Women Owe Almost $400 Billion More in Student Debt Than Men Do. You Can Blame That on the Patriarchy. (Glamour mag)

It's amazing how the 'patriarchy' can force women to empower themselves by going to college and then take the blame for whatever goes wrong. Why doesn't the 'patriarchy' get blamed for women getting college degrees and becoming extremely successful? Maybe the 'patriarchy' should make college free for women so the 'patriarchy' can be blamed for women not going to college.

This article illustrates the true danger of identity politics and the direction feminism is currently going. Group identity and the fabled "patriarchy" are convenient, easy, excuses for the individual actions and choices of women and men. Women don't go into trade professions, which accounts for a significant portion of the wage gap as it is calculated by these idiotic articles, and instead go to college, where they dominate the low income humanities degrees. All of these are choices freely made by women that have complete autonomy to lessen their future financial burdens, but can instead now blame any failure not on their own choices but on this invisible "patriarchy" that's been holding a knife to their throat and forcing them to get a degree in women's studies that won't get a job that can pay off their student loans.

The ultimate irony is the article even addresses the 12% gap between men and women going to college, and doesn't seem to think there's any problem with that. Would the authors ideal situation be only women allowed to attend college that men work to pay for? That sounds insane but it's a fairly logical conclusion of this line of thinking.

Shouldn't have made it such a toxic environment for men. Plain and simple.

60% of graduates are Women. Therefore they should hold 1.5 times more debt overall.
Women graduate with less in demand degrees. Causing this gap to increase

This is gender discrimination against men not being 50% of graduates. Its not a gender issue if women chose less in demand degrees.

Archive this crab, don't give them any clicks: http://archive.is/3bSlB

If you believe in patriarchy theory you're a conspiracy nutjob to begin with and shouldn't be taken seriously

Another idiotic article written by a woman blaming men.

SilverKajin · 2018-05-26T22:05:21+00:00

The main problem is women don't go into professions that pay worth of crap. Prime example my son graduated last night he was salutatorian he's going to Georgia Institute of Technology on a full-ride for aerospace engineering. The valedictorian was a very nice young lady who is going to Florida State University to study music theory. Now if both of these students didn't have full rides which one of them would have a problem with student debt later in life and which wouldn't and I don't believe it's based on Plumbing.

If true patriarchy existed, this wouldn't have happened. What the world really needs in a new rational value based system with emotional support only for motivation. Lack of such a value system where men are pandering to pussies created the current situation. Women should put pandering pansies under a thick rubber ram and surely men will start smarting up. It will only take due time.

Women now earn 65% of Bachelor's degrees and are something like 65-70% of college attendees. Therefore by simple math, women as a whole will owe more student loan debt than men. And now THAT is men's fault, too...fucking hilarious.

Lupinfujiko · 2018-05-27T06:02:46+00:00

Crunch the numbers, and arrive at this stunner of a statistic: Women hold two thirds of the $1.4 trillion in student loans in the United States.

Was it not their choice to get a loan?

TracyMorganFreeman · 2018-05-27T04:56:04+00:00

As usual, feminists treat being held responsible for your decisions as oppression.

Lupinfujiko · 2018-05-27T06:10:34+00:00

This is completely absurd.

We can see the end game goal here. Erase student debt for women.

This is because a great deal of the people writing about these subjects in the media are (or have friends) women with student debt.

Completely ignoring the advantages gained in society by having a degree. An advantage that, incidentally, probably got them their job.

They probably wouldn't be where they are if they hadn't taken the student loans that they did.

Which was part of the deal. Which they knew when they signed the paper.

thrway_1000 · 2018-05-27T10:49:04+00:00

What ridiculous bullshit. The patriarchy is a fantasy. And the reason that women have more debt is because they have a distinct advantage in school and getting into college (and through it). This is bitching about privilege while wanting even more privilege.

If a man is alone in the woods and no womyn are around, is he still oppressing womyn? We asked this difficult question to a diverse group of feminists and the unanimous answer was "Yes! Men only exist to oppress womyn! Any problem a womyn faces in life is because of the patriarchy! Even problems that affect men too! If a womyn is held back in life from doing any damn thing she pleases, its because men are sexist rapist toxic pigs! If a womyn has to face any negative consequences for her actions, its because the patriarchy fears her and her fierce independence!" In our next segment we ask our panel of feminists if all men really deserve to die. Stay tuned to hear their infallible opinions! All praise womyn!

This shit is made up. Stop posting it. Post stuff about men’s issues. Men’s right has turned into a bitch fest about women. Focus on the guys for fuck sake who give a shit about them we have our own problem.

Gee, if only they'd used their debt-financed educations to enter more lucrative fields....

Are_Ya_Sure · 2018-05-27T12:00:15+00:00

I snickered a bit at the surname of the feminist “Deborah Vagins”.

2018-05-29T20:08:39+00:00

Sure you can, it was men who set these programs up to shut women up. Now they have a free education that male tax payers will get the bill for, and they're still going to just shack up with some rich dude who will fund their lives because working is hard. Women just want to talk about things, not actually do them...
