		<description>Role incongruity is real. When Michelle Obama spoke about it, many women around the world sympathized with her:

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2009/05/07/work-life_balance_a_challenge.html

Still, this doesn&#039;t give people an excuse to assume that a woman couldn&#039;t do a stellar job of both and it doesn&#039;t give men an excuse to not help out a little more with the parenting. Right now, the default seems to be for a woman to let her husband pursue his high-flying career while she takes care of the kids. This is one thing keeping women behind. Another is something I learned on Charlie Rose, which is that successful women tend to marry &quot;up&quot;- no one knows why. Where&#039;re all the sugar mamas? I could use one right now!</description>

		<description>Gender bias is instutionalized through quotas for women students and professors.  Inverse exclusionary quotas persist widely against Asian and Jewish heterosexual males, who show success out of proportion to their population.
 
Feminist appeals for ‘equality’ is a quota demand for at least 50% outcomes favouring women.
 
Extensive evidence is available about innate male and female intellectual characteristics. … Studies of intelligence and sex consistently show a significant male advantage, increasing exponentially beyond the mean.

Feminists flaunt girls’ elevated GPAs (but not SAT, GRE, etc.) as proof that girls lead boys in ‘maturity’ and learning ability. Boys’ IQ begins to surpass girls at age 14.  Higher female GPAs indicate that competence is subverted to social engineering. 

 
In “Why g Matters,” Linda Gottfredson estimates that a minimum of IQ 120 is needed to be competitive in “high-level” jobs “… [and] the probability is that only 37% of the workforce at that level will be female”.[i] At IQ 130 (+2SD), males comprise 82%; IQ 145 (+3SD), 88% and at IQ 160 (+4SD), associated with genius, males comprise 97%.
 
Helmuth Nyborg explains, “Proper methodology identifies a male advantage in g that increases exponentially at higher levels, relates to brain size and [partially] explains the universal male dominance in society.” 

Scores on the SAT, GRE, LSAT and similar knowledge and ability tests show a male advantage, on verbal and wider on mathematics scores. That sex gap persists despite over thirty years of ‘gender-norming’ of test questions, to inflate female scores - founded in the testers’ presumption of equal intelligence.[ii]  Previous to 1990, the male test advantage was higher.  Either, over thirty years, males have lost g and become less intelligent, females conversely, or those tests are increasingly sex-rigged. 

Charles Murray in “Human Accomplishment” offers Lotka Curve and other analyses, showing women comprise less than 2.2 percent of ‘Significant Figures,’ over 2750 years. Women’s achievements are mostly based in contributions to Western and Japanese literature and art.

Women rank as 4.4% (n=35) of Nobel Prize laureates, with 66% of their awards in literature and peace.  Nineteen Prizes were won by organizations.  The remaining 744 prizes were earned by men.  All cultures and civilizations, throughout history, without exception, were fostered and advanced by Patriarchy.

 Ongoing suppression of male abilities and creativity bode grave consequences for the West.

[ii]  From Nyborg, ff. 6, “Jackson (2002) suggested that because test constructors such as himself and the Educational Testing Service (which developed the SAT) often eliminate items showing marked sex differences in order to reduce the perception of bias, it is possible that the results reported here might be a lower-bound estimate of the “true” sex difference.”</description>

		<description>Wil raises a good point. Is discrimination against men reported and talked about as much as discrimination against women?</description>

		<description>I had the over/under at 5 comments before someone claimed that men were more oppressed than women.  Looks like the under takes the day.</description>

		<description>Gender bias against women in education?  You must be joking.  In the U.S., the large majority of liberal arts teachers and professors are women. Most of the presidents of the Ivy League universities are women. Depending on the college, between 55% and 72% of ALL graduates are women. Despite male students overwhelmingly favoring participation in sports, 68% of all sports scholarships now go to women, and 60% of all collage atheletes are women.

For about 15 years now, high schools and universities across the country have very aggressively and systematically discriminated against male students, teachers and professors. It is profoundly and sickenly sexist and hateful.

I suspect you only tolerate hearing the tired, vastly overworked story about poor, noble, helpless women being victimized by evil, horrible men, but that ship turned around years ago, and it is now sailing in the opposite direction at top speed.</description>
