Are women taking over the world from the previous centuries?
A little background. Every since civilization started as a hunter-gathering society, men and women took different social roles depending on the large development period of human fetuses. Men took the role as the hunter while the women tended the home.
As cities grew in the river valleys and cities along with complex hierarchal structures grew, so did the separation and specialization of labor between males and females grow. This trend would continue well into the 1900s.
Historically speaking, the use of men in warfare has always pointed to one particular point of interest. Since relatively few men are needed to father the next generation, societies can afford to risk the men in dangerous endeavors such as war. Thus, the intrinsic value of men was originally lower than that of women.
As the feminist movement grew and started demand more rights for women, women became more empowered and started closing the wage gap between males and females. In addition, they also began to take more positions of power (as in the case of German Chancellor Merkel) along with diversifying job positions into traditionally male-dominated fields such as engineering, government positions, and law. Indeed, just recently in the United States, a women ran for the Democratic Nomination and almost won.
But one question that many people ask is whether the rise of women has come at the expense of males.

Women now comprise a majority in almost every college, with the average undergraduate population being 56% women on average. There are many pundits who attempted to explain this phenomenon one way or another, but it comes down to the one question.
Has feminism gone beyond its self-stated goal of raising the social and culture views of women to the same level of men?
Will we eventually see a world dominated by females? Does anyone have any idea what such a world would be like?

Just another cycle of life . . .

How does enrollment in college have anything to do with this subject? Are you suggesting that women shouldn't be allowed in college? Or that just because they're female they're getting into colleges?
|
Yup, women are gonna take over this world and we men are going to be forced into slavery for the upcoming Amazonian era where we grovel at their feet and get bitch-slapped for simply "not understanding".
Seriously, now. Do you honestly think women are gonna take over the world? They're just gaining more respect/equality.

I wouldn't mind a college full of women :D And you, sir, are a sexist. what does it matter, like what ilovezil said, they're getting the respect and equality, which should be deserved.

Yes, it hasnt been about that for a long time. Modern feminism is closer to male chauvinism now. It is about getting more rights for woman then men have.
edit: More woman in colleges has to do with many men just going straight in to construction or other physical labour jobs straight out of high school. They can make more money doing that then going to college. Woman are less likely to see that as a viable option since they are physically weaker than men on average.

stupidest thread I ever didn't read.
Of course men still rule the planet. Don't pay attention to feminist crap.. we have centuries of dominance over them. We are financially rooted, physically dominant, positionally superior (business/political/economical/militarily etc) and they are plagued with ailments that come naturally to them like pregnancy, menopaus and menstral cycles. Men rule this planet and until something very drastic and very sudden happens it will stay that way.

DId I ever mention anything about not allowing women into college? Hell, I wouldn't mnd having more women in college with me.
What I'm saying is the leaders of tommorrow will come from colleges. Since more and more women are going to college, we could very well see a female-dominated world.

Find one sexist remark in the whole piece and send it to me. There are newspaper articles, and honest people who are studying this right now. This guy is the person that accuses anyone of studying genetics as racist.

Men drop out of high school in far larger rates than women because current teaching methodologies are focused on a female form of learning, and social pressure to provide for a family is largely targetted to males.
Pretty obvious result when looked at from those angles.
Will women dominate the world in a few decades? In certain fields and certain respects they already do. Draw your own conclusions as to whether that's for the best or worst.

Women are also culturally dominated in every known culture. Matriarch communities do so at their own expense and are in the VAST minority on a global scale.
Women are cultivated to want to be dominated more so than men. Men are repulsed by stronger males and want to overcome said male. Women are drawn to stronger males and want to be their subservient.

If women take over the world, will that mean no more competition for tossgirl? =X

Just that 99% of TL.net posters are men. Which they are. Did you expect an influx of women to come to this website because a blog is made with the word "women" in the title?

Men outnumber women in basically every conceivable position of power. Women are not likely to "take over" anytime soon.
|
As long as men retain their physical prowess, the women are powerless against our whims. Their ultimate purpose is to work in the kitchen to cook. The idea of them going to college is preposterous.
0/5 stars for your blog.

I think there is a growing trend in society to demasculinate men, in a search to become more "civilized". You can see evidence of this breeding of beta males through social conditioning in many avenues: television (shows like i love raymond), schools (where traits like aggression are frowned upon), and in the ways we are advertised to.
This is why a lot of guys in their teens and twenties have existential life issues. Growing into a man in this world is extremely difficult.

look buddy he's only trying to discuss it w/ rationality it doesn't mean he's a sexist.
On topic:
Who cares, I'm still certain that men and women will compliment each other in a very equal way such that women still need men, and vice versa.
