A report in the Daily Telegraph (link) stated "Men's chances of rising up the social scale in Britain have stalled because of greater competition from women and a slower rate of growth for top jobs, a study published yesterday reported. The research, by Oxford University, showed that upward social mobility has come to a halt despite Government reforms to tackle class inequality and offer opportunity for all.
Worse still for men, Labour's goal to promote "equality of opportunity" failed to mention that any increase in social mobility was likely to create as many losers as winners, with men losing out to the increasing number of women pursuing careers."
A link to the report's conclusions is here (link) and the authors were Dr John Goldthorpe and Dr Michelle Jackson from Oxford University.
One issue the report does not cover is the plethora of women-only training, management and leadership courses and whether this, alongside the feminisation of education that is condemning generations of boys to a life of under-achievement, is starting to have an affect.
These courses, normally promoted by senior women to give other women in their organisation an unfair advantage over men, or, by senior men browbeaten by the feminist fundamentalists/trade unions within their organisation, are a clear example of sexual discrimination in the workplace.
As ever, it treats people as if their gender is their primary trait so a talented and confident women gets to go on a women-only leadership course but an equally talented but shy man does not go on any course. Or the girl from Rodean goes but the boy from Brixton does not.
These academics ought to look into this as well.
Not just in the UK, but all over the Anglophile world; America, Australia, Canada, New Zealand etc etc. Everywhere that the curse of feminism has spread like a weed imported from a foreign clime, it takes over the habitat, strangling the native fauna - men.
