Wow! Women now make up 57 per cent of university entrants, and they outnumber men in every subject — including maths and engineering. Speaking as an ardent feminist, I expect that this will have many wonderful results: a culture that is more feng shui and emotionally literate and altogether nicer, and an economy that benefits from unleashing the phenomenal energy and talents of British women who are — if GCSEs, A-levels and university entrance results mean anything -- currently giving the male sex a good old intellectual whipping.
Obviously a corner of my heart worries about some aspects of the coming feminisation. Will we all become even more safety-conscious, regulation-prone and generally incapable of beating the Australians at anything than we already are And even if the feminist revolution is good and unstoppable, we should perhaps consider some of the downsides — and the most intere
