The women are taking over....
 

I stumbled across this today, bit of a long article but some quite startling evidence about the potential future of men with regards to fertility. You can skip past the first bit about the starlings as there's probably only me that's interested in that bit :mrgreen:

Singing starlings and why thousands of babies who should have been boys are being born as girls

Future not looking bright for you men I'm afraid, I guess women really will take over the world muahahaha :smt029

Read that yesterday in the daily mail, it's all an evil plot by women. Dumping hormones in water. Grrr!

More women around is not necessarily a bad thing, more choice for us guys! :smt112

Re: The women are taking over....
 

Disagree!!

More laydeeez for us!!! :lol:

Did my masters project on this at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology and how to break down ethinyloestradiol (EE2) by improved sewage treatment work. They are still working on it, it's a problem that has been around for a while.

Possibly true, but then when we're all gone, whose laundry will you do?

I love the statistics used in that article:

OK, but don't tell us how many babies were born in the US and Japan, and the original 106/100 statistic was taken globally, so why narrow the field of observation?

This link (http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0005083.html) shows more accurate statistical information, and shows that total population gender differences are changing on average by 0.15 females per male per year. Some places, such as the former USSR, have far higher proportion of women to men, whereas others like China, have far more men than the global average.

That means less choice for women year on year, and more choice for us men. How is that a bad thing for us directly? That would mean that in the future, if we're not happy with how we're being treated by any woman, we go and find another, much easier.

But for the genepool as a whole, well, there's nothing conclusive from this research :)
