More on women and work

The following is a comment that was posted in response to this article.

Be it typing, driving, smoking or whatever, my opinion is that men tend to do it first, when it is a pioneering activity. When the activity becomes well known, women will also start to do it in large numbers. If it is an activity that is eventually given up, men will give it up first (as can clearly be seen with smoking, and is also true of television - a high proportion of which, being soap or reality TV of some sort, is clearly now designed for a female audience). Thus, if a study were to be done, I strongly suspect that women in the workplace will be most prolific in areas where the methods are known, and only change slowly - like management, law, medicine and retail banking, for example.

Soon more women than men will have jobs

More women will be working than men within four years after the number of males with jobs slumped to an all-time low, say researchers.

Pretty young women = a depreciating asset?

Below is a response made by a man on Craigslist to a (claimed) pretty young woman who placed an ad saying she wanted to date only a wealthy man. I believe his response is of universal truth.

I read your posting with great interest and have thought meaningfully about your dilemma. I offer the following analysis of your predicament. Firstly, I'm not wasting your time, I qualify as a guy who fits your bill; that is I make more than $500K per year. That said here's how I
see it.

Your offer, from the prospective of a guy like me, is plain and simple a crappy business deal. Here's why. Cutting through all the B.S., what you suggest is a simple trade: you bring your looks to the party and I bring my money. Fine, simple. But here's the rub, your looks will fade and my money will likely continue into perpetuity...in fact, it is very likely that my income increases but it is an absolute certainty that you won't be getting any more beautiful!

So, in economic terms you are a depreciating asset and I am an earning asset. Not only are you a depreciating asset, your depreciation accelerates! Let me explain, you're 25 now and will likely stay pretty hot for the next 5 years, but less so each year. Then the fade begins in
earnest. By 35 stick a fork in you!

So in Wall Street terms, we would call you a trading position, not a buy and hold...hence the rub...marriage. It doesn't make good business sense to "buy you" (which is what you're asking) so I'd rather lease. In case you think I'm being cruel, I would say the following. If my money were to go away, so would you, so when your beauty fades I need an out. It's
as simple as that. So a deal that makes sense is dating, not marriage.

Separately, I was taught early in my career about efficient markets. So, I wonder why a girl as "articulate, classy and spectacularly beautiful" as you has been unable to find your sugar daddy. I find it hard to believe that if you are as gorgeous as you say you are that the $500K
hasn't found you, if not only for a tryout.

By the way, you could always find a way to make your own money and then we wouldn't need to have this difficult conversation.

With all that said, I must say you're going about it the right way. Classic "pump and dump."

I hope this is helpful, and if you want to enter into some sort of lease, let me know.

More man-made global warming skepticism

One of the world's leading climate modelers has conceded that the Earth has not warmed for nearly a decade and that we are likely entering "one or even two decades during which temperatures will cool".

James Randi: some 32,000 scientists, 9,000 of them PhDs, have signed The Petition Project statement proclaiming that Man is not necessarily the chief cause of warming, that the phenomenon may not exist at all, and that, in any case, warming would not be disastrous.
