Men Being Pushed Out of Australian Workplace

This article in The Age focuses on a disturbing Australian trend in which men are being pushed out of the workplace in favor of women. As more and more factory jobs disappear, men are having a difficult time competing with women for jobs in which prejudiced employers feel that women are better-suited (jobs with "people skills," in other words). The author, in the end, justifies the failure of many unemployed men to find work as a fitting comeuppance for Australia's "wage gap." She doesn't see the fallacy in her own logic, however, as even she points out that women are working more part-time jobs than are men.
