i was reading the week on the subway today and came across an article about a canadian hockey team who refused to shave until they were eliminated from the playoffs.  they claimed it was the ultimate symbol of masculinity.  the article then goes on to point out that more men are displaying their masculinity after the traditionally alpha-male industries of finance and automotive have all but toppled and crashed.

that got me thinking.  the alpha-male dominated finance and automotive industries have crashed. hmmm. what does that say about male-dominated industries?  i think in everything there needs to be a balance.  not too many men and not too many women.  any time you have imbalances, it seems to tip the scale and go awry.
