Full tuition in a master's program at Harvard is $52,456 per year. And most people don't pay full tuition. Oh, and you do know that master's programs are typically just 2 years, right?
Like I said, uneducated white people think it costs $250K to get a masters degree in gender studies.
I have a master's degree. I know how long they take. But, because I'm not a "highly educated" liberal I also realize you need an undergraduate degree before you can get into a master's program.
Actually, you don't need an undergraduate degree to get a master's. It might help you get in, but it's often not a hard requirement. I don't think it would ever be a hard requirement for gender studies.
And obviously you were not including the cost of the undergraduate degree when you made your stupid remark. Otherwise, by your logic, you would need to include all your costs to grow into adulthood.
You said it costs $250K for the master's degree in gender studies. And now you try to tell us that you need an undergraduate degree to get into a master's program.
Are you done, or do you want to keep digging the hold even deeper?
You cannot start a graduate program unless you have an undergraduate degree.
Are you stupid or just lying about your 900 degrees?
Yeah, and someone has to spend six figures (or so) to get you from birth to age 17/18, when you start undergraduate school--yet we never include that outlay in the cost of the bachelor's degree, do we? That's not what we mean, when we talk about how much it costs to get a four-year degree.
You made a statement about what a master's degree costs. Period. People pointed out your blatant falsehood, so you moved the goalposts: "Oh, I was including the cost of the bachelor's!" How terribly lame.
For the record, I only have four degrees, not 900. But even before I started any of them, I was educated enough to be able to multiply and divide.
Increasing the supply of oil lowers the price of a barrel of oil.
Gas is $6 a gallon.
Increasing supply will help even if he export the entire increase.
It would also be helpful of the federal government wasn't so openly hostile to the oil industry that no one is willing to risk money building or expanding a fuel refinery.
Are you stooopid? Stop exporting and importing oil. The U.S. could controls its own oil prices, like Venezuela does. The losers are the commodity brokers; break their backs and prices will drop.
There is NO NEED to build or expand U.S. oil production. All the added production under Trump was exported out of the U.S.
US oil consumption exceeds US oil production (19-20 mil vs. 13 mil pre-COVID). So, yes, we do need to import oil, and lowering the global cost of oil does benefit the US... and this is before factoring in whether it's cheaper to import oil vs. produce oil in certain cases.

It is highly unusual to get accepted into a master's program without an undergraduate degree.
"Post-graduate" degrees sort of imply that they come AFTER you graduate from your undergraduate degree.
The fact that is isn't a "hard requirement" for a gender studies degree is just evidence that it isn't a serious degree in the first place. It's just a way for schools to profit off of stupid people.

Arguing with a liberal is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how well you play the pigeon will always just crap all over the board, knock all the pieces down, and strut around like it won the game no matter what.
Oh, all of the very accurate stereotypes and rules-of-thumb you're so good at reminding us about.
Like, "Show me a guy who pretty much EVER talks about seeing the world in terms of "alphas" and "betas" and I'll show you a hugely insecure as*****."
But it also makes total sense. Mature, fairly intelligent, well-educated men DON'T think that way. And Donny easily snows all of them who DO. Like you.

If you want to play that stupid game we'll have to take into account the cost of raising every member of the family tree and their educations all the way back until the first slug crawled out of the muck...
Unless you're Fat Hurts it is common sense that you can't get a post graduate degree without an undergraduate degree. I didn't move any goal posts you just assumed they were someplace I didn't put them.

Dude, you were the one spewing crap like, "It costs $250K for a master's degree in gender studies."
You could have admitted you were wrong. Or you could have even just said it was hyperbole.
But you chose the third route. The one where you insist that your crap isn't crap.

I said:
"Spending $250k to get a masters degree in gender studies does not make someone intelligent."
It was absolutely hyperbole. But then I looked at the actual numbers and found out that $250k would be a bargain at U of M.
As always you can't see the forest for the trees.
Spending money on a piece of paper doesn't make you intelligent whether the piece of paper $2.50 or $250,000.
This is especially true when the piece of paper is for something as useless as gender studies.

Two masked individuals smashed a window and threw a lit flare into Washington State House Rep. Andrew Barkis' office building in Olympia, Washington on Monday.
Put them on a debate stage and Trump will get nasty and petty and DeSantis will come out smelling like a rose.
If DeSantis runs the nomination is his. The only question is if he will run or not.
Straw poll means next to nothing. Actual polls show that DJT is dominating. I think it will get closer but Donald is a phenomenal politician. Hilary is also smarter than Trump. Trump is smarter than aged Biden. Smart doesn’t mean anything. DeSantis has to be likable. I’ve never actually seen him speak which probably isn’t a good thing for him politically speaking. I think he’ll use his big Harvard brain to realize he won’t beat Trump and save his run for later.
What polls are you referring to when you say that?
Here's the first result I found when searching on the internet:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has championed controversial stances that have catapulted him into GOP stardom. From Covid-19 vaccines to critical race theory to the law critics have dubbed "Don't Say Gay," DeSantis has annoyed Dem...
DeSantis in the lead with 38%, Trump with 32% (Haley with 7%; Pence, Cruz, Paul all under 3%).
It seems to me like MOST polls are showing DeSantis ahead of Trump whether it's straw polls, favorability ratings, or other kinds of polls and surveys.
How much did you spend on these 4 degrees and how many of them do you actually need or use?
I was fortunate not to have had to pay tuition and fees for any of them, but I did have some living expenses that weren't covered by stipends. So if you literally mean what I spent on the degrees themselves, I spent nothing; if you mean what outlay, beyond stipends, I made for living expenses during my twelve years of university education, a (very) rough guess would put it in the $10-15k range.
Surprisingly, even to me, I use all four of my degrees. I have two careers: As an attorney I use the linguistics, business, and law degrees; as a coach I use all of those some, and the phys ed/coaching degree a lot.
If you go to an ivy league school a masters degree will run you closer to $500k.
The average in-state student going to a public 4-year college in the U.S. spends approximately $25,864 per year. . . .
The average masters program runs around $35,000.
$135k is still pretty pricey for a useless degree.
Uneducated white people think it typically takes four years to get a master's degree. Or maybe seven, if spending the average ~$35k/yr gets you to a total of "$250K."
Each of my master's degrees took two years or less. And I was working during each.
Innumerate much? Or just uneducated?
I think most people assume when they say "masters degree", they include the time it takes to get their bachelor's degree prior to getting their masters degree.
While it can vary depending on how many credits you take per term, and whether you take classes over the summer, in general it takes 5-6 years to get a masters degree if you don't have any previous college credits. If you assume 6 years, and ~40k per year (reasonable for an out-of-state cost), that would be $240k.
Stating that it takes only 2 years to get a masters degree without noting that you already took classes for years to get a bachelor's degree is a bit misleading...
This professor works for the Moore Center for Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse.
It studies sexual abuse and how to prevent it.
And the best way to prevent abuse to remove the stigma recategorize it as acceptable?
Great plan Mr. Pedo.
Oh sorry... Mr. Minor Attracted Person.
These are terms used in academic research helping to prevent sexual abuse. Minor-attracted person is adults who are attracted to people under 18 or 21 years of age. This person is at medium-risk of offending.
Pedophile is someone exclusively attracted to pre-pubescent children and has engaged in sexual activity with them. This person is at high-risk of offending.
If it's your job to study this, you need different terms to differentiate between different types of abuser.
It's been picked up by the far-right and they're pushing back against sexual education that would prevent sexual abuse, and pushing back against research centers that study how to stop it. I wonder why.
Just google GOP 2024 Primary Polls and you'll see a bunch. Trump dominates every single one that he's in. Sometimes they poll without him just to see and DeSantis wins.
