    Being a guy, I was somewhat taken aback by the startling new statistics presented at a recent TED TALK by Hanna Rosin regarding the world-wide decline in male accomplishments/status relative to women. Rosen makes the point that the Marlboro Man and alpha male top-down manager, are going the way of the DoDo bird and dinosaur. Her point is that women are better at collaboration and consensual communication - which are skills well suited to our social networks and information-based economy. For example, how come I'm the only guy taking this class on how to build collaborative online learning environments - where are my male compadres?

    Interesting video. I think there is most probably enough supporting data to validate that hypothesis. I want to know what our future world will look like when this trend continues into the future.

    Yup, she was right on. Until these concepts change...women stay inferior and get beaten...down, too.
