I personally thought it was a well-researched, well presented piece. She wasn't talking about the first world, guys. She was talking about the third world, where the things she said are true. The stories of the family with the goat and the woman who started the embroidery business were great success stories. Plus, I'm pretty sure they send goats to families with sons as well, it's just that that wasn't the focus of her talk.

Sam, how did you get to women joining the labor force from that?

Booze.

Why stop at the labor force? Let's bring more women to the front lines on the battlefield and have them join the NFL. Then lets sit back and watch them blunder one after another as they spew excuses for their failings.

You got my vote.

Women are the solution? No they are actually part of the problem. Hell, men are as well and here's why I say this. There is a law about Violence against Women (which is sexist in both ways), Affirmative Action (where they and minorities get jobs just for being just that), heck there is privileges that women enjoy like alimony and abused girlfriend/wife etc benefits (this is true) most at the expense of, well you know.

Problem is WE as a society are taught treat an entire gender as being like our children. We have also been taught that they probably could never do no wrong. Look at the cases where women get lighter sentences than men. We can never fight them, put our hands on them etc etc. It's pretty wrong to do so and the government is a huge factor in this. Oh and what the government is mostly consisted of? Men. And these men are idolized by other men, I mean look at our president. It seems like I am rambling but the solution to the gender problem is to retrain our thinking and treat everyone with full equality. Good and bad.

i was talking about what's her ass.... Sheryl wudunn.

i don't care what they are talking about , i didn't even read the artical because im not interested in this kind of stuff.

i mean it , theres plenty of high paying work here , and no woman come do it.
whats the deal?

Oh. Well that wasn't what it was about at all. In any way. But you're right. It was presented by a woman. Which automatically makes it a feminist rant that should be ignored.

Kinda like when men post about real, honest gender inequity for males in the legal system, and they are automatically jeered at because they are men.

Notice any similarities in the approach???

Dude, did anyone watch the video?

Affirmative Action (where they and minorities get jobs just for being just that)

Fuck AA, they should either scrap it or change it so that it benefits those with legit disadvantages and or homeless people who want to get their lives back on track.

Yes, well researched, on one side.

Here's a study done in 2009 regarding male/female ratios: GeoHive - Male / Female distribution

It's fairly balanced throughout the world - 102 males to 100 females.

Here some interesting lines:

Country	Total	Male	Female	Ratio
Bahrain	791,473	454,152	337,321	135
Kuwait	2,985,046	1,777,238	1,207,808	147
Northern Mariana Islands	86,895	37,676	49,219	77
Oman	2,845,415	1,605,162	1,240,253	129
Qatar	1,409,423	1,062,942	346,481	307
Saudi Arabia	25,720,605	14,097,790	11,622,815	121
United Arab Emirates	4,598,600	3,093,246	1,505,354	205

Per 100 females

The Mariana Islands are north of Australia.

Other than the countries above, it's pretty level across the board.
