The era of male dominance is coming to an end.
Seriously.
For years, the world has been witnessing a quiet but monumental shift of power from men to women. Today, the Great Recession has turned what was an evolutionary shift into a revolutionary one. The consequence will be not only a mortal blow to the macho mens club called finance capitalism that got the world into the current economic catastrophe; it will be a collective crisis for millions and millions of working men around the globe.
The death throes of macho are easy to find if you know where to look. Consider, to start, the almost unbelievably disproportionate impact that the current crisis is having on menso much so that the recession is now known to some economists and the more plugged-in corners of the blogosphere as the he-cession. 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. And the numbers are broadly similar in Europe, adding up to about 7 million more out-of-work men than before the recession just in the United States and Europe as economic sectors traditionally dominated by men (construction and heavy manufacturing) decline further and faster than those traditionally dominated by women (public-sector employment, healthcare, and education). All told, by the end of 2009, the global recession is expected to put as many as 28 million men out of work worldwide.

Things will only get worse for men as the recession adds to the pain globalization was already causing. Between 28 and 42 million more jobs in the United States are at risk for outsourcing

I don’t want to “think” about it, I prefer verifiable sources and the last people that you want to ask for facts about indian history is usually indians and always feminists.
I can show you all kinds of left wing nonsense about indians, including an article written by an indian explaining that they were actually vegetarians.
There is a good reason you see more men going into nursing.
Socialism has had a far worse impact on the black family, which previous to ‘the Great Society’ had a higher legitimacy rate than whites.
I too am a student of American history but I stay with the non-fiction books.
No.
Integration has only resulted in lost schools in high black population areas and a rise in mixed race illegitimacy and a rise in white trash thug culture.
I think the segregationists feared interracial couplings to be sure but they more feared black political power and with good reason, those living in majority black areas knew black culture even then better than the do gooders did.
and no, black legitimacy was higher than whites even before the Great Society...but it was only a fraction of what it is today.

Where do you kids learn this stuff?
Can you name me a local government in a majority black community run by blacks that runs by any measure well?
I don’t know of any and I was raised in and lived in quite a few and have watched and endured their collapse..
but...a big but, is it ok for a government to stem the rights of folks they think can’t govern themselves well?
lol...it’s not even ok to talk about it really....I think I’m about one of 5-6 folks here with the balls to call the Emporers’ new clothes what they are...most whites just stick to Pollyanna platitudes in public but whine in private
and it has nothing to do with skin color...it’s just cultural lapses for far too long and it’s very difficult to make it all right in just 40 years
and yes Socialism hurts as does political correctness
i will be glad to discuss any white sub groups that underperform too since one can never qualify enough with “whites do it too” when being critical of black culture...or any minority for that matter
