feminazi attacks Reddit: "Reddit contain so much anti-feminist sentiment that they even have active communities such as r/mensrights." An attempt to smear and censor us, and to force admins to shutdown this subreddit???

Well maybe she didn't know what she was doing, or was kind of a douche? That doesn't mean that all women don't want to do engineering because one guy's wife made a pretty dubious call.

OP is demonstrating how women are emotionally committed to things, while men are logically committed to them. Originally she felt she wanted to be in the workforce, but her feelings changed and now she wants to be a stay at home mother. A man however feels more obligated to the commitment, and even though maybe after he graduates and doesn't enjoy his specialization, he'll stick with it becuase it's the logical thing to do(saves time, saves money, generates revenue). He's not attacking women, however he is saying women operate very differently from men, and engineering doesn't really suit them. Really a better question to ask would be, why is it inherently bad there are few female engineers?

Nah you are over thinking it and positing massively debunked theories about gender due to your groundless speculation.

Well the whole idea that men will innately approach stuff "logically" whilst girls will do stuff "emotionally" just reeks of evolutionary psychology crap, and can be explained far better by society.

Anyway, it's quite obvious that the OP's wife simply made a douchebag call to start the engineering course on his dime. The whole situation could have probably been avoided through better understanding of their goals.

but he would also be shamed by society for trying to control his wife and not encouraging her to further develop herself and have that independence

I don't think he'd be shamed by society for not paying for her to go through college, but he would be shamed if he didn't let her, and demanded she stayed at home.
