I’d worry about this country if women were limited on the education they could have.
 
I assume you got this from Fix the Family “Catholic” propaganda. I won’t link to the site here.

They don’t speak for the Church, nor the Catholic faith, they are a tiny fringe, they’re not connected to mainstream Catholicism, and based on what I read about them I have very good reason to believe they’re not Catholic at all.

Best to ignore. Also best to not discuss their propaganda like it represents us or the Catholic faith. It doesn’t.

Respectfully fact, truth and not to offend…but questioning and examining…this question …Should women be treated as equals?.
Meet the woman who really took man to the Moon… Katherine Johnson NASA mathematician who computed the path from here to the moon…woman computers before computers?

Years of being unknown …now finally recognized… made into a movie truth…

Would man have gotten to the moon without theses woman like Katherine Johnson given the Pres medal of Freedom?
Asking respectfully…man got to enjoy the ride, but woman put man on the path from here to there on the moon did they not?

Interesting also when computers were developed…for use in Nasa was it not a woman who taught men how to start and operate them? All in the film…movie is it not?

Yes woman should be treated as equal…without woman there would be no human civilization as we know it, would there? Woman …Mothers are our are very first teachers…are they not?

In ancient times woman ruled mighty empires successfully is this not historically recorded also? Peace.💓🙂

This guy was probably a Christian Reconstructionist. Women in that denomination are discouraged from attending University and encouraged to be wives and mothers as early as possible.

The Catholic Church does not believe that education is sinful for women. If it did, it would not have built universities for women around the world.
 
That’s probably in my case.

I don’t think so. People say I have an intimidating personality coupled with a death stare. So it’s probably not my degree but my personality.
 
It’s always best for a husband to do as they are told, whether their wife is more educated or not.

Insofar as Chinese men are concerned, this attitude can also be found somewhat in the Orthodox Jewish community. While most Orthodox Jews value a woman with higher education, there are certain sects which do not and believe a woman’s place is in the home raising the children, keeping a kosher home, preparing for the holidays, and having more children. This attitude toward women is not supported in Jewish law but it exists nonetheless among some.

Catholicism does not discourage higher education for women and in fact runs women’s universities around the world.

However there are Catholics who believe women should be kept not only from higher education but from all education and should be kept barefoot, ignorant and pregnant.

Respectfully 🤔…are there negatives in a woman earning a degree, not according to the long long historical documents on the women who changed the world through their discoveries, inventions since the beginning of time and all throughout history to this very day right?..

Question respectfully… not to offend, but could man or any Nation on earth even continue to exist and prosper without Women? 🤔

For it was also through a Blessed Woman… that our salvation comes through was it not?

Is there not a list of great world discoveries and inventions historically recorded, by woman who changed the world, right?.

In Math, Medicine, Physics, Robots, Pharmaceuticals, Astronomy and Astrophysics, Chemistry, Science, Solar Energy, Household, Cosmetics, cures and treatments of diseases, Pediatrics, Wireless transmission, Biology, Psychology, …discoveries and inventions by women?

18 Inventions by woman that changed the world…
40 Black woman that changed the world…search and women who got man on the path to here and there to the moon right?

Answer to the question topic…Yes …woman should be highly recognized, given great honor to and be treated as equals, right?

Woman greatly contribute in providing what is needed to bring about greatest wealth, prosperity and health to every Nation on the face of the earth do they not? …a child…💓.

Without Women…
There be no Drs, Scientist, Lawyers, Mathematicians, Engineers, Labors, Inventors, Teachers, Priests, Bishops, Pope, Kings, Queens, Prophets, our Historical Hero’s history books are written about, Authors, Soldiers, Journalist, Professors, Farmers, Explorers, Artist, Poets, Musicians, Caregivers, Bakers, Volunteers, Nurses, Pilots, Baseball players, Sports, Pres. world leaders, long list…etc etc …right?

There be no Human civilization as we know it without woman right?

Opinion only…
Man is weaken without the woman…
And woman is weakened without the man, right? .
When the 2 unite as one…a great energy source takes place and is needed to create… a…child…🤭🤭

As written…Make wisdom your friend…🤭
As written…A house divided cannot stand…🤔
As commanded…Honor thy Father and Mother…💓

Without Women there could be no Nation building right? 🤔
Peace 💓

Getting a degree is only helpful if you can do something with it. In this day in age, for a lot of people, it’s necessary to have two incomes to support a family. St. Therese’s mother, St. Zelie was a hardworking woman and even owned her own lace business. I don’t think that made her a lesser mother. It really just comes down to how best the children can be supported.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a woman getting a degree, especially for one who doesn’t have a family.

There are pros and cons to anyone earning a degree.

My question to you, @Bradskii, is why you even think it’s worth asking this question, even for the purpose of demolishing the assertions of some misguided and ill-informed misogynist trolls who pop up from time to time on this site.
 
Wow. I"m not going to wade into this or I’ll get suspended again.
Other than to say, my grandparents were adamantly opposed to my mother going to college. She never did, and it was a tragic waste of intelligence and potential.
 
‘Someone’ ? well maybe it is best to consider which 'someone’s you listen to and why. Personally I dont think equality is a good thing, we aren’t the same (assuming you mean men and woman, as you dont say) so I would also say caught out of context my words could be called speaking against it… but only cos I’m saying why try to make a triangle and circle the same? why not celebrate the beauty of each shape and not force them into the same mould. A woman has her own beauty and her own genius as does a man. We can do different things perfectly, just as God made us. I who am no expert, happen to think we can both get an university degree, but whether we want to or should depends on the individual person and their situation.
 
I’m not gonna jump in to the main discussion because I don’t wanna be castigated, but I will point out that that people saying men and women have different roles is not the same as saying one is superior and the other inferior. Education is not superior to lack of said, depending on vocation and state in life.
 
Men and women are not the same but they are both equally human.

Men and women are two complementary halves of humanity.

One sex does not have more worth than the other.

I think this is what people mean by equality. Equal worth but not identical.

Unfortunately, that school of though is gaining a lot of ground in the UK at the moment. There is an increasingly prevalent belief that education is useless unless it serves an immediate utilitarian purpose. That is why funding is being withdrawn from undergraduate courses in arts, humanities, and social sciences and redirected towards STEM subjects. We are becoming a country in which expertise in fields such as languages, literature, history, and philosophy are regarded as a luxury for the rich with no value to the society or to the individual.

So, returning to your point, it depends what you mean by “do something with it”. Is a degree in history, for example, only “helpful” if you want to become a history teacher? If that were to be the case, one would have to wonder about the purpose of history in education, since its only immediately obvious benefit would appear to be the production of another generation of history teachers. I suppose you could somewhat broaden out the benefits of an education in history to include museum curators, tour guides, people who make history documentaries for TV, and authors of historical novels. But I would argue that a history degree (or a degree in philosophy or English) has much broader benefits both for the individual student and for society as a whole. As well as lawyers, doctors, engineers, and architects, we also need people who preserve and contribute to our culture, memory, and identity and who possess the skills of critical inquiry necessary to sustain thing like good governance and a free press.

As an American, I agree with you.

University is now being viewed as a glorified trade school.

Such a pity.

Someone could have a hobby centered around and there are many resources on history that are probably less expensive than a degree.
