Overall this article is qutie stupid.
In 1970, men earned 60% of all college degrees. In 1980, the figure fell to 50%, by 2006 it was 43%. - Not surprising. 30 years ago women didn't go to college as much, as they were forced to be hosuewives. Women outnumbermen, so it's no surprise that when then get the same opportunities as men, you'll be seeing more of them.
Women's earnings grew 44% in real dollars from 1970 to 2007, compared with 6% growth for men. - Again, not surprising. Women were initially payed less than men. Laws have now made pay equality closer to becoming true, so it's not surprise that women's earnings have grown so much. Men still earn more than women anyway.
In 1950, 5% of men at the prime working age were unemployed. As of last year, 20% were not working, the highest ever recorded. - One word: recession.Interesting that he didn't mention the percentage of unemployed women.
Men still maintain a majority of the highest paid and most powerful occupations, but women are catching them and will soon be passing them if this trend continues. - It's unlikely, though I don't see why this would be a bad thing.
Men are more distant from a family or their children then they have ever been. - Probably not. Traditionally, men have always been encouraged to be distant from their families (due to the emotional contraints men are subjected to). Physical presence does =/= emotional presence.
Men are also less religious than ever before. According to Gallup polling, 39% of men reported attending church regularly in 2010, compared to 47% of women. - This is actually a plus for men, and a minus for women.
The mere rants of a sad conservative. Quite worthless honestly. Is CNN trying to become the next Fox News?
