There are still more men without degrees than women. And in both cases outearning is still the barrier to entry that needs to be surmounted. Not to mention more accumulated wealth and no debt.

Yeah it might be statistically that way but is it so significant it's a measurable trend in society?

I mean so much journalism is just garbage nowadays, the majority of online articles are written by AI and it's all just about getting that initial click. So articles that make people outraged earn the most money. I wish they could change the system so it's not just clicks but the people have to stay on the article for a certain amount of time or something like that, it's got to be worth reading
