not all degrees are created equal. they may cost the same, but they don't deliver the same outcomes.
Everyone knows that. The bigger point is obvious. Everyone also doesn’t care about money the same. Someone who decides to go into public interest is accepting that they won’t be rich. But they will get that job over the non-degree holder.

Wonder how this breaks down racially, there are several large data driven narratives that break down when the race variable is introduced.
Honesty I feel like dis list might kill off a certain narrative on black twitter :jbhmm:

I'd be very interested to see those #'s normalized to educational attainment. My first guess was that the much greater college graduation rate for women in recent years is a major factor.



these replies had me double checking if i was in TLR...men really are threatened by the rising independence of women :wow:, don't worry, yall still stifling reproductive choice all over this country


I actually scrolled up to check myself before I even got to your comment, WTF is up with the women-hating comments as the goto response off the bat?

Yo, reading deeper into the thread, did the fact that "women" was in the title and it was trending just cause it to get a bunch of TLR attention?


The first 16 responses outside of Dora are either insulting/bytching about women or arguing with Dora. :skip:

Don’t care how much a woman makes can she follow my directions and show some respect with I speak. If not she is inadequate as a woman.

I was just about to ask, "What happened to the wage gap?"

shyt like this (and a ton of other similar responses) is making me wonder whether some of y'all can even read the OP.

In 16% of metro areas, young women make more than young men.

In 84% of metro areas, young men make more than young women.

Overall, young women in metro areas across the USA make 93% of what young men make.



Likely in 100% of non-metro areas, young men make more than young women.

Likely in 100% of all areas, 30+ year old men make more than 30+ year old women.



Y'all literally took an article that said a tiny subset of women had finally achieved income equality with men, while the vast majority of women still do not, and took that to mean there must not be an issue anymore.

Women are getting more educated, pursuing positions held by men in the past and consistently
being "Go getters". There's a cultural revolution happening and there is a wide cultural push for women
to educate themselves, earn higher salaries and "Succeed".

I see it and saw it all the time.
Over half of the classes in the courses I was taking were filled with women, I consistently found myself wondering where the men were at and more specifically MINORITY MEN.

There are a lot of ways in which the educational system fails young boys, and young black and brown boys in particular.

Back in the day the system was so dismissive of women that the ways in which it failed boys was less noticeable. But as women began to get an equal playing field at the K-12 level, it became apparent that the # of boys who were failing to graduate from high school or be prepared from college was much higher than the # of girls. For the most part the issues causing this aren't particularly new, and there's always been that certain subset of boys that the system was failing, it's just easier to recognize the problem now.

A lot of you guys don’t sound like white collar professionals, which is fine but all this onlyfans talk is hilarious.

We've had this argument on TLR and there are a significant # of people there who insist and appear to truly believe that most young women are on OnlyFans and that a good number of them are making bank.

In reality, you can look up the statistics and see that less than 1% of young American women are on OnlyFans and the average creator makes $40 a week.

The fact that their impression of the importance of OnlyFans to women is so distant from reality gives you an idea of where those posters must be spending their time and money.

@Rhakim Pre K should be included in that as well. Working for an head start agency right now, 80+% women and the money they make is directly tied to the amount of education they get/have coming in.

My question to you is does anyone want to fix/challenge the issues men have getting higher education?
Especially when it may put women at risk :patrice:
