I asked you. You said you don’t think it’s discrimination (which is an obvious lie) so what is it?

This shite is fake news because outside of the woman im currently dating, most of them have been absolutely dumber than a bag of bricks.

I have met literally a few that can hold a high level conversation over the course of my lifetime.

Havening more degrees or more advanced degrees does not make one better educated, it just means that you have more degrees. A MS in art history is not going to earn you more than someone that has a BS in chemical or petroleum engineering.

I need to see degree breakdown before I agree with better educated.

For example, my wife has a dual masters in social work and public health policy. I have an MBA. Would I ever concede my wife is more educated than me?

A Master’s in Social Work or Education isn’t going to earn more than a Bachelors of Business.

better educated?

a college degree ain't what it used to be





Just because you have a doctorates in social library feminine studies doesn't mean you are more valuable to the workforce than Dave the welder without a highschool diploma.

Education isn't limited to a classroom. I contractors who are millionaires and had jobs on construction crews when they were teenagers. Guys are much more likely to do this kind work. Girls are more likely to babysit.

Well, my wife and I are the opposite. I have PhD, she has a bachelor’s degree. She’s a field engineer for an oil service company making more than me teaching and running an engineering department at a small school.

This should be 'invalid' based on the idiot's choice of two similar shades of blue for a line graph, what were they thinking?

All this tells me women are better at being task oriented when working within a defined structure (like college is these days).

For group projects in school I would always work with the same three girls. They were great at scheduling, timelines, and tasks, but they couldn't think outside a box to save their lives, and looked to me for ideas and creativity. I couldn't be bothered with small tedious things, so it worked out perfect for me, always got A's

yeah but we can't have a discussion with nuance. it's discrimination any time there's a disparity in anything.

if women made .70 cents on the dollar for doing the exact same job, then why would any company even hire men?

"Better" is a subjective term.

Stephen F. Austin of Texas history for example. His college Entrance Exam was to reverse translate the Book of Revelation, from English to Latin, backwards (chapter 20.21 to chapter 1.1).

Now how many 18 year olds today could do this just to enroll?

The only thing a degree signifies is that you're credentialed.

credentialed != educated
