Once upon a time I asked someone if they had ever hired a man. This was my exact wording:
I was accused of being unrealistic and delusional. If that's the case I suppose I am not the only person with the same delusion. Read this post.
My question is two fold and is directed at people responsible for hiring. However you are free to participate in this poll as if you were the person responsible for hiring.
The first question: Do you prefer to hire men or women?
The second question: What is the appropriate mix of male/female ratio?

You might have already answered the question. It might have gotten missed. Have you ever hired a man in your current supervisory role? If so, what is the mix? 10% men/90% women? 50% men/50% women? 75% men/25% women? or no preference/doesn't weigh into the decision at all? Some people might be curious about the situation.

The result has been that men are increasingly dropping out of society. They don't marry, they don't go to college because they see no reason to break their humps to get ready to provide for a family -- they aren't going to be having a family.
Lots has been written about this phenomena, most of it in the strain of "why is it that men are so childish now." But men are not dropping out because of arrested development. They are acting rationally in response to myriad laws, attitudes and hostility against them for the crime of happening to be male in the twenty-first century.
