Ummm...yes they are.
It's common sense.
Women - on average - make a LOT more money then they did 40 years ago (the CEO's of Pepsi, HP, IBM, Lockheed Martin, Dupont, General Dynamics, Xerox and Yahoo are ALL women - as examples). And I recall that I read somewhere that there are more women in colleges/universities then men.

Having the 'qualities' of 'fat, rude slobs that make decent money' (and notice I typed 'decent' money - not 'huge piles of' money) is far less in demand then it used to be.
Most women can make 'decent' money on their own now - so why should they put up with some fat, rude slob when they can find a man who makes as much as they do and is as fit, polite as these new women are?
The answer is - they don't have to and most won't.
