Yes, I completely agree with you on the contradiction between girls being ahead in school, and men still being ahead in the workplace. It's not as if the academic success of girls is recent, so it should be filtering into work. And it's shocking that people with lower skills will get jobs they're not entitled to just because of who they are. It doesn't exactly bode well either for business, government or the economy in the future.
The education system in the UK has gone from bad to worse also - too much meddling from politicians amongst other things, but also a general dumbing down of culture. Intelligence is not valued in the way it once was.
