Money, it's a crime / Share it fairly but dont take a slice of my pie.

Over the last few decades, women have started to take over the sciences. There are still some fields that are heavy in the Y-chromosomes -- certain engineering specialties mostly, maybe physics -- but, women have really made a huge break into fields like biology, chemistry, and even math.

Though it's clear that there are a lot more higher degrees granted to women nowadays, where have all the men gone?

Business school.

Really, when you think about it, it's a good place for the Type A men-breed who were formerly obsessed with the status and fame related to inventions and such in science. B-school creates men of power and leadership who are destined to make a ton of money. Also, it seems like they don't have to work nearly as hard for it. They just have to wear their Striped Shirts, carry around their two thousand dollar laptops (more power than they will ever need) in their leather briefcases, drive their Audis Beamers, and be willing to shell out $60K a year (in-state) for tuition to one of the top B-Schools in the nation.

My very educated mother just served us nine pizza pies




Yup. Happened to me. Well, not that, specifically, but something similar. Probably involving something else scientific. Maybe ending in a breakup, mutual end to an otherwise good friendship, sumo suit throwdown, or reason to put scorpions in someone's bed because they just don't think right.

Just sayin', this science stuff is serious.
