If I wanted a book on feelings and the spooks of 'duh eebil guvament' I'd read Mises, at least he builds a decent strawman

>this is not a review, it is an article on how a man and other men ruined a woman's enjoyment of literature

It's always about their feelings and their "experiences." These people could write a whole library of books about themselves, it's their favourite subject. I think that on a basic level, literature requires too much empathy on the part of the reader for these sort of women to be able to enjoy it.

For some people "just living their lifes" means caring about the larger context. It's also entirely possible to make "honest money" outside of STEM. To be honest, depending on where you live, some STEM degrees are utterly worthless. My cousin drives a garbage truck because the economy tanked and nobody wants chemical engineers anymore. They're just not hiring new engineers, period. If he goes long enough without work, they won't even want him when the economy recovers.

Most people with a B.Sc. can make more money in construction than in their actual field.

I suggest you gain a deeper understand of how evolution and natural selection works. You should then realize that there is no such thing as equality. Hence, there will always be societal imbalances, and the fact that there are correlations between different phenotypes within a species is to be expected.

>Brilliant.
At least I provided some hard data, all you have provided is empty rhetoric.
