    ehile men still outnumber women in participation rate, men are leaving the job market in larger numbers due to layoffs, and probably other reasons.

    it's a woman's economy now

    as for educational support, this has been a commonly known fact for years now.

    more women get aid, though the awards are a bit lower than men.

    I just heard a guy complain about student aid disparities tonight. In the US, I wish they would limit that to black folks and natives. Asian kids and Indian folks getting scholarships without performance over white guys who do well is ridiculous, but blacks and native are owed a bit of leverage as reparations and to level the playing field. I know that's unpopular, but there, I said it.

    I'm in engineering, and it's hard to succeed as a woman in some places. It seems culture specific since I transferred to a different state and experienced a much different situation.

    i am nit denying that there is discrimination, I'm just pointing out that on average the discrmination goes the other way in recent decades. i am (was) a tech worker. I'm now too old to be hired - another discrimination problem.

    if you do a bit of reasearch, you wil find some horror stories from men who are or tried to be elementary school teachers. also, nursing is female dominated and I've seen a few unpleasant testimonials. don't have verfied numbers at hand, but thise shoukd show therlther those are edge cases or common.
