Sure, they're now the majority of college grads, but when you look at their majors, it's all mickey mouse degrees (sociology, psychology, etc). Are women really on the rise or is it just a ''trendy'' period?

not sure but the rise of stupid threads seems real
MIckey mouse degree problem is real though.
Women aren't people in the traditional sense of the word.
That was really funny. Does anyone read The Rational Male?
One of the most annoying things is the overwhelming amount of women who literally have no logic. They just run on "feelings" most of the time...
What is also true is that most men fail to employ logic as well. Let's not kid ourselves here, both men and women are both people and people are fucking stupid.
Watch some guy get bumped into at a bar and watch the astounding logic take place. 'That dude bumped me. I'm going to kill that fucking guy.' Nevermind the fact it was an accident because it's a crowded bar and that the bumpee is 5'8 and 160 lbs and the bumper is 6'1" and 220. Guy gets his ass kicked for an accidental bump and a perceived slight to his ego.
Stupid fucking emotional men.
There's a good book on the subject (on humans being emotional animals at their core): http://www.amazon.com/Righteous-Mind-Divided-Politics-Religion/dp/03074…
Yep, I definitely agee with people are fucking stupid. I guess I am more of a pessimist in life.
Look at this bullshit headline: "Shhhh, Rand Paul: A Guide for Politicians on How Not to Talk to Women" http://time.com/3693776/shhhh-rand-paul-a-guide-for-politicians-on-how-…
It's self selection. If you choose to major in "gender studies" or some other bullshit major you've made your nest.
I'm not sure if it's real to a larger degree.
I've seen women work very hard and have insane careers but those are a very small minority if you keep the amount of female grads in mind. I think per graduate you still have a higher number of high-fliers among men.
The reason is and always will be that men are encouraged by society to have a high-earning career, for reasons including higher chances on the dating market (cf. every second WSO discussion). Culturally it's just more acceptable for girls to study subjects with very limited earning power - I think the underlying argument within their environment among parents and teachers is still sometimes "just marry a rich guy" or "money doesn't really matter (although we are glad we inherited that factory from grandpa)". I don't think there is, from the outset, much of a difference in analytical aptitude or drive between the genders though. Just culture driving this.
