No Country for Burly Men (USA) by Christina Hoff Sommers

Nearly 80 percent of the jobs lost since December 2007, in fields like construction and manufacturing, were held by men. Thus, to respond to actual economic needs, the Obama stimulus plan would have skewed toward male-dominated industries. But feminist advocacy groups in Washington hijacked the stimulus, getting the administration to add funding to boost employment in (still-growing) fields dominated by women, like health care, education, and social services. Four months after the stimulus bill's passage, the lion's share of funding is not addressing America's real unemployment challenges.
