I feel bad for women that actually try to be responsible and make a career based off of their interests. Social engineering has made every field full of toxic women who have no interest in their career and frankly would have taken any degree that gave them handouts. The amount of women I’ve seen take scholarships in tech/ engineering just to knock out prerequisites and change degrees before any in field classes begin is hilarious. As a healthcare graduate and postgrad applicant it is equally insane how you can be the only male in a classroom but everyone assume that women are disadvantaged in college.
Being at the top of a field requires years of dedication, often to the detriment of other aspects of your life (family, friends, health, etc). Feminism told women that they could have it all - a family and a great career.
It's just not true. We need to stop pretending it's true. We are letting boys and girls fail up the ladder from a young age and then they get to a point where they can't fail upwards they demand the standards be lowered.
I got a degree in math, about half my graduating class was female (about 50 out of 100), and I knew 2 who were passionate about math. Neither went into teaching (well one might be a professor now, she was sharp), but both would have been good at it. The others? Who knows.
Physics department at least mostly had people who really were passionate about the field, but out of 30-40 students, I think only 4 were female. Mostly white, too, at a school that didn't skew that way -- my theory on that is no Asian parent is telling their kid to do physics, as it is as much work as engineering with like half the pay potential.

You should have to pay back the scholarship if you don't get a degree in the field it's awarded for.
That’s sexist
The reality of the situation is this:
