She's Come A Long Ways, Baby: Questions about Female Domination and Societal Evolution

Screen 9 of 25

Another point of interest I read recently, in a different study was that girls have eliminated the gap in math and science and that the gap was never actually as large as we have been led to believe. There is a much higher incidence of male math geniuses than female, the ratio is something like 7:1 among the top 1%. So when the exceptional grades are taken out of the equation, girls perform just as well as boys throughout all school systems. I expect girls will eventually pass boys in those disciplines as well.

Anyway, I decided that the above recommendations along with several others less controversial ones, would eventually lead to about a 70:30 disparity between females and males gaining entrance into post secondary schools. Evidently I underestimated women. According to your Quebec article, some regions are already experiencing graduation rates that are 68% female.

I don't find anything wrong with any of this and I don't think young guys should be intimidated either. Males still tend to have better spatial reasoning and have an easier time visualizing 3D concepts and as such we'll likely always have more male architects and engineers and the like. Overall though, it seems reasonable to anticipate future generations encouraging guys to be firefighters, lumber jacks, carpenters, etc while women will gravitate to the professions and thus legislate our world.
