Women are already getting more of the university degrees, even in important/prestigious fields like law and medicine. It won't be long until more lawyers translates to more politicians, judges, and lobbyists; more businesswomen translates into more CEOs; more journalists become more Editors-in-Chief. The pieces are already in place for women's power to surpass men's. The question then would be whether feminism is willing to do for men what it will have done for women, with the same tools, or will it continue to seek redress for historical injustice. Will there be quotas, affirmative action, tokenism, "men in medicine" programs the way there is "women in STEM", or will 40%-male be considered an appropriate counterbalance to the bulk of history?
