Every day we hear over and over how more women are going to college, but what is never revealed or drawn attention to is the fact that 90% of women only major in the absolutely easiest subjects and graduate with degrees that are absolutely worthless in the job market. Here are the top 10 majors for women and men both: http://imgur.com/1R7IXcC
The only major women take that is worth anything at all in the job market are the healthcare majors, but they only choose nursing and all the easiest ones in that field as well.
It is true that a lot of men major in crap too as you can see on the graph, but number 3 & 4 as you can see in the top 10 for men are engineering and computer science; the degrees that are worth the most in the job market after graduating college anyway.
I live in a university town bursting with 23 year old women with degrees in psychology and English literature working at Applebee's and Home Depot and various places like that. That's why more women are going to college yet 98% of them are STILL working as secretaries (no. 1 job more women are in than any other) and then nurse, teacher, cashier. Dept of Labor: http://www.dol.gov/wb/factsheets/20lead2010.htm
Men still do all the extremely important and necessary work including all the most critical jobs in medical and legal- and still dominate industry, hell, everything. So as you can see, all of this 'more women going to college' nonsense is nothing more than a farce- it's true, but meaningless. College has now become nothing more than a very expensive summer camp for girls and they're just playing around. Tell them all of this when they get in your face about how more women are in college.
