My response: So what?
Why the focus on women, then? Should they not be subject to the wider trend?
supply and demand
there are far more college grads seeking fewer jobs
When you have a surplus of something it’ll naturally go down in price. Women outnumber men in almost every college in this country and graduate at a higher rate. They almost never go for the hard sciences, engineering, information technology and the like.
How much of this is due to higher percentages of them graduating with worthless degrees in “Grievance” studies?
War on Women...
Income Inequality....
Government needs to FORCE wages to rise....
Yadda, yadda, yadda...
I was just going to post that very thing. How much of this ‘problem’ is women who’ve majored in art history, sociology and other majors that have negative career opportunities compared to STEM majors?
yeah, they go for medicine and nursing, and law, etc...the easy stuff..../sarcasm/
My mom, bless her heart, used to rant about this topic: “I don’t believe in the girls taking the scholarships away from the boys,” she would say. “And then they take the jobs away from the boys, and they work three or four years and quit.”
If they get their rears back in the kitchen, they wont have to worry about that.

Interesting you should ask. Take any news story. Lets say a huge Tornado strikes Topeka and 2,500 are killed. The news will interview Mrs. Standish who was baking a cake. Her house was destroyed and she lost the cake. Then theyll switch to some colorful half naked pot-bellied guy who describes some minutiae of the event and then tries to ask out the news presenter. Somewhere in the voice-over rush they may mention 2,500 are killed. But they try to personalize the news as thats how theyre taught to do it in college. Frankly, I havent watched a news story in nearly two decades because theyre so badly done. I read the article and skip over the bits where they personalize it with an interview with some idiot.
Yep 25 years of RINO/GOP-e and Dem “Leadership” will do “it” for ya.
And social work, renaissance literature, education, womyn’s studies, journalism, art history, theatre, Africana studies, etc. Or do you deny it?
The difference between men and women is probably that more men major in math and the sciences and computer science - majors that lead to well-paying jobs - whereas a higher percentage of women major in the humanities, which typically pay less.
Not surprising. More of ‘em, competing for fewer jobs, and many with worthless degrees is this-or-that “studies”.
In the ongoing Baraqqi Depression, most of them are working at Kohls, Target, or Macys.
No surprise here.
...degrees IN this-or-that studies.
They also have to compete with illegals and their “degrees” from National Autonomous University
