

There will be a resurgence of Eastern thought, (already strong) meditation and gnosis. People going within and finding their own way. (I am currently Buddhist, for example)

The underground religions of Wicca, Pagans, Druids, Pantheists, Gnostics and so forth will come into the forefront, as well as ancient worship of Egyptian goddesses like Isis and many others . Each sect - Christian, Jew, even Muslim, will bring forth their pantheon of goddesses and these will be worshipped in many veneus. People will be amazed as to how Mother worship was stifled for so long.

The media will have representation for the women's spirituality equal to that of men - and then in time - surpassing the 'male God' religions.

There will begin to be a representation of women's beliefs on televison. First, a station here and there. Then a network. Then more networks that represent this spirituality as well as all interests, activities, and herstory gone by. Amazing things will be brought forth, and people will be galvanized. They will breathe a sigh of relief as the old stuffy, repressed, frightening religions of men will exit out the door.
Young people will see options that appeal to them rather than make them feel life is over before it begins.

You will go from fear/guilt-/repression religions to love/light/joy based modalities. You will go from hypocrisy to acceptance and tolerance. From prudishness and condemnation you will have personal freedom and relaxation.

Nudity will no longer be associated with the forbidden, the immoral or questionable.
People will be much more relaxed and mature about nudity.

Nothing about the new behavior will be immoral. It will be a breath of fresh air. Nudism will abound - not considerd particularly sexual and certainly not evil. People will walk around naked in their homes and back yards. Children will also go naked if they please and it will not be considered irresponsible to have family nudity. Nudity will be an accepted way of life and people will not be automatically shocked and tittilated at the naked body any more. Just a part of MotherGod's creation.

5. There will be a great decrease in two terrible things: abortion and child abuse. First, women will now have sex when they want to and will not be forced into it. (Of course in third world countries, this force will take time to eradicate.) Since women will have control over their bodies and sexuality, they will get pregnant less, and at the time they are ready for children, and this will eliminate huge numbers of abortions.

Second, the care of children, now that women are freed up, will accelerate dramatically. Women will have spy cameras in the homes and children will have chips in their bodies (non harmful, just under the skin) which allows them to be monitored at all times. If a child is taken away or kidnapped, it will be found quickly. Child abusers will be dealt with as never before.

6. New safety measures. There will be bracelets, brooches, rings and medals by which women, children and men can get instant help. Men will not be able to intimidate women (date rape) so easily because a woman will press a button somewhere on her body and help will come. Children will have such devices also, and even men who feel they need them. (Everone can use some safety! Think of hikers in the wilderness)

Moreover, since women will have become sensitive to what happens to girls in cars with boys, girls will be given their own cars more quickly than boys are. The girls will be able to take the boy out rather than the other way around.

There will be new kinds of dating. Women will have chauffer/bodyguards, so that will deter intimidation and rape on dates. New laws and old laws now enforced will deter men from much of their violence. They will have to learn to control themselves and not act out their demons.

There will be a rise in the depiction of heras - females as heroes.

7. New kinds of men will be seen as attractive; less macho, more thoughtful, gentler and attentive. The old macho-man hero will change into more realistic characters. It was all an act - let's drop it. Women as heras however, will become common. Movies and television will search herstory for themes of their greatness.

Women will need men to do what powerful men once needed women to do. A new genre of men will be in demand - those who can be supportive rather than dominating and demanding.

Men who are compliant to women will now be an asset, not a defect, as women get more macho and powerful and need simple comfort and support. After a hard day's work in Congress or as a CEO or stock market analyst, a woman does not need an errant, macho upstart to come home to. No longer (except in the worst of cases) will lowlifes sit around the house, watching tv, waiting for their wives to wait on them hand and foot, treating women like servants. Men like that will be invited out of the house very fast.

8. There will be increased women in government and military. America will continue to dominate the world with its powerful presence, and women will be a big part in all this. There will be less graft and waste in spending - less thievery with tax money, and so, taxes would be reduced. There will be no slacking off in maintaining world control against our enemies - as we learned our lessons long ago. A peaceful, agrarian society such as Matriarchy once was, will be taken over by macho, violent males. Women as well as men will be ready for them, and they will not prevail. The thing that will change is we will not foster unnecesassary wars. We will be careful about destruction and violence but will retain our power nevertheless, with a peace keeping presence around the world.

9. Women worldwide will clamor to come to the Matriarchal United States, as well as European countries that follow. They will especially seek to flee the countries that are most oppressive to women. Many will, in fact, escape.

Wealthy women philantropists and humanitarians will get hold of poor girls who are forced into prostitution on the streets of all countries. They will be adopted by these women or selected for training and employment in their houses and businesses. Naturally, these children will grow up, get married and have their own families, all matriarchal, and a mix of nationalities will occur.

10. New centers for entertainment. There will be many new centers of entertainment like malls, partly for the purpose of keeping males busy and out of trouble. These will be frequented by all ages, male and female, and present opportunities for recreation in a safe place. Games, rides, amusements and restaurants - similar to malls but with more activities - will rise up. There will be places where people can join groups for games and sports 24/7, or one to one activities like ping pong, checkers, and chess, etc. People will learn to interact, be friendly, without making all of life as the game of sexual pursuit or avoidance. (In today's world there are few places people can meet for conviviality besides bars, and this will fix that.)

You will not hear sex condemned from the pulpits of female-based churches - unless of course it concerns harm done to another.

Not that sex will be a problem. People will relax about sex and it will not be looked upon as a moral issue (unless there is wrong doing) and there will be less hypocrisy and secrecy about sex. (After all, people are doing it, they just aren't admitting it.)

Animals will once again be seen as Sacred, as important as we are, and not to be exploited and abused. Testing on animals will stop.

There will be serious measures taken against destruction of animal habitat, and animal management that works for them as much as for us.

12. Education: Not only will the schools be improved tremendously, but there will be education and skill centers 24/7. People will be able to improve themselves no matter what their time schedules are, continually learning. Some of these will cost big bucks, some reasonable, and some free, so that everyone gets a chance.

Women will have more pets than ever. Becoming more affluent, they will have much to do with restoring the safety and happiness of animals.

13. Prison and detention: There will be a tougher stand against criminals (who are mostly male.) They will not be let out on the streets too easily. Child abusers, the violent and dangerous will all have to wear implants if they ever get out. People will have devises by which they can detect these implants, so that the average person on the street will know if he or she is in the presence of a former criminal. There will be three different kinds of sounds on your device, or if silent, it will be seen written down. One signal for violent, one signal for child abuser, and another for rapist. Those who have erred more than once will not be let out again but will live in various degrees of prisons or detention centers. Outside, they will have constant monitoring.

14. There will be no homelessness. Homeless people will be provided for and police will stop anyone roaming the streets and direct them to the proper institutions. Male and female will be separate and women with children will have their own facilities. The women who are homeless, abused or in any way in danger will be given safe haven.

Children will have new ways of being cared for as it is discovered that so many foster fathers prey on children. They will be given the option of entering luxury orphanages instead of their family or foster homes. It will be a law that any child who wants to leave home voluntarily will be allowed to do so simply by asking - and will be allowed to live in these deluxe orphanages, no questions asked. It will be assumed they are being abused or neglected, but choose not to press charges. These centers will be run by all women.

A new freedom will come to Earth and men as well as women will be liberated and blessed. The whole earth and all life will dance for joy.

Gender role reversal is something that interests me greatly.  Why should genders be caged into stereotypes?  Why can't boys play with dolls and dress up pretty too?  Why can't girls play football or hockey?  I think parents have a responsibility to see to it that little boys and girls are free to choose ....

If a little boy loves frilly skirts and panties, pink and bows....  what harm is it if that is the boys preference?  Do you think he will grow up to be gay, or maybe feel subservient to girls he plays with?  Well, then answer this in your mind.  Why stifle his creative side?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I like it when I see little girls dressed as boys, playing baseball or football.  Why should boys have all the fun? Did you see that article last year about this past year.  Here was the highlight seen on a sports site....

This little girl is absolutely dominating an all-boys American football league

Why yes, they did use the word dominating.  It was not used in a sexual content, but in a gender superior content. Girls natural abilities dominate boys, so this should naturally carry through to sports.  It should not be discouraged by outdated societal thinking. Boys (no matter the age) are scared girls (women) are going to take over so they create rules and an artificial society based on this.  Look where this has gotten us.....  really.

I think its the boys that should be dressing up like little girls and the girls should be wearing pants and doing sports.  I think the girls would make nice looking cheerleaders for the girls playing sports.

Native American women

Native American women traditionally belonged to a culture that gave them respect and where they had power, autonomy and equality. Native American tribes respected women and sought their leadership and wisdom. Native american women clearly had more rights than early white women. Women's suffrage leaders such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony noted how the life enjoyed by Indian women differed from that of european and american women. Indian women noticed how white females in America had been denied their rights. Thus, Indian women lobbied for reforms that benefited not only Indian but all races of women as well. I believe that Stanton and Anthony were very inspired by native american women and so continued to fight for women's rights. 

Today's society would be much better if we had the values of the original native americans.
