Coincidence? I think not. More evidence of the blatant attack on women in American society. This is what the GOP/Project 2025 Pushers/Pedo Protectors DO! #StandUpForWomen #VoteBlue #Pinks
Imagine cutting off federal student loans for programs leading to careers overwhelmingly held by women.
Women make up:
• 80% of teaching assistants
• 81-84% of social workers
• 73-80% of counselors
• 79% of elementary/middle-school teachers
• 85% of special-ed teachers
• 92% of hairstylists/cosmetologists
• 93% of childcare workers
Yup, just a coincidence.
