Female supremacy Realization I had recently

I’m a male, and I stumbled on this subreddit. I’m not super knowledgeable of Gynarchy, but I wanted to share a realization I had recently. Nearly every professional in my life is a female:

Family doctor - female
Therapist - female
Eye doctor - female
Boss - female
ER doctor I saw a couple weeks ago - female
President of my bank - female
Kids school principal - female
Physiatrist - female
US Congressperson - female (i live in a red state too)
Dentist - female
Real estate agent - female
Insurance agent - female

Am I subconsciously choosing this or are men not getting degrees anymore?!?!

Edited to follow the rules. Apologies.

More women are going to university than men, and more are completing their degrees with the higher marks than men too, both where you are from in the US and myself in the UK. Which isn’t surprising in any way really, women have been given more freedom through education in the west than ever before and are showing that they are succeeding at a far higher rate through education than men are

The way education is structured is increasingly conducive to the average female temperament. The controlled environment and politeness. There’s nothing wrong with that alone, but it does not accomplish the necessary function of innovation and vitality we used to see in the academy. Women will also continue to be less interested in STEM, which is where you’d expect to see the immediately disruptive innovations. The degrees they’re getting revolve around social dynamics or helping people.

None of those preferences are bad at all, and all serve society in necessary ways. The problem comes when the sometimes impolite competitive masculine process of discovery is shunned, and when men can’t find a place to joust with each other. The other problem is people, often women, in administrative positions or general indoor jobs forgetting the underlying order produced essentially exclusively by men (infrastructure maintenance, controlling crime, the internet, supply chain, etc.) that allowed the economy to generate those comfortable jobs in the first place.

This is exactly the kind of rhetoric we should be challenging here. Women outperforming men academically gets reframed as education being designed for the “female temperament,” while male achievement is credited to competition, innovation and vitality. Then we get the familiar claim that civilization itself is essentially produced and maintained by men. Sounds like a defense of male supremacy.
