End of Men response

Great point, great article. Ahhhh, the end of men! Scary! :-) ha ha. Well, it is quite a shift and the numbers don't lie, more women in college and advanced programs than men, this will definitely change things, I have seen it already with medical students which are now well over 60% female, compared to a generation ago only 10% or so were female at most. Why so many fewer men are in college is hard to say if it's quotas against them or just they've become less ambitious or less interested in their own development or who knows what.

I think it is a generational thing with Maloney vs. today. In fact, it may even reverse in a few years where you stand out as a man (this is definitely true in my field where there's about 2/3 women) whether this helps or hurts is tough to say, but things are changing for sure.
