The New College Gap

Women in the United States now make up 56% of the country's college and university population. The gender gap is growing in Canada as well. In the 1970s, men made up 58% of America's college population. Albeit, colleges are trying their hardest to reverse this growing gap by advertising and creating campaigns geared at attracting more men. But, what if we just applied some feminist logic?

In order to create a parity between men and women in college, governments must impose quotas. Once a college has surpassed a 50% female enrolment rate, it must stop accepting women until more men are enrolled. Those women who have been rejected, despite being qualified and having more than what it takes, must either wait or find a college or university somewhere else in the country. Similar to government imposed gender quotas in the workplace, any qualified individuals looking for a job or an education will just have to go fuck themselves. Go wait tables somewhere until there is an opening, you privileged whiners!

Too bad, so sad. Gender gaps are unjust and must be stopped.





The Modelling Gap

Female models earn more than double—sometimes quadruple—what male models earn. In the porn industry, the same is true. Female actors make almost ten times more than their male counterparts, regardless of how well endowed their male counterparts are.

In the modelling industry there isn't really any standard or payment structure to follow, all models are awarded contracts that vary from person to person, but female models out-earn their male counterparts on average by two to four times.





The Hard Labour/Dirty Work Gap

Men make up several of the hard labour and dirty work industries by extremely disproportionate numbers. For instance, the waste management industry is dominated by men at a ratio of 100/1. This means, for every one-hundred men who pick up trash and dispose of it for a living, there is only one female doing the same job. The numbers work out to be 99% male and only 1% female.

Now, let's be honest. Women aren't actively seeking out careers in waste management, despite the pay being extremely high when compared to other dirty jobs. It's not like women can't do the job, they're just choosing not to. The same can be said about most other hard labour jobs, like construction and warehouse work. All of these sectors are almost exclusively dominated by men, not because the employers discriminate, but because women simply don't apply for these jobs.

Most of the trades, like plumbing and electrician work, are exclusively dominated by men. Feminists don't seem to be concerned about these obscene gender gaps, but why not? We only ever hear the media and activists talk about the gender gap in boardrooms and politics—the physically easier jobs. That wage gap we hear about might have something to do with fewer women choosing high-paying, dirty jobs like plumbing and waste disposal. Most garbage men will earn close to $100,000 per year by the time they retire, so why aren't more women flocking to these positions? Perhaps if they chose waste disposal instead of positions in largely female dominated sectors like front-line banking and retail, the wage gap would start to narrow more quickly.

But, who are we (men) to judge? It's not like we earn more than women on average because we're choosing to do the jobs they don't want to! Woe is me.
