The new female ascendency, How will society be changed by the over-production of female graduates?
The Critic ^ | December 2021 | Mary Harrington

Posted on 12/15/2021 7:34:04 AM PST by Brookhaven

“one of the most reliable predictors of state collapse and high political instability is elite overproduction”.

...the Wall Street Journal reported that over the last year, the proportion of female-to-male college students has shifted to 59.5 per cent vs 40.5 per cent respectively.

In the next two years, if the trend holds, two women will earn a college degree for every man.

Historically, highly qualified would-be-professionals and public sector administrators have been almost exclusively male. But the new American elite will be, as Samuel Goldman argued recently in The Week, female. If this system is not just producing an elite but — as Turchin argues — overproducing it, will the unprecedented prevalence of women among the “disgruntled literates” make any difference to the forms their disgruntlement takes?

A competing female elite

A new office politics

The end of marrying up?

The article is really long, so I've only quoted some of the headings.

But it asks a question that needs to be answered: what will the world look like when 2/3 of college degrees are held by women.

How will men, as the new "uneducated" class, fit into this world?

Never before in any nation have so many post menapausal demented old ladies achieved high office and have had real political power. They are ruining the American nation.

More importantly, how will society be affected by young women buried in student loan debt for nonsense degrees?

Look at Cuba. Doctors make just a little more than the average worker there. The world they are trying to build will be nothing like they imagine. Everybody will be poor except a few oligarchs at the top.

Dudes are going elsewhere instead of junk four year college. Our 21 YO son is training to be an HVAC journeyman, a rather more vital license to have than trans studies when it’s January or August.

If you want to know what the world will look like if this trend prevails, just take a look at the public education system. How is that working out for the best?

Look at Western Europe. Feminized leadership has brought in an invasion of violent third world people have turned western Europe in to the violent third world. Muslims rape and murder. Africans rape and murder. And mamma still coddles the invaders by punishing anyone who dare speak out against the invasion. Mamma gonna protect you from hirt feelings even as Muhammad rapes a young girl. Mamma gonna make sure all those single mothers are supported so an explosion of single teenage moms run around breeding and on welfare. Mamma gonna save you from covid so lock down and wear your mask. Mamma gonna punish that mean man who said a bawdy joke. The house is burning down but mamma gonna keep those big smelly patriarchal oppressive cisgender men from putting out the fire. Momma gonna let you be you so, yes, you really are a girl even if you were born with a penis so go ahead and visit the women’s toilet.

I guess it depends on what their degrees are in.
But I guess you could say look to Sweden to see the future of a majority female world.

They will pass taxes on working men to pay their loans. MGTOW is popular for a reason.

Historically babies trim their career effort.

Politically they are more liberal...we are already living that and have since the 1960s when they diverged from their husbands voting patterns

And what exactly is the ratio of females to males with technical or
engineering degrees, I think I read that it is 1 in 5...with the exception of
nursing degrees, women mainly dominate in liberal arts degrees that for
the most part don't pay a whole lot unless you pursue a law degree...

Every policy and slush fund this administration has created is to subsidize single mothers and deadbeats.

You are damned right these rabid, twisted, childless drones of feminism are destroying this country.

We live in the age of the entitled, angry, Marxist spinsters. ,

By definition a matriarchal culture despises its men and will import replacements.

The new female ascendency, How will society be changed by the over-production of female graduates?


One has to assume that the college degrees are worth anything in the first place.

Men will do all the work that needs to be done, while degreed feminists argue over the meaning of some word and which emotions are preferred in a given situation.

Mostly large numbers of degreed women will do nothing positive to America. Only a few will be in STEM and, then any results will have to agree with whatever political consensus-driven agenda they hold.

I think when calculating the total number of degrees acquired by women there should be some adjustment made for DINOs (Degrees In Name Only). A case can be made for ignoring non-STEEM degrees in the total primarily because a woman with a ‘studies’ degree in ‘African Women’s Sexual Habits’ will never make enough of an income to support a family.

I work in a technical field.

At the hands on level, the employees are primarily men.

But, as you move up into management, it reverses. Most of the managers are female.

The upper management at my current (and previous) company are ALL female.
