I don't know much about the Susan G Komen foundation in particular other than that's what people seem to say about it but "raising awareness" is actually a pretty good tool to fight breast cancer. Universal screening for breast cancer early is ultimately cheaper than allowing the cancer to develop and only treating advanced cases, and if society didn't hammer it in then fewer people would participate. Same thing with pap smears, colonoscopies, etc.

That's not true at all, we've long past "awareness" and gone into paranoia about breast cancer. Newer recommendations push screening out later, and dispose with manual checks entirely: http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/20/health/new-acs-breast-cancer-screening-guidelines/

I feel fine doubling down on the notion that, if you can't handle a $500 expense, it's probably because you don't make enough money instead of a lack of self-flagellation on the altar of John C. Bogle (if you'll notice, the post that started this tangent was regarding Morgan Stanley, who I'm pretty sure is going to "educate" you into assuming as much debt as possible instead of how to balance a checkbook)

sure, maybe if you presuppose that people aren't utterly brainwashed by capitalism and pitted against a predatory financial industry trying to claw every dollar (especially future-earned dollars) out of their hands

the majority of americans can't cover a unexpected $500 expense, but you can bet they'll buy that new car or put a vacation on a CC balance. poor people, middle class people, and rich people are all equally stupid. there are people living in $500k houses that can't cover a $500 expense, this isn't a living wage thing.

Luckily Morgan Stanley doesn't give a flying gently caress whether you put that vacation on credit or up your rear end, all they want is the fees on your retirement fund. I read the article and all I saw was "save more" aka "give us more money to charge a fee on", not "be less materialistic" or "here's a cheap way to fix your fridge" - and anybody that can't read between the lines on why Morgan Stanley doesn't talk about that latter part of financial education (being frugal) is a maroon

the cool thing ive noticed about women in stem is that the acronym also works as a line graph of how many women there are in the field

s - lots of women chemists, biologists etc
t - a pretty good amount of female programmers these days
e - engineering classes are still like sub 10% female
m - there might be a female math major somewhere

So why are mathematics programs so much more sexist than biology programs?
