[TED] New data on the rise of women

Hanna Rosin

- dominating professions (50% managers are women)
- women are becoming more successful than men
- power dynamics are changing (women are taking control)
- for every 2 men with college degree, 3 women do
- this year, women became the majority of the work force

It is affecting movies, culture, superhero, marriages, and more.

75% of couples are requesting girls not boys. (I also prefer girls)
Even countries like India and South Korea are not preferring first born sons anymore.

Back then, it was driven by passionate feminists, but this time it is driven by the society.

The global economy is changing.
-nationwide survey showed than young women are making more money than young men.
-the middle earning jobs are dropping (it's is no longer about 'skills' it is about communication and intellectual ability)

ONE WORD: EQUALITY

I imagine my future to be just as good as any men's life would be. I think that things are definitely changing, and it is no longer about the gender, but it is now all about problem solving and how you deal with relationships.

Questions: Although statistic show that women are starting to dominate in many areas, would women ever be treated the same as men? (there are always prejudice and also physical strength that men are better at)

It was an interesting talk and I really liked it.
