"Since males had dominated these professions for centuries, you would think they would leave slowly, hesitantly or maybe linger at 40%, 35%, 30%, but that’s not what happens.

"Since males had dominated these professions for centuries, you would think they would leave slowly, hesitantly or maybe linger at 40%, 35%, 30%, but that’s not what happens. Once the tipping point reaches majority female- the men flee. And boy do they flee!"

lol I spent my entire undergrad years as the ONLY male in a classroom of ~30 female students more often than not with female tutors; my degree was Literature and we spent years studying and *discussing* philosophy, semiotics, modernism, post-modernism, hermeneutics, critical theory, and there was a huge focus on feminist critical theory! It was awesome!
I guess I am 'girlie and gay'
Men who run away from this are basically spineless cowards!?

@kel @undefined_variable When I went to university in the late 90s 3 girls were on my course.
By degree year it was two of us. For my honours year it was just me.
I find it interesting the mindset of someone who's that scared of girl cooties they don't want to educate themselves.
But perhaps it's also a push against the idea of a college education. Fostered by some right wing elements.
In the UK there was lots of noise about "useless degrees" when many working class kids got a degree.

@kel @undefined_variable Going into higher education can make a huge difference and changes up class.
Working Class Gen X parents (boomers and before) worked to ensure their kids got degrees. They worked the menial back breaking jobs.
So I see it as a betrayal of the next generations who may not get that opportunity, that chance. The ladder got pulled up behind us
So when we're seeing the media talk about this, we need to consider who doesn't want their electorate to educate themselves?
