[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The advantage was there but not so much now  at many competitive schools.[/quote]

Most competitive schools would really like to see gender parity in cs and engineering. So girls do have an advantage since even today there are still far more boys interested in those two majors.   [/quote]

I find it somewhat depressing that 60% of college students are female, most of the majors are majority female and all everyone talks about is how terrible it is that more males go into CS and Engineering and how we should “fix” it.  [/quote]

No one stopped males from going to college. I don't know why more females going to college is depressing. [/quote]

It is depressing as the dating pool is getting smaller and smaller for these females that are str8 or bi with intention of hetero marriage,  in our suburbs as im sure in yours being an Ivy educated mom turned part time pilates instructor married to a guy making over 500K is still the ultimate success story-lets be for real.

so our daughters chances of this are smaller and smaller--they will most likely marry guys at or below their own salary potential, some even talk of women marrying migrant workers as that ratio is 90/10 men....as this is a stem post lets do talk about the math[/quote]

Perhaps the upside is that the Ivy-educated guy of today is not interested in their similarly educated Ivy wife throwing away all of that to become a part-time pilates instructor.

I mean, is that what you aspire for your daughters?[/quote]

I aspire for them mental and physical well being. I don't want them having to prove themselves to people like you that the only way to happiness is having and being it all. AT a certain point we all have to choose our priorities, because if we make everything our priority-perfect husband, perfect career and perfect kids we will suffer.

How about you?[/quote]

So then skip the Ivy degree and become a FT pilates instructor..give your kid the money to invest.

Maybe my Ivy son will be OK with this scenario, but I doubt it.  You are conjuring up an image of people that graduated in the 1980s and 1990s that I think it is getting consigned to the dustbin.[/quote]

You should explain to your son women have it MUCH harder and have to prioritize due to reality not choice, he needs to understand this as hopefully that will help him be more empathic and a better future husband, otherwise he will be one of these husbands women complain on in the rel forum. [/quote]

Sorry...he needs to accept his wife will become a PT pilates instructor?  This is a specific example that sounds fairly demeaning and pathetic to Ivy women.

There have to be better examples than this.

BTW, I assume spouses complain about a thousand grievances on the REI forum, so not sure there is anything anyone can do to be spared from the grievances.[/quote]

I hope he hears other people better than mom (or dad), though I am assuming this is mom[/quote]
