Since 1995, more women than men have graduated with their Bachelor's degree each year. As a political progressive, I love seeing the progress women have made on campus in the past 17 years. However, they have a greater incentive to attend college; there is still a gender wage gap. According to this article in The Atlantic, "a young male with only a high school diploma earns $32,000 a year on average, whereas a young woman only makes about $25,000. That's a difference of $7,000. Seven-thousand dollars. For what? For being born with different sex organs. For not bearing the risk of getting pregnant. There is definitely still progress to made with gender inequality, but for now I just want to say, "Good work, ladies."
