The radical, pro-abortion feminist group Women's March tweeted out about the disparities and unfairness of student debt.
Now, I am no mathematician, but even I could have spotted the mistake in this tweet and stopped it from being sent out.
See if you can catch the error.
Screenshot in case they delete it:
Yes. Women hold $929 Billion out of $1.7 Trillion in student debt, and we are supposed to believe this is 2/3.
This is just such a tremendous self-own. The folks over at the Women's March are complaining that women are getting MORE student loans than men, because they make up a HIGHER PERCENTAGE of students (so much misogyny and inequality!), and then they end up botching the math on the graphic.
Who's doing the checking on the math over at the Women's March? Because 55% is really nowhere close to 2/3 (66%).
It reminds me of one of the funniest Weekend Update jokes from the late, great Norm MacDonald:
Here is the best summary of the sheer idiocy of this tweet:
Yeah, women owe 55% of the debt yet make up 60% of the student body. So men are FURTHER in debt to student loans than women. It completely undermines the entire argument.
