[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my community, men and women both get STEM degrees and get high salaries.  Older generation support young families in material and emotional ways.  I am not seeing  a decline in marriages or births.  Though more than 2 children is not common in our community.  [/quote]

Just say your "community" – we know you're not talking about a neighborhood. [/quote]

They’re talking about communities that work hard, value education, and take tough stem majors. Like math, engineering, premed/med.

Other communities see woman taking more “pink” majors like marketing, nursing, education, communication, studies. Those have less high paying career tracks than stem majors or law/med/mba graduate programs. [/quote]

The so-called “pink” majors have less high paying career tracks BECAUSE they are dominated by women.  There is nothing inherently tougher about computer programming than nursing, for example.  If a bunch of men decided to take over nursing schools en masse, watch those salaries skyrocket.[/quote]
Not true. As everything in capitalism it’s about the money. How much money does a degree generate for the corporate world? Nursing vs programming for example [/quote]

Bullshit.  Healthcare in the United States is a for profit system.  Plenty of middle men (and I do mean men) have found ways to generate substantial profit off of the sick and dying.  But the women who actually do the work and provide the care make peanuts.[/quote]

You realize you just confirmed my point? It’s the money generating ones who are paid more. I never said the whole healthcare field wasn’t profitable.
If you look at education, there’s less money to be made in general, so only the top ones get good salaries. [/quote]
