Women are becoming the leaders, and men the supporters. Even in relationships where children are the priority, and the woman chooses or is able to stay at home, women take on the dominant role, commanding a deeper respect than any time in history.

I think this post is absolutely newsworthy- we need to celebrate the successes of moving forward. Is it your experience that men fall at either ends of the success continuum? I think that is true to some extent. But I looked for some information briefly and don't know why that is.. My initial guess would be it's a matter of how boys have been raised compared to girls. If you find anything, I'd be happy to post it. Others? What do you think? Brad,

Sure the media needs something to write about but weren't the ultimate goals of the women's rights movement equality and easily interchanging rolls? I think the real question should be why are men so much more likely to fall at the ends of work/success spectrum (either uber successful leaders or unsuccessful and under-educated) while women are more likely to dominate the middle to upper-middle levels (i.e. typical corporate jobs, vp, family breadwinner, nine-to-fiver). Is it a matter of psychology, expected social norms, school structure, genetic predisposition, or what? -Brad Rebecca,
