She measures rooms at a MLS home, provides at a

each room. Little deal? Big deal? The average

built to exploit the Internet. Their business

salesman who greets her at the door. But how is
she treated? As if she has a low IQ , is
slightly hard of hearing , and really has no
right to be buying a luxury car and if she

One thing is certain Womens rise to power,
which is linked to the increase in wealth per
capita, is happening in all domains and at all
levels of society. Women are no longer content to
provide efficient labor or to be consumers with
rising budgets and more autonomy to spend.
This is just the beginning. The phenomenon will
only grow as girls prove to be more successful
than boys in the school system. For a number of
observers, we have already entered the age of
womenomics, the economy as thought out and
practiced by a woman. Aude Zieseniss de

10 UNASSAILABLE REASONS WOMEN
RULE Women make all the financial
decisions.Women control all the wealth. Women
substantially outlive men. Women start most of
the new businesses. Womens work force
participation rates have soared
worldwide. Women are closing in on same pay for
same job. Women are penetrating senior
ranks rapidly even if the pace is slow for
the corner office per se. Womens
leadership strengths are exceptionally well
aligned with new organizational effectiveness
value-added imperatives. Women are better
salespersons than men. Women buy almost
everythingcommercial as well as consumer
goods. So what exactly is the point of men?

One particularly puzzling category of
youth-obsession is the highly coveted target of
men 18-34, and its always referred to as highly
coveted category. Marketers have been distracted
by men age 18-34 because they are getting harder
to reach. So what? Who wants to reach them?
Beyond fast food and beer, they dont buy much of
anything. The theory is that if you get them
while theyre young, theyre yours for life.
