That's one way to look at it. A more rational view is that "women skills" or what you might call them, are in higher demand in today's society than traditional male skills such as fighting, being agressive and lifting heavy things. Good riddance.
- kenbellows 13y agoSorry, if those are what we are calling the "traditional male skills", what are "women skills" then? Cooking, cleaning, and child rearing?

- kenbellows 13y ago"Insurance underwriter" doesn't exactly fall under the umbrella of "traditional women's roles". That is, if we're speaking in ancient stereotypes. Hostess and waitress are a bit closer.

- kenbellows 13y agoI get the feeling that the point is being missed here.
