I think there is a good bit of healthy debate going on here.

Some poster, (sorry I can't find it now) said that Women aren't even equal to men yet, in the business and cinematic sense.

Untrue! The Sound of Music? Resident Evil? Cat Women? The Devil Wears Prada? Sex and The City?

These are just a small example of movies where girls kick arse! (Not always literally of course)

Furthermore, I have to disagree with the comment about business, I have a part time job, working in the hospitality industry, which is a fancy way of saying I am a Waiter thrice a week

That industry is dominated by women, female managers, female team leaders, female cleaners...all of it is female oriented.

Furthermore schools are female oriented, teachers, cleaning staff and management.

What I am trying to highlight here is that 20 years, yes it was a bit different, men where more preffered to women, now that argument holds little water.

Besides, that wasn't even what I was talking about. I was talking about in a social environ. Things such as home-life, more and more men are less trusted with money, less trusted with tasks such as gardening, cleaning, and yes even providing for the family, apparently I am a patriarchal dictator-tyrant-slash-new-hitler for wanting to be the provider in my family. Go figure...
