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.

I can already see the Newsweak cover. “We’re All Girlymen Now.”

Most of the outsourcing done at my company has been in IT and accounting support. What we have seen is large numbers of American women being laid off and replaced with companies in India who all seem to only employee men.

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

Liberals are “into” static scoring and have no idea what dynamic scoring is.

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.
To: skeeter
Amen! I do not want a man who is going to hide behind MY skirt if we are threatened! Any woman who says they want a “girly” “sensitive” “metrosexual” man will only want him until she NEEDS him to BE A MAN!
Better to deal with the burping and farting and other “male bonding calls” they make, leaving the seat up, and dropping clothes outside the hamper, cause when the chips are down, he will stand between you and the danger and give his life to save yours!
Macho men are also waaaayyyyyyy better in the sack! Hairy backs rule!
To: wombtotomb
Excellent point, except real men don’t burp & fart around the womenfolk.

I will have to ask my wife if power is shifting from men to women and get back to you.
To: skeeter
As I said, they make. They just talk and joke about it in my presence, but I have to forgive them. I am married to a man and I have 3 sons. It is testosterone city around here LOL.....

Regardless of whether it’s claims are true or not, the thing that stands out in the article is the barely suppressed glee at the preponderance of men losing their jobs.
I can only imagine how different the tone of the article would have been were the opposite true!
Eventually we will pay a price for the wussification of our culture, and it’ll be at the hands of one run by real men.

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. and I'm always amazed that our culture has turned out about just like the Jim Crow era segregationists feared it would.
