Actually yes,, women do make more

Are you really trying to defend the article's claim that young women have 15 times the earning power of young men in major cities? Yes, women have the edge in some fields, but the 15 times claim is dubious at best.

No, 15 times is absurd. But they do exceed male earnings by a healthy margin by virtue of the fact that they completely dominate the highest earning fields.

And pointing to a few men who achieve a lot is nice, but that ignores the disribution throughout the curve. Add in the hard FACT that traditional high paying jobs for men are drying up as our nation is stripped of manufacturing, mining, logging, heavy construction, drilling, and transportation.

The jobs left behind in this economy are in the feminine fields. Medicine, Law, management, HR, consumer banking, etc,,
Ask around about pharmaceutical reps jobs and see who gets those. And dont forget one of the fastest growing of all career fields, GOVERNMENT at all levels. You might not have heard, but that field is rabidly anti-male, yet clamors for women with “a degree” (anything will do).

Men today succeed two ways, by getting into trades that have been neglected, (plumbing, A/C and Heating, Electrician, Mechanic,,) and by running a risk to open their own business.

Anyway, this point is chasing a rabbit. The main part of the article is wrong. Men are in the state they are, mostly because family law is horrendously skewed against them. Combine that with the mercenary mentality of most young US women,,, and marriage is a very bad risk for a young man today. But this article casts everything as perfect women, and immature men. Trite,,
