Women and Homosexual Men Excel in Today's Service Economy

The US is gradually changing from a manufacturing economy to a service economy, as manufacturing jobs are offshored and the demand for healthcare and other services increase as the Baby Boomers retire.

With this transition comes a host of changes, challenges and surprises. Laid-off workers who were previously employed in manufacturing must now retool and seek employment in services. Engineers who were laid-off may have to retrain for a career in healthcare or a related field. One of the biggest changes, however, comes not to workers in specific industries but rather to an entire class of people: Heterosexual men are at a disadvantage in today's service economy, while women and homosexual men excel.  

Why? Why are heterosexual men at a disadvantage to women and homosexual men, and what does sexuality have to do with it? The reason why is because women and homosexual men tend to be kinder, friendlier, more compassionate, more caring, and more empathetic than heterosexual men do. Additionally, they place greater emphasis on communication and forming social bonds than heterosexual men, and these characteristics lend themselves well to a service economy.

Heterosexual men tend to be less talkative, more aggressive, more competitive, less caring and empathetic than women and homosexual men, and these characteristics put them at a disadvantage in a service economy. The reason why this difference in behavior exists is because of hormonal differences. High testosterone levels produce these traits in heterosexual men, while high estrogen levels produce the corresponding traits in women and homosexual men.
