Girls Rule

     I have had a small dog under foot for the past thirty two years.  I noticed early on, when I took these dogs to the vet, that most veterinarians in these parts are women.  When I was a kid, women in the work force, who were not in the typing pool, were teachers or nurses.  These days they are accountants, engineers, lawyers, and doctors.  Pinelands OB/GYN Associates located in Medford is an all female group of six doctors.
     New research, published by James Flynn, an expert in IQ testing, proves something I've know since I was six years old - girls are smarter than boys.  Flynn suspects that women are scoring higher on tests and achieving more because of "the effect of modernity on women."  Modernity, schmodernity.  What he really means is women could reach their full potential once gender roles stopped holding them in "their place."  Mr. Flynn also suspects that the multi-tasking we women do so well, has boosted our brain power.  http://shine.yahoo.com/secrets-to-your-success/women-higher-iqs-men-says-science-165600313.html
     Medical school, law school, dental school, and pharmacy school have nearly equal enrollments of men and women.  In 2011, there were 170 female medical school graduates in New Jersey versus 167 male graduates.  http://www.statehealthfacts.org/comparebar.jsp?ind=435&cat=8  Since 1982 women have earned more Bachelor's degrees than men.  Since 1981, they have earned more Master's degrees than men.  http://www.pay-equity.org/PDFs/ProfWomen.pdf  Women buy 54% of the cars in the United States.  http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/women-buying-cars-30335.html  Single women buy more homes than single men.http://money.msn.com/home-loans/article.aspx?post=341184a3-116f-4cb2-8123-0e8afe3d59fb  The real financial power houses are us old girls.  The website She-conomy.com explains that fifty-plus women control more than three fourths of the nation's financial wealth.  The site tells men how to market to this group.
     Forgive me.  I just can't help myself sometimes, but -


     If you want it done right, hire a woman.
