We're not the Problem, We're the Solution...

From the Special Section in the NY TIMES - 

"There’s a growing recognition among everyone from theWorld Bank to the U.S. military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff to aid organizations like CARE that focusing on women and girls is the most effective way to fight global poverty and extremism. That’s why foreign aid is increasingly directed to women. The world is awakening to a powerful truth: Women and girls aren’t the problem; they’re the solution."

It's good to see that the guys aren't threatened in this scenario, in fact, they are embracing it.
