		<description>With regards to this silliness about a 10:1 ratio: 

yes, but what are the current trends in our business schools and in corporate america? Most of the new hirees and business school (the appropriate acronym is BS) graduates are female (white females tend to be over-represented, by the way) and they are staking out the corner offices - and have been, if we are being truthful, since at least the 1980s. Most of these male senior executives are old fellows who will be gone in another decade or so - probably sooner. They will be replaced by white females, and when they are replaced, those same women will justify hiring other women on the grounds that, since they outnumber men in the professional schools of the land, they deserve to be hired ahead of the male applicants. It&#039;s a funny thing about women: 30 years ago, we were told that it was important to show women achieving success in non-traditional jobs because young women needed to be shown that they could achieve success in those spheres; 30 years later, largely because of the gynocentric bent of our culture, young men are an increasingly dwindling percentage of professional school applicants and graduates - and I don&#039;t see anyone (certainly not privileged white women) calling for more advertisements and media images to be shown that depict young men achieving success in the professions. Don&#039;t buy garbage like this: look beneath the surface and you&#039;ll find that young men are falling further and further behind and that the real gender crisis we have in contemporary american society is with our sons.</description>
