Last year, women made up the majority of the U.S. workforce for the first time ever. There are more women earning college degrees than men. Are women taking over the position of power in society, or are things just balancing out after years of male domination? A panel of experts debates.

Last year, women made up the majority of the U.S. workforce for the first time ever. There are more women earning college degrees than men. It can't be long before the script is flipped on our traditionally male-dominated society, with women taking over the position of power. Right?

Or is our society just rebalancing itself, with women catching up to men but not replacing them?

A group of experts recently faced off over whether we're facing a man-tastrophe in an Oxford-style debate, part of the Intelligence Squared U.S. series. They argued two against two on the motion "Men Are Finished."

Before the debate, the audience at New York University's Skirball Center for the Performing Arts voted 20 percent in favor of the motion and 54 percent against, with 26 percent undecided. After the debate, 66 percent supported the motion and 29 percent opposed it — making the side arguing that "Men Are Finished" the winners of the debate. Five percent remained undecided.

John Donvan, correspondent for ABC News' Nightline, moderated the debate on Sept. 20. Those debating:
