There was an excellent article awhile back by Camille Paglia. She stated that academia (which she is a part of; and which she is critical of) had become to ‘feminized.’ And that by pandering to the feminists; ‘true’ males (or words to that affect) who had in use for or interest in liberal arts were being given the shaft. It was a great article (Camille gets it right alot of the time) she expressed that she felt entrepernurial skills, and blue collar jobs were wrongly looked down upon and that not everyone was destined to be happy in a cubicle She tauted that we are raising another generation of MBAs but there are few skilled workers (plumbers, electricians, etc). Great piece, and as four of my children are boys one that I read w/great interest.
A social worker agreed?
They’re even more liberal than teachers!
Yes - I’ve seen many do a turnabout when they had to start raising boys. It’s a good thing.
This is all part of the “one world” Hillary plan. Haven’t you heard her talk about how NASA told her she couldn’t be an astronaut and that was her dream.
One of the main goals on the UN site is promoting and educating women. I think that the two income broken family is all part of the ploy. The more women out of the home, the more the government education system has power of all their subjects.
I think they are “ruined” by the universities themselves. The amount of psycho babble that is taught to teach math and reading is amazing.
>>Most of these degrees are in useless studies such as communication, English, and other liberal arts.<<
Yep, a fair comparison would adjust by the quality of the degree and the quality of the school.
When men are no longer getting Engineering degrees from Cal Tech and MIT or business degrees from Stanford and Wharton then we can talk about discrimination that matters.
aaarrrggghhh, teaching math, don’t get me started. I have never seen such drivel. My husband, a Caltech guy, froths at the mouth when I ask for help with the algebra text I am slogging through — for my 8th graders. The science is bad, the explanations are worse, and the amount of compost in the book is ridiculous.
Plus, it runs $100+!! Shuck and jive.
