Tumblr is so toxic lmao. I’m a girl born in England with two Ugandan Indian parents who were forced out of their country because of Idi Amin. But because I support England as a team – the country which gave my parents a home as well as myself – I’m a coloniser? Okay then, whatever.

“Women going to college more than men these days, going to better more expensive colleges, and possibly picking careers that can take longer schooling…. is the patriarchy”
My GOD lol
I decided to read the article and now I have cancer
Get 👏 Better 👏 Degrees 👏 For 👏 Better 👏 Paying 👏 Fields 👏
Women get more opportunities to get into college, this is patriarchy.
Many of these women choose degrees that will have poor economic value, this is ALSO patriarchy.
Doctors in Russia are more likely to be female, therefore medicine is seen as a woman’s job and is devalued, with Russian doctors being paid about the equivalent of an American elementary school teacher (which is also, wouldn’t you know it, primarily female!)
In order to demonstrate the opposite we can look to Information Technology as a field. It was originally considered womens work, due to our history as switchboard operators and small hands which were “better suited” for wiring work. As men began to enter the field it became more prestigious, and now silicon valley is populated by highly-paid IT specialists, very few of whom are women.

And women need to get at least one level higher of education, on average, to earn the same as a man. So even if they go into the same field as men, they need to accrue more debt to be paid the same.
@sayaka-against-onision over priced text books are an actual problem. There is a reason people share links to PDF files and cheap text books.
@savageoppressme you hear that women are only 6% more but are in debt almost 4 billion dollars more than male students and that is your first response.
Try considering other factors instead of assuming they aren’t going for better paying field because they women in those fields are also burdened with more debt than their male counterparts.
@derpomatic women go to college and regardless of what degree they choose they are paid less than their male counterparts and discriminated against and are more likely to have higher debts than their male counterparts.
