9. 1) Yes. More women do go to college. YET men STILL

outearn women by a large margin.
2) "libs" as you refer to us, also face difficulties. That never stopped the bros from demonizing us. From my observation, throwing their nonsense back in their faces is the only thing that makes them back off.
3) Women face the same cultural and technological changes. The only difference is they weren't raised with unearned advantages, thus they don't fall apart when a tenth of those unearned advantages are taken away.
4) Again, the same applies to women, yet they don't respond by wanting to take all men's rights away.

In short, spare me. This is not about "dislocation" or whatever other bullshit excuse people make for it. It's about racism and sexism and butt-hurt that a few of the many unearned advantages of white men have been taken away.

I wonder why more women are graduating from college Wicked Blue Apr 29 #18
They don't need to. When they get out into the workforce, they still make considerably more than women. Scrivener7 Apr 29 #20
