The most profitable gender

Economist:

The economic empowerment of women across the rich world is one of the most remarkable revolutions of the past 50 years. ...[M]illions of people who were once dependent on men have taken control of their own economic fates.
...
Women earn substantially less than men on average and are severely under-represented at the top of organisations.

So the "economic fate" of women has passed through the hands of the husband into the hands of the boss -- who profits by explicitly discriminating on the basis of gender! Meanwhile, The Economist celebrates women as a rapidly growing portion of "the workforce," yet somehow fails to connect these trends.
