Backlash against college educated women

Anonymous
Most girls see their moms stressed out from work and see their grandmas generation are happier or at least it seems to be that way

I think half of women Today would prefer increasing wages and reducing college tuition for men if it meant they could be stay at home moms and one income families again.

I think the issue is that we've had women in institutions for a generation now. Can anyone point to an institution that is--in an absolute sense--better with women involved in leadership? Look at universities: The parties are lamer, the grades are easier, the number of useless degrees has proliferated, the quality of scholarship has declined (see, e.g., the replication crisis), and the ability to debate has evaporated. All that has happened as women have become a larger portion of faculties, administrative leadership, and student bodies.


We’ve had men in MOST leadership positions in this country for hundreds of years! It that why things are soooooo great?


I mean yes. What other society would you prefer to live in?

While I don’t disagree with the PP, a lot of the nonsense that these College educated women believe are ideologies initiated by men:
Anti - racism - Kendi
Critical legal theory - Unger
Marx
Transgender/transexual - John money
Intersectionality with Crenshaw is an exception.

But yes, women are pulled into these nonsensical ideologies at higher rates than men. I believe the poster on the first page correctly attributed this to women’s long observed tendency to be more religious than men. In this case as an atheist I agree that they are better served following Christianity than harmful pseudo intellectual nonsense.


Wokeness really is a religion, complete with catechisms and rites.

Incredibly, Women are the second class to men in wokeism too despite being the major believers, brains, and advocates of it.

Men don’t necessarily feel the need to be part of an ingroup or social network so it makes sense women are part of the woke faith

No, it was about the American people rejecting the Left's utterly stupid idea that it's okay for the government to tell social media companies to censor political opponents because "we only burn the bad books." You have to be unimaginably ignorant of history to support the censorship industrial complex or any of its dog whistles about "malinformation," "misinformation," and "disinformation," all of which can more accurately be characterized as "shit that leftists disagree with."


If you don't get that Elon bought Twitter to promote russia disinformation and that disinformation has permeated our "marketplace of ideas" and that is dangerous for the republic, then I don't know what to tell you.

Why?

They will live in a fundamentalist Christian Nationalist country of their own doing and may never know the freedoms and liberty that women of the late 20th century to now have enjoyed.

So what's your rationale for why the majority of white women (including myself) voted for Trump?
And no, I didn't cower to my husband. He's far more to the left than I am.
And I'm college educated to boot.


Amy number of reasons;

You don’t trust yourself or woman in power and want to have a daddy figure telling you want to do because it makes you more comfortable

You believed trump will help your business or help you economically

You want people deported even though you use their services all the time- from your produce to your lawn service to your nails

You are Christian and pro life and never had your life in jeopardy due to pregnancy issues so you think you are immune

You believe in RFKs crazy and want the pure healthy life you were painted by him
Tell us, why did you vote for trump?


No. I believed he will end the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. You probably never had your leg ripped off by an IEP because you are privileged.


Ending them by handing over Ukraine to Russia and Gaza to Netanyahu will just create even more problems. We all want the wars to end, but why should Putin be rewarded for invading another country?

My mother is retired so I guess that is why she is a "happy" grandma with a lot of time on her hands? I don't understand your premise, the parents raising teenagers now very likely had working mothers. I was a latch key kid.

Fundamentalism is never going to die. Tale as old as time. Conservatism always makes a comeback every 70 years or so and not just in Christianity. Cultural resets like this happen due to political events or social upheaval or an idea that the current government or political system is failing or not making the middle class thrive

Why. They will have successful careers and your daughters will be their nannies because you have encouraged their victimhood.

Trad wife isn’t a career, dear.


It was for my grandmothers, and mother, and MIL. And it was a pretty nice gig too.



Wow the existence of this post completely proves OP’s point.


You haven't figure out that lots of women find it more satisfying to focus on home matters and child-rearing, than working 40+ hours a week, being chronically exhausted and only getting to spend about 2 hour a night with their kids?


Don't waste your time. They haven't figured out the government has done a steady job of brainwashing the population into thinking everyone must work all the time and pay more taxes to support government welfare since post WW2.


Most of the "government welfare" goes to the very wealthy and the corporations.

Moms stressed out from work? Moms are buying homes and cars and educations for their kids and teaching their sons and daughters how to do the same.

OMG. What complete drivel. This election was about common sense issues, not identity politics and gaslighting. Too bad Democrats didn't run a candidate who addressed the issues that MOST Americans are concerned with, but do continue whining about "racism and sexism."

Also, maybe refresh your memory - how many billionaires back Democrats??


The Democratic candidate addressed the economy, reducing prices and promoting individual freedoms.
The republican candidate promoted authoritarianism and has yet to define how he will address the high costs that permeate our society.

But please tell us more about the bolded.

Teach your daughters and sons to be trad wives if that is what you value. Go ahead, But at least give them an education so they don't go through life ignorant,

Right. Gen Z are looking for an easy way to quick retirement and becoming women of leisure. They are not workhorses with a great work ethic. I expect many of these girls from Gen Z will fail in the 9-5 40 hour workplace. They have different priorities and don’t necessarily believe contributing to the “establishment”/government and society by working all the time is productive or noble. Gen Z do not like to even go outside to pick up groceries or food. They want everything delivered. This is the stay in place and stay home generation. The modern workplace has already done mass firings of Gen Z and they haven’t even been in the workplace or out of school for that long. Covid’s quarantines only made things worse.

They march for Gaza, but they don't do anything for the things that matter for middle class Americans. Useless rich girls. And I think that leads to some resentment for people who are dealing with health insurance, affording rent, paying for groceries, and so on. Progressive interests have nothing to do with most families in America.


and yeet, you all voted for a grifter who doesn't give a crap about the people referenced in the bolded. And sadly for those people, things are about to get a whole hell of a lot worse.
