the corporations have sold Americas women into educational debt slavery and suppressed wages by flooding the labor pool with cheaper workers (females) by design and they are NOT the immigrants that R's love to point to.
why do you think 50% of women with degrees leave the workforce at age 30 NEVER TO RETURN. its a scam.
cast off your chains.
