Brazil - feminism on the rise - the Economist take on the labour force dymanic

Women and the labour market in Brazil: Amazons at work | The Economist

Few takes:

"FOR Adriana Graciano, leaving her violent partner meant losing custody of her children to him, since she lacked both a job and a home."

oh, what an objective evaluation...

"At the same time, more Brazilian women are well-qualified than ever before. Girls are staying at school longer than boys, and three-fifths of recent university graduates are women."

in other words only 2 fifths of graduates are men...is it a good news?

Dilma Rousseff is slowly replacing the politicians running state-controlled businesses with better-qualified people—again, often women where men were before

no comment...

BTW why there is no Brazil in the prefix selection?

It never ceases to amaze me how 'equality' always seems so happy to let women be portrayed as superior to men, but when men are portrayed even remotely better than women, it's called misogyny/arrogance/chauvinism/etc.

I came across a woman about 3 years back on a MRM site who was fighting for women's rights in Brazil. I got talking to her in the background and I learned things I wasn't aware of. It was a far cry from men's sites saying Brazil is better than New Zealand.

But then, It does seem weird for an outsider like me who sees women all over men on TV, lol.

I've always described the introduction of feminism into untainted hosts as a destructive 'infestation.' I've never seen one example to the contrary, whenever this unrelenting pestilence doesn't tear apart the social fabric of whatever it has access to infect! This depressing and predictable outcome, never, ever, changes! Yet like Nazism and Communism, the masses are ghoulishly drawn to something so inherently evil.
