[quote=Anonymous][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]

I did not confirm your point, you simply don’t understand what I am saying.  The profits are there (although they shouldn’t be), but the money is not being distributed equally or based on actual value added.  By that I mean, no one goes to a hospital to be fleeced by a f—king insurance executive, they go to receive medical care frequently and overwhelmingly provided by nurses.  Remove one of those elements and the system collapses (and it’s not the sociopathic worthless insurance bros with their hands in patients’ pockets.)[/quote]
