Here's the basic way I see the sociology of the present time.
In 1450 it took about 440 males to rule (i.e. maintain order and lead) 10,000 males. By 1850 that number was down to about 150 : 10,000.
By 2000, it was about 80 : 10,000. There is now a push on to get to get that number down to about 40 to 50; i.e. to rule 10,000. {1450 year applies to England, France and Germany. Probably higher number in Russia and Poland.}
The "push" or campaign consists of the following----
1) Put aggressive boys on drugs---unless they are really subtle in their aggression.
2) Affirmative action : promote women over men, most numerously and broadly in college admissions, especially law school. Continue this even though women have 60% of the college degrees.
3) Promote gay marriage, which will dilute the power of men
4) Ridicule men in advertising------ by far the most pronounced on TV but also on radio and other media.
5) Promote gender free college campuses : dorms, bathrooms, sports programs (indirectly).
The result will be that the men who survive will do so by their wit and stealth. Power becomes more clandestine, more covert, more elitist. The men who survive will be more intelligent, more artful, more elite, less physical, less public, more opportunist : having no faith except in their desire to rule.
Who represents this "new man"? This metro-sexual elitist :relaxed, affable, modest, excessively private and totally opportunist?
Well, there a bunch of 'em out there, but non one says "Brave new correct world to me like JOHN CORZINE, CEO of Goldman Sachs, then liberal US Senator, then governor of New Jersey. I see no conviction in this man only "opportunity, calculation,and ....yes....private decisions, public policy."
