Women are officially trouncing men in the classroom. That’s correct, the ivory towers once inhabited almost exclusively by men have been penetrated, ransacked, and repossessed by females. According to data, 60 percent of college students are now female. Ladies obtain 170,000 more bachelor degrees annually than their male counterparts. The ratios of women to males at business and medical colleges are steadily rising, and, at law schools, females now claim a majority. Meanwhile, growing numbers of boys from elementary to high school are struggling to meet minimum standards, leaving educators and administrators puzzled, unsure of what happened.

Where did this trend come from? A few theories exist. One suggests that girls, who tend to gravitate toward cooperation, alliance, multi-tasking, and sitting quietly, are better matched socially for the established school system. Boys, on the other hand, who yearn for exploration, contest, and physical action, have a tendency to be square pegs in round holes, so to speak, in academics. Other theories propose that the feminist movement, with its continual stream of “girl power” messaging, and the relative silence from the male side are accountable for this remarkable swing. For almost 40 years now, girls have had multitudes of proponents telling them they carry the torch for those who didn’t have the opportunities they did, that they must go out demonstrate that they can do it- for their mothers, aunts, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers. Males, on the other hand, sitting high on the hog, have had very little to scrap for; support generally involves sports rather than academics.

Two bastions of male supremacy still linger, however: management and earnings. Men still greatly outnumber females in administration jobs. Average male pay in comparable jobs routinely outpace those of their female peers.

It may just be a matter of time before those ladies who now populate colleges spread into the corporations of the world. It may just be a matter of time before women come to dominate industry, politics, and life as we know it. It may be just a matter of time before guys find themselves wearing really uncomfortable corsets and having to watch their figures. (Kiss your 32 oz. steaks and burping contests goodbye!)

All of Mom’s advice about being nice to girls totally makes sense now. Back then, it was about chivalry. In the future, it may be about survival.

Motorcyclist Dies When He Hits Wifes Vehicle

The point of this awareness campaign is to get the folks driving the cars and trucks to pay a little extra attention and to watch out for those riding their bikes and trikes. Emphasis will be placed throughout the month on things like reminding drivers that motorcycles are smaller than most vehicles so they are a little easier to overlook. Pay extra attention when driving to look for motorcycles and trikes. Be sure when checking their side mirrors when driving to watch in their blind spot for bikers. It really doesn’t matter if you are on a big Vintage Harley Davidson or a little Yamaha XT folks are looking for cars and trucks when they are driving and not motorcycles. So we all have to be aware and drive defensively. In addition wear your safety gear when riding.

Here are a few additional safety tips for folks to be aware of during the heavy riding season:

For the Automobile Driver

• Remember the motorcycle is a vehicle with all of the rights and privileges of any other motor vehicle on the roadway. Always allow a motorcyclist the full lane width — never try to share a lane

• Always make a visual check for motorcycles by checking mirrors and blind spots before entering or leaving a lane of traffic and at intersections

• Always signal your intentions before changing lanes or merging with traffic

• Don’t be fooled by a flashing turn signal on a mo?torcycle — motorcycle signals are often not self-canceling and riders sometimes forget to turn them off. Wait to be sure the motorcycle is going to turn before you proceed

• Allow more following distance, three or four sec?onds, when behind a motorcycle, so the motorcyclist has enough time to maneuver or stop in an emer?gency. And don’t tailgate. In dry conditions, motorcycles can stop more quickly than cars.

For the Bikers

• Avoid riding in poor weather conditions

• Wearing brightly colored protective gear and a DOT-compliant helmet

• Using turn signals for every turn or lane change, even if the rider thinks no one will see it

• Combining hand and turn signals to draw more attention to themselves

• Using reflective tape and stickers

• Positioning themselves in the lane where they will be most visible to other drivers

So be safe as we get the 2009 riding season under way!
