The New York Times has a great story detailing how women are leaving men behind at college. A few interesting observations are included in this piece. At most universities across the country more women are graduating with honors than men, and 58% of those enrolled in college are women. Though feminazis want to continue to brainwash us that there is a glass ceiling and women are being oppressed when it comes to attaining a higher education and successful job, the facts show that this is just not true.
Newsweek ran a story several months ago on how boys are suddenly being left behind when it comes to elementary and secondary education (sorry, the story is archived, unless you're a print subscriber). This lack of attention on the education and socialization of boys is also found in the Times article. Women are more driven than their male counterparts, with more men likely to be slackers when it comes to their studies. College men, as we all know, are more likely to play video games. And we're not just talking about a few times a week or even a few hours each day, but instead 4-5 hours each day. C'mon fellas! Step it up! To think that we are breeding in males the idea that slacking off pays off is an idictment of decades of feminist propaganda. White male guilt is still alive and kicking and the feminization of our culture (including our churches) will only worsen the situation. Hopefully we aren't raising up a generation of "girly men" (Hat Tip to the Governator!).

I think that perhaps you are right about the breaking of the glass ceiling when it comes to education. I admit that much progress has been made with job opportunities as well, though there still is the persistent "Old Boys' Club" in the world of business which can be as much of an impediment in the career of a man as with that of a woman. But politics and religion are, in my opinion, the two new fronts in the struggle for gender equality.
A lot of progress has been made in certain parts of the world in politics. Oddly, the US is further behind in this aspect than you would think. (I addressed this issue in my blog several months ago, so I'll move on.)
Earning gender equality in religion is a much trickier battle. Although many religions are fairly egalitarian, the three major ones are patriarchal and extremely reluctant to change. Altering a centuries-old system is hard, but when it is based upon people's ethics and beliefs it becomes nigh impossible to make significant changes.
Marie,
Thanks for your comments. Having briefly stopped by your blog, I can readily see that we have very differing beliefs. But I'm okay with that, because I tend to learn from those I disagree with.
I believe you are right that the realm of politics is dominated by men. Of course these aren't just your oridnary men. Instead they are men who have built connections in their local communities and in the business world. These connections allow them to do things like succeed in public office. Of course, there are many women who are also actively engaged in politics. The House Minority Leader is female, and here in Oklahoma, the Republicans and Democrats have elected women into high ranking leadership positions. Furthermore, the idea of having a woman president may soon move from an idea to reality.
Where we disagree is concerning gender equality in "religion." While you aren't specific in what you mean by this, I would suspect it has something to do with women in leadership positions.
As a Christian who believes the Bible, I believe that God directed ecclesiastical structure. He established how the church ought to be governed, not man. Of course you may have been thinking of gender equality in a different sense.
