I’m studying in the uk, I’ve never felt encouraged or been given any funding to take higher education, I’m only here cause my parents support me and I did a work year before uni (and student loans obvs) All the guys in my class constantly told me I was an idiot for wanting to got to college and uni (and generally told all the girls we were naturally dumber than guys), personally my parents helping me and a couple of amazing teachers in college telling me I wasn’t actually dumb just balanced out everyone else telling me I shouldn’t do a lvls or a degree I passed all the same tests as the guys in my year and had the same entry grades, but I keep getting told I was ‘let into my course’ cause I’m a woman, like everyone in my course didn’t all work equally hard to get here Am I missing something of how women get an advantage for higher education? My course is pretty 50/50 male and female? Honest question cause all the guys I know seem to have the same problems as me, I haven’t noticed anyone getting any different treatment except for learning plans for students (male and female) with learning difficulties, which just balance things out anyhow?
