Sexodus?!?

Well, currently, in my profession, the males outnumber the females by a large percentage. More women are starting to get into it but often face resistance from the "boys' network"

I have encountered it myself. Bot to the degree others have in their own chosen fields, so I'm not screaming "victim", but it happens still.

Dammit, I once had a middle aged male patient who absolutely refused to accept that the "little girl" was actually his surgeon and not a nurse.

I only occasionally faced that in the law, but it was there. Mostly, I felt fairly treated.

Has the OBGYN profession become entirely female there, because it mostly is here. Women want women for that for rather obvious reasons. I can imagine that men might want a urinary/prostate specialist who was male if they had the choice.

I got half way through the article and gave up. It was just too overblown for my tastes.

I keep reading that women are entering colleges at a greater rate then men. I wonder if part of the reason is that some decently paying careers that don't need a four year degree are traditionally seen as male careers like welding or truck driving. Are there any jobs that are traditionally female that pay a decent living without a four year degree? I have known men that support their families on truck driving salaries, for example. They might not be rich but they do all right.

You have a point there. Most jobs that make money without a college education require strength. ---- Women truckers are becoming more common all the time. That doesn't take strength.
