That's not really a silver lining. It means she is only qualified to teach the next generation.
Also, I think the idea that women are emotional and men are not is complete BS. I believe men are just as emotional (and illogical at times) as women: They just don't display their emotions as openly as women do.
Not necessarily. With tenure, the only way most professors leave a university is through retirement. Even then, they often stick around as professors emeritus, never really leaving until they pass on. There are few openings in academia, and many applicants.
Even in the sciences, graduate students are groomed for a career in academia. It is ridiculous, given the difficulty of landing a faculty position. For us, however, there are plenty of opportunities outside of academia.

When making decisions, there are people who weight emotional considerations more heavily than logical/rational considerations, and vice versa. I think that women tend to be more emotion driven, and men more logic driven. Feminists and radical leftists, however, actively discourage people from making reason-based decisions. They decry reason and logic as too "patriarchal." This is the same kind of dynamic used to keep black people poor and oppressed--except that they have to eschew the qualities of successful people, because it makes them "too white."
