The study’s other main finding is that a woman generally needs more degrees than a man in order to earn the same amount of money. For example, the average woman must obtain a Ph.D in order to keep pace with the average bachelor’s degree-holding man.
“The women’s story is grand and dismal,” concluded Carnevale. After scanning all 171 majors included in the study, he found not one major where women consistently out-earn men.
The report also found similar gaps by ethnicity and race. For instance, African Americans and Latinos earn less money than their white peers — even those whites with less education. Further, the average African American or Latino with a master’s degree doesn’t exceed the lifetime earnings of white bachelor’s degree holder. Finally, the report concluded that Asian Americans with graduate degrees earn more than all other races, including whites.
Based on the UK, but interested in feminism globally.

Anonymous asked: I feel really, really angry at the moment, but also kind of resigned to the fact that my friends just won't accept the privilege that they hold, and won't acknowledge the achievements of feminists. They insist on insulting feminism all the time, and they don't realise that their own lives as they live them are only possible due to feminism. I've been arguing with them all the time, and I just want to either cry or smash something (preferably patriarchy). The main problem is 'Decembrow' which they oppose basically because feminists support it and because "it's weird for women to have monobrows". I've been saying that not everyone wants to be defined by how they look, and that it's making an insensitive generalisation to class everyone as just male or just female, and yeah, this isn't a question, it's just me searching for someone to agree with me.
i feel you, homes.
