Women invade Mars
Article Abstract:
Men are worried that women appear to be making too much progress toward equality, yet women still do not earn as much as men doing comparable jobs, and few women are chief executives or company directors of large companies. Men can seek equal rights, such as the right to stay away from work with 'men's problems' such as hangovers. Men should also ask women to buy drinks for them. The most important rights that men should seek are the rights to clean the house, iron clothes, cook, and care for children.

Sex discrimination: unemployment
Article Abstract:
UK unemployment figures are higher for men although women's share of the work force is growing. The figure could be skewed because many women do not apply for unemployment and because women's jobs have not been as affected by the recession as traditionally male jobs.
