And those are all things that women do very well. 女性可以将所有这些事情做的非常的好。
And then on top of that, that's created a kind of
cascading2 effect. 再加上，（她们）创造了一种级联效应。
Women enter the workplace at the top, and then at the working class, 女人进入工作场所的上级，然后在工薪阶层，
all the new jobs that are created are the kinds of jobs that wives used to do for free at home. 所有被创造的新工作曾是主妇们在家里做的免费的工作。
So that's childcare, elder care and food preparation. 也就是照看小孩，照顾老年人和准备食物。

To see what's going to happen, you can't just look at the
workforce4 that is now, 想知道发生了什么，你不能仅观察现在的工作情形，
you have to look at our future workforce. 你需要观察未来的工作情形。
And here the story is fairly simple. 这其实很简单。
Women are getting college degrees at a faster rate than men. 女人们正在以一个比男人们更快的速度获得大学学位。
Why? This is a real mystery. 为什么？这的确不可思议。
I mean, people have asked men, why don't they just go back to college, 人们问男人，为什么不回到大学，
to community college, say, and
retool5 themselves, learn a new set of skills? 回到社区大学，重组自己，学一些新的技术。
Well it turns out that they're just very uncomfortable doing that. 事实上他们对此感到十分的不舒服。
They're used to thinking of themselves as providers, 他们习惯于认为他们是提供者，
and they can't seem to build the social networks that allow them to get through college. 他们似乎看起来不能建立社会关系网来允许他们完成大学。
So for some reason men just don't end up going back to college. 因此，男人最终不能返回学校。
