The real gender inequity

I've been thinking often about gender issues recently - I have a couple of posts brewing but don't want to post them until they're ready. Until then, here's something to think about:

80% of American jobs lost in this recession have been lost by men. Eighty percent!

The current gender unemployment gap (8.0 percent for women, 10.5 percent for men) is the worst in the history of labor department records dating back to 1948.

College graduates in the US, by gender, are now at 58% female, 42% male.

Add it all up: empirically, men are being oppressed. Happy Fathers Day!
