>>Ugh - "We need to..." - whenever I see that phrase I think "fascist". It's a lazy phrase used by people who want to tell other people what to do, without appearing to do so.
"We need to watch out" seems to carry a lot of weight in Canada.
>>That said, the rest of your post is about fiscal, not sexual, inequality. For the better part of 100 years some women have been attending college to get their MRS.
IMHO the scenarios I posted are quite different from going to Uni to find a husband if you're saying that's a reason why some females (but not males) seek higher education. The examples I gave were from a community that expects competent women to become judges, politicians and surgeons. So these ideas were a serious discord IMHO.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
