Mal ,'Safe'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
flea, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to stop supporting FACTS with DATA! Heh.
I did know that Masters degrees were on par these-a-days (but was too lazy to qualify a PERFECTLY GOOD RANT), but for some reason wasn't tuned into the Ph.D.s being so. It might be because I'm at a school that has heavy male-dominated fields and so there's a lot of work to overcome that shizz.
More boys are born but more girls survive? Or something like that?
I think that's it. We men folk die more.
I'm a librarian! I find statistics for students who want to bolster their arguments with data every day! I can't help it!
heh heh heh "want to" heh
God, Flea, harsh my mellow about the MAN bringing me DOWN...
Of course, even in my chemistry major ten years ago, the ratio was about on par, simply because so many of the people in the major (men and women) were premed, rather than in it for the chemistry (which meant, more women, rather than manly men CHEMICALS CHEMISTRY RAWR!!). Of course, the professors were almost uniformly male.
More boys are born but more girls survive? Or something like that?
Actually, more women are being killed earlier in life, through abortions, malnutrition, selling them as slaves (which shorten their lives, since slavery changed since the 18th century and they're "disposable" [link] ), or simply by giving their children the best that they can give, and hence neglecting themselves.
By raw demographic data, there are several millions of missing women in the world today. There such a thing as gendercide, and it's being silenced.
(My demography classes, they kick ass).
I think they were speaking US only, Shir. But, fair point.
flea - what's your undergrad in?
Signed, having a total career crisis. Again.
Aims, Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology. Kid you not.
Ok, that is awesome.
I am wondering if I should stop with the teaching degree and just get the BA in English and then head to grad school.
But my friend Kristy keep telling me how much she wishes she had her teaching degree so that she could do more and how she's gonna make me get mine.
