And in fact, they're now better educated than men.

More of them go to universities so they can

They have no problem getting jobs, and they are no longer dependent on men.

And the most serious side effect of that is they no longer bear as many children.

So our societies are, in fact, hated for extinction unless women somehow are persuaded to go back to bearing children.

more children.

But another aspect of this is the running of institutions.

So I think I'm saying all institutions historically have been set up and designed by men.

So are women going to do as good a job as they demand to take over even institutions or be represented 50% on corporate boards?

And I think the jury is still out on that, but I don't think really it's a very promising thing

If you look, for example, at the way American higher education has been taken over by women presidents, and they are not all of them terrible, but Claudine Gay, for example, who Harvard chose to be their president, has a very small bibliography as a scholar, and much of it is written with plagiarism.

She's not a good poster child for women-running institutions.

You know, I shouldn't generalize from that.

It doesn't mean that women cannot run institutions.

There are many fine women business leaders and politicians.

It's just, I suspect, you know, when the dust settles down and we're sort of mature enough as a society to let everyone be appointed on merit, I suspect we will find that there will be more men running institutions than women.

It won't be a 50-50 ratio.

Yes.

I think it's probably fair to say women do have a slightly different value set in that it's sort of less aggressive than men.

It's more oriented toward peaceful solutions, softer approaches.
