Flip through the countries. I think the pictures speak for themselves. And if you still don't get it, put your racist hat on.

The problem is culture, it causes women to choose looks over brains. How come nothing is ever a a protected class' fault?

The problem is not just about that 25 percent of young women who would rather be hot than smart; rather, it's about a culture that actually makes that a rational choice: rewarding girls for looks over brains.

Encourages women to support other women. Boy when men did this (assuming they did this) it was called discrimination and chauvinism. For women, its the right thing to do? I guess its that minority mentality, you're with us or with them.

The results have been dramatic: In 1971, 300,000 high school girls played sports; today, that number is more like 3 million. Women now outnumber men in undergraduate and graduate enrollment, and earn more doctoral degrees. They are increasingly visible in positions of authority, from the C-Suite to the Supreme Court.
== ok so now women outnumber men, is it time to hold hands and sing kumbayah? Have we reached the equality utopia? Technically it sounds like women are tipping the balance the other way... isn't that a problem?
...
Yet, there's still far to go before we can claim true equality for women -- in sports, or in the workplace. And while it's tempting to blame everything on male chauvinist bias, the truth is, women are part of the problem.
== ok so if we agree with you, the problem is women are not practicing the female equivalent of male chauvinism and thats a bad thing?
...
It could be that women are fighting each other because there are still so few spots at the top. Women hold more than half of all management, professional, and related positions, yet, according to research organization Catalyst, just 13.5 percent of executive officer jobs.
== half of all management positions... less than 13.5 percent of executive jobs. Maybe you should remember that it used to be 0 in both categories and that there are going to be for another couple decades FAR more men with senior / executive management experience than women. Equality means equality, if you don't have the experience, you can't just point to another metric and say we should have 50%. You don't have 50% of the experience and only time will fix that... but of course you're not after equality.
But if women won't champion their female colleagues, then why would their male superiors? I say, it's time to start cheering for the home team -- not out of some syrupy sisterhood, but because if we don't stand up and make some noise, then no one else will either. Women have got to be more willing to support and speak out for one another -- and, at the very least, to stop blocking, betraying, or belittling one another's success.
== yep back with the solidarity thing. support a woman based on her gender. Great message of equality you crazy feminazi.

Not a bad article, only included since there happens to be a deluge of articles on women today. My only problem with it is its subtle feminism. Its women and men are equal and thank you dad for treating me just like a boy. There are differences between men and women, it is not ideal to treat men and women the same in all areas. If you disagree, should we work on the equality of men and women in the prison population? Men are obviously being discriminated against.
