Yeah but MS/PhD degrees in Poetry, Makeup or Child Caring aren’t all that rigorous. /ducking
When I was a kid, an “advanced degree” was an “advance degree”. An “advanced degree” isn’t once what it once was. Ask any employer. Education has been dumbed down to where a diploma is nothing more than a tuition receipt.
A Masters in Mall Shopping isn’t worth anything these days (ducks)
Sexism!
The feminists are going to be marching all over the place.

Except in the hard sciences, engineering, and mathematics.
A BS Chemical Engineer makes more than a PhD Chemist.
It’s officially time to end AA.
I believe this is mainly because teaching, a female dominated profession, pretty much requires a master’s degree in order to stay certified. Social Work, another female dominated profession, has blossomed over the past 30 or so years. Nurses Practitioners are taking over some physician responsibilities and I would challenge anyone to find a graduate nursing program with a 10% male student body.
All this education and they still can’t be taught to leave the toilet seat up.
Let us hope for tha sake of our country, that these women decide to be good stay at home wives, educated enough to raise and home school their little ones. And I hope they begin to have larger families if we are to keep our country healthy and free.
EdD does not count as an advanced degree. I don’t care what they say.
It must be neat for the pretty girls, who can always rely on marrying rich husbands, to have the freedom to enjoy 4 or more years pursuing such fluff degrees. I on the other hand spent my college years juggling classes, an unpaid internship, a part-time job, and performing community service hours, living off two for a dollar food bargains.
I graduated with a B.Sc. in 1975 in a profession that requires passing a certification exam every 6 years.
My first certification tests in 1975 and 1981 were tough but I managed to pass. Then I noticed the numbers of women and minorities in my profession were exploding in the late 70’s and early 80’s. This trend has continued.
Since then, passing my certification tests has been a breeze. The dumbing down to accomodate protected “minorities” who can’t cut it continues full speed ahead.
We are so screwed.
Can you still get a Masters or PhD in advanced underwater basket weaving these days?
Time to invest in rubber toys.
just great
one day women may have sperm too
who knows
they can then self reproduce
they will still create drama...just wait
But just remember, folks. Women are still oppressed, underpaid compared to men, and they need all kinds of “extra” laws to protect them, like Title IX and VAWA. /sarc

What’s really interesting is that the higher a degree a woman attains the less likely a man is to marry her.
