boys

In case you didn't know it, there's about the same amount of men and women born into this world. Shocking, I know!

But why is there about a 60:40 ratio on college campuses of more women than men?

Or the churches? Same ratio, about 60:40 women to men.

Hmmm, well they aren't applying to be volunteers for organizations like Invisible Children or LiNK. No, about two thirds of these applicants are women. Same thing for summer camps. They're not applying to work with campers all summer long.

So, the question is... where are the men? Why can't you find them in these places? I think I know the answer. I think they're working. Making fast money. More of those labor jobs.

Ok, so the men aren't getting as educated as the women, and they're not interested in growing in the church, and they're not volunteering for community service. Yet despite their statistical lack of "well-roundedness" that these paths would offer them, men are still the ones our society deems to be the best to rule the economy, the church, and the government. Wait... why?
