What is interesting is that there are more woman enrolling in college now then men and boys are dropping out of STEM related programs in middle school at a high rate. There are many articles written about the trend towards men being irrelevant in the work place in the coming decades although you would know it by some of the stone age comments recently made by some male politicians regarding women.

What we need is to go back to the old days and the simple tests. e.g when we were looking for a secretary or file clerk, only females needed to apply (yes, we had "men's jobs" and "women's jobs" then.) Screening for women's jobs was easy with the "elbow test." You can take that yourself if you like, Mrs. Halpin: 1. Lock your hands behind your head. 2. Point your elbows forward. 3. Walk toward the wall until you make contact. . If it's your elbows which made the contact, "I'm sorry but I don't think you are qualified for this position."
