Is our world still male dominated? Or have females taken up the title?

I was laying around one day and I began to think, are men still the privileged gender in our world. I did a bit of research and found out that a male (in an average office job presumably) is more likely to be fired than a female, that a male is more likely to lose their home and/or family custody rights in lawsuits, and films, media and such seem to have been portraying the phallic-bearing ones of our species with some kind of descriptive contempt, as if all men were ignorant, perverted killers or something.

So I have been wondering: “What does Fluther think about this?”, and thus I ask, are ladies up on top now or not? Why do you think this?
