[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I care when women go to college and don't use their degrees.  They got into a school and took away from a student who may have really wanted to go there.  [/quote]

Ok troll, you're taking up electricity with your misogynist posts that someone else could be using right now. [/quote]

:lol: 
So true.  The ignorance is astounding.

I’m a new poster and I totally agree with pp. The number of women that I know with fancy law degrees that they don’t use - and never really planned to use - is just gross. There are many people - most of them from lower socioeconomic backgrounds than these women - who could’ve made something professionally of themselves with these degrees. One example is a mother to elementary school age kids that literally makes puffy paint decor for camp bunks. That she sells online. Good thing your parents spent 200 K on law school![/quote]

What an idiotic premise.  Do you actually think someone got shafted from law school because another woman (or man???) "took their place"?  Give us all a break.  How many people with law degrees ultimately do something totally different professionally?  Or any degree, for that matter?  I know the field I went into had nothing to do with my actual degree.  And now I SAH - but guess what?  Life is long and at some point, I'll be using my college degree and/or prior experience to return to work.  Amazing, right?  And your friend who makes "puffy paint décor"??  What a weird anecdote to trot out.  As if this one woman exemplifies all others who take time off from work to SAH.  Please, grow up and get a clue.[/quote]

I work with underprivileged girls. If you don’t see how going to a fancy school that could be life-changing for them and then staying home is incredibly selfish and reeks of privilege, then I can’t help you. But might as well step on them on your way up, right?[/quote]

It was life changing for me.  I practiced for a long time. Now I stay home. The school I attended gave me a full ride and I had the highest LSAT score in my 300 person class. I don’t feel selfish at all for staying home. Totally ridiculous. [/quote]
I'm glad you consider your children to be your priority. I wish more parents would.[/quote]

Yes. All women should stay home. Only fathers should have rewarding careers.  [/quote]

Don’t forget completely being blind to the hypocrisy of devoting their lives to enriching their daughters’ with activities, top
schools etc - yet those same daughters would be terrible mothers if they didn’t stay home once they had their own kids. Hmmm.[/quote]

Ehh. I stay home for me. It is easier. Life was too difficult once I had more than one kid. So I stopped working. I hope my kids have options. I have no desire for them to have as hard of a life as possible. Life is too short. Do what you want. It is a great privilege. [/quote]
