Female Supremacy Articles

Screen 6 of 17

The shift has indeed been sudden. It's catching many young men (and their mothers) unawares. But a male raised to assume a privileged position is now heading for trouble.

The task of negotiating relationships with women has become mighty treacherous. There's little tolerance for mistakes, no longer any room for hanky-panky.

A young teacher recently told me of one of her students was in huge trouble over a prank. He had faked a series of suggestive notes in another student's diary, allegedly written by the teacher herself. It was the stuff of any teenage boy's ultimate fantasy sexy blonde teacher comes on to the student through a series of raunchy messages. But he had been caught and all hell was about to break loose.

The boy was very, very lucky. The teacher convinced the school authorities she would handle the issue herself. The result was a talk that may just prove a major lesson for life for the young man. She talked to him about harassment, about why his prank put her in an awkward position and undermined her authority. But even more importantly, she warned him of today's oppressive climate where, for some, offensive sexual behaviour has become a hanging crime.
