More than 80 percent of job losses in the United States since November have fallen on men, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

BS. Total made up factoid.

A set-up for a huge jump in the crime rate.

I'm always amazed at how the civil rights movements of the 60s & 70s always seem to morph into exactly what they claimed to be crusading against, times 10.

The intentional devaluing of 'macho', as its derisively referred to here, IMO is the main contributing factor to the current decline of the west.

> For years, the world has been witnessing a quiet but monumental shift of power from men to women<

In West L.A., it’s turning men INTO women.

I will have to ask my wife if power is shifting from men to women and get back to you.

How is this the ‘death of macho’? Men are losing jobs, not their manliness.

I do hope Sarah puts Barry out of a job though.

If only women had the SENSE of men. It was WOMEN who put Hussein in the White House. ‘Nuff said.

Simple rule of thumb in analyzing statistics. Life is a bell curve, most of it happens in the middle. When you see someone throwing around statistic that go way out to one extreme or another, they are most probably lying. When you see a statistic that claims "83.1 of X" you can figure they either have made up a complete meaningless factoid that sounds vague and alarming or that they simply made the number up.

Claiming, out of a work force that is roughly 50-50 men to women that 83% of the jobs lost in the last 9 month came wholly from one group is one of those statics you can look at and say "total BS". It is not reflected anywhere in the hard data. They simply made an assumption and started screaming it. The fact is, in the modern work force, NO "industry" is wholly male or female dominated. It another made up "Fact" spewed forth by the same people who bring you pseudo sciences like "Women Studies"

Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

As a woman I HOPE NOT. WE women are petty and backstabbing in general. I had much rather work for a no nonsense man.
