Women are good - economically speaking
We've been trumped, lads. The ladies have it:
One longstanding reason why boys have been seen as a greater blessing has been that they are expected to become better economic providers for their parents' old age. Yet it is time for parents to think again. Girls may now be a better investment.
Girls get better grades at school than boys, and in most developed countries more women than men go to university. Women will thus be better equipped for the new jobs of the 21st century, in which brains count a lot more than brawn. And women are more likely to provide sound advice on investing their parents' nest egg: surveys show that women consistently achieve higher financial returns than men do.
Furthermore, the increase in female employment in the rich world has been the main driving force of growth in the past couple of decades. Those women have contributed more to global GDP growth than have either new technology or the new giants, China and India.
Apparently, women need to be exploited more:
Women complain (rightly) of centuries of exploitation. Yet, to an economist, women are not exploited enough: they are the world's most under-utilised resource; getting more of them into work is part of the solution to many economic woes, including shrinking populations and poverty.
Well, it would seem while the woman earns the money, I'll have to sit back from professional work and do my manly duties, which include mowing the lawn, opening jars and pleasuring her. No snickering at the back. We may also be on call to do emergency parallel parks.

Hmmm, I'm dubious too mate. It's a conspiracy.
Is it true you can have sex with women?
Help me out here.
Purely educational sites, I imagine, Martini.
I saw some women "having sex" on Dalai's computer. Actually, he had quite a lot of that material on his computer...after he visited my old house. I blame Az.
