“Educated” does not equal intelligent.

Many of those “educated” women got worthless degrees.

In the long run its a good thing for men.

They wont be trapped in a one sided, biased marriage, then raped in divorce court.

The only reason women have any privileges, is that men have allowed them. Systemic male oppression is as mythological as systemic racism. Virtually every convenience, luxury, and opportunity that women enjoy today, is thanks to men.

And have for decades. Back in the early 80s they started demanding Comparable Worth because their crap degree didn’t pay as much as the 20 years working janitor was getting.

And they scream unequal pay if they are on their first job and a man in an equal position with 5 years experience makes more.

Whiney biatches.

Also, not everyone is offered the same starting salary.

Yup. They’re all feminists until a cowboy shows up.

Women with college degrees are DUMBER than ever. It’s all Leftist propaganda. It’s not education.

“Being higher educated means a lot less today. The higher the degree the more indoctrinated.”

Also a person with a lot less personal debt.

These women often expect the “starter husband” to pay off their debt, then they divorce them.

“All hail the coming Matriarchy!”

Europe is there already, which is why they’re now an Immigrant-infested Fascist society eager as hell to start World War 3.

I wanted to mary a blonde that had a lower IQ than me. One out of two wishes isn’t bad.

“In retrospect, an electricians license would have been a golden choice. I think it still is!”

DEFINITELY if Trump, then Vance, are able to clear out the Illegals. Should that happen, we would be a WHOLE NEW COUNTRY, one in which Americans also did the hard work - something most cannot imagine, since we only had that for about 194 years (through about 1970).

Also, a college education doesn’t really mean you are “educated” nowadays.

Today it usually means deeply in debt with a diploma that is nothing more than a hall pass to another degree and more debt. I married a Conservative woman with a degree and a successful career in Computer Science.

A degree is just a piece of paper, but genuine intelligence is attractive and makes a long marriage enjoyable.

But... which spouse earns more money? That’s the real question.
