I cannot recall ever reading an article on this subject that did not use CEOs to show that society is unfair to women. Fortune 500 did not make it into the piece, but “uppers echelons “ did. Once again, we have the problem of the “fat tails.” In their talents and in their weaknesses, far more men are to be found long from the mean. Feminists envy the reward that comes from men’s “over representation” in the talents part of the dispersion, but not their heart-breaking “over representation” on the other side. Never have I heard or read the argument that men’s “over representation” in prisons is due to anything other than fundamental differences between men and women. There is no social construct theory to explain how unfair it is. We have no wailing about invisible forces condemning men to be caged like animals. We are told that there must be glass ceilings, but prison bars are all too visible and too real. Prisons are not social constructs, or if they are, they are social constructs built for men.

Schools are today designed to reward the behavior of girls and to punish the behavior of boys. There probably would be an overall benefit to “red shirting” boys, but there are serious structural problems that disadvantage boys, both in school and in society. The results are tragic for everyone.
