Anyone notice what these “non-professional” degrees have in common?

Nursing
Physician assistants
Physical therapists
Audiologists
Architects
Accountants
Educators
Social workers

Here’s a hint, look at the two least obvious ones:

43% of new architects are women:

And 60% of all accountants:

This is clearly a plan to minimize career paths for women.

Edit What the heck, lets check the rest of them…

92% of audiologists are women:

88.8% of nurses:

    Nursing is a no, but theology is a yes.

    They’re rolling back women’s lib, one step at a time. We had 50 years. We weren’t even there yet and they’re taking it away from us.

        Men who can’t handle their own feelings or learn to define themselves as individuals separate from a woman. And don’t have the wherewithal to enroll in therapy to figure it out.

        That is MAGA. A reaction to women’s lib.

        I have nothing against soul searching for personal betterment. That’s cool. It’s bizarre that it’s considered “professional” when an accountant, nurse practitioner, and social worker are not.

          I think that a person who has decided to major in Theology has already passed the point where they’re soul searching for the most part. They’ve already decided to dedicate a lot of time to studying the thing they’ve already decided is the answer.
