Exclamation Males Done

Peter Csermely (2007) described the emergence and collapse of emergent organizations as a function of resources. (Also, see Brody, 2008) In Stage 3, winner-take-all is supreme. Increase stress further and the whole damned network fragments. Western culture now shows these effects, noticed not only by biologists who tell us that the harshest environments are only inhabited by females but also by popular writes such as Kathleen Parker (Save the Males) or William Bennett who observes the dominance of females in any discipline (as measured by grades and academics - in all but advanced math) where rules and group problem-solving predominate. Even ADHD's leading researcher observes the greater handicaps of impulsiveness (aka, guys) in rule-bound societies.

Men bear the brunt of US jobs lost

"The US recession has opened up the biggest gap between male and female unemployment rates since records began in 1948, as men bear the brunt of the economy's contraction.

"Men have lost almost 80 per cent of the 5.1m jobs that have gone in the US since the recession started, pushing the male unemployment rate to 8.8 per cent. The female jobless rate has hit 7 per cent.

"This is a dramatic reversal of the trend over the past few years, where the rates of male and female unemployment barely differed, at about 5 per cent.

"It also means that women could soon overtake men as the majority of the US labour force."
