Sandi, Could you please elaborate on what you mean by "woman's success"? I just couldn't help but notice that since the percent of women in the US in management tripled: 1) the rate of fatherlessness quadrupled, the divorce rate more than doubled, and the illegitimacy rate quadrupled 2) the murder rate doubled while the "clearance rate" for murders declined from 90% to 60% 3) the value of the dollar declined almost to a quarter of its previous value by the Consumer Price Index and by 11 times by the "gold standard" (from $38/oz to $420/oz) 4) more was spent on welfare than the entire asset value of every Fortune 500 corporation and every acre of farm land combined 5) the percent of the world's autos supplied by the U.S. declined from 60% to 20% 6) the prison population increased four fold to a rate 4 times that of China and 8 to 10 times that of many European nations 7) the average weight of an American increased 25 pounds Since the 1970s: 1) GDP per worker declined 70% by the gold standard 2) the "Personal Savings" rate declined to less than 2%, versus 25% in Japan 3) the public debt increased 8 fold AND the U.S. is the largest debtor nation in world history 4) abortions more than doubled 5) cocaine use rose 45% in spite of the world's harshest "drug war" and a 10 fold increase in criminal justice system expenditures -- which now exceed the budget for national defense 6) the trade deficit increased from "in the black" to $123 Billion "in the red" 7) government spending as a percent of the average American's income exceeded 42%, and is rising, compared to 27% in Japan and 32% in the U.S. 3 decades ago 8) drunk driving arrests increased 5 fold while the motor vehicle fatality rate increased from 30% lower than Germany's to 45% higher 9) health services costs increased 8 fold and the paperwork required to meet government regulations costs 3% of GDP 10) SAT scores declined 75 points, putting the US in almost last place in both math and language in international comparisons 11) the percent of children living with married parents declined from 39% to 26% 12) the amount of time PER DAY that children watch TV increased from 5 hours to 7 hours 13) the number of the world's Top 40 Banks which were U.S. declined from 22 to only one (with assets of $120 Billion while 24 were Japanese with assets of $5,000 Billion) 14) we have 50 times more lawyers than Japan while Japan has 4 times as many engineers 15) the ratio of manufacturing employees to government employees declined from 2.5:1 to less than 1:1 16) total US "Personal Savings" are $212 Billion while Japan has $12,000 Billion (that is $12 Trillion) just in their "Postal Savings Accounts" 17) "a 560% increase in violent crime, a 419% increase in illegitimate births, a 3000% increase in single-parent households, and a drop of almost 80 points in SAT scores." (source: The Guardian) 18) unsubstantiated child abuse reports increased 8 fold and unsubstantiated sexual abuse reports increased 28 fold Which part of this do you give credit to women for?
