Today, I had to endure my father going on a sexist rant about how women shouldn't be allowed to go to university because it's "unrealistic" since "all women" become stay-at-home mums. This is the same man who threatened to kick me out if I dropped out of uni. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I finally had it out with my abusive father. I spent almost an hour detailing about how he constantly humiliates me in public, treats me like slime, and hits me at random when he's in a bad mood. His response was, "Quit being such a wimp" because I'm "not female." Mom took his side. I'm 16 and can't move out. FML
Today, my father lectured me for dating a man with "no future", even though he's entering a PhD program next year at a top university. Meanwhile, my dad's last relationship was with a 20-year-old hooker who ended up stealing his credit cards. FML
Today, I confronted my dad about his horrible attitude toward women. I pointed out that a man with as many sisters and daughters as he has, shouldn’t refer to women who’ve had children as “damaged goods”. He laughed and said, “Ah well, once it’s been blown out, it’s no good to anyone.” Thanks dad. FML
Today, I got an offer to study at a good university. My father has been pushing me to apply for years, so I ecstatically broke the news. Instead of congratulating me, he just grunted and delivered the more important news that he's divorcing my mum. Moment ruined. FML
Today, my dad sat me and my sister down and give us a "talk". More like an angry irrational rant. He forbade us from being gay, marrying a Muslim or a black person, demanded kids from both of us, and threatened to disown us if we didn't. Where's my free will? FML
Today, I got into an argument with my mom over her sexist, emotionally-abusive boyfriend. I told her that either he goes or I go. She called me a disrespectful bastard for not respecting my "new father." I'm now sitting outside a McDonald's with my suitcase, leeching their WiFi. FML
Today, I was accepted to college and received a scholarship equal to almost half the tuition. After sharing this news with my parents, I spent the next 35 minutes getting yelled at about how I wasn't allowed to go there because my boyfriend might go there. FML
Today, my father once again sat me and my boyfriend of a year down to have another "talk." These "talks" are always something negative against our relationship, and how it’s not up to his standards. We’ve explained numerous times why he’s wrong. My father is about to make me single. FML
Today, my dad and I got into an argument, and he ended up calling me a son of a bitch. My mom heard and started arguing with him over him calling her a bitch. Three hours later, I'm now staying at my gran's house with my mom and hoping her threats of a divorce weren't for real. FML
Today, my dad refused to sign a student finance form to allow me to study my dream subject at university because he doesn't want the government knowing his business. FML

"All" women become stay at home mums? What bass-ackwards world does he live in?

As if being a stay-at-home mom is something wrong. At least you can prove him how wrong he is.

He is supporting her to get a higher education. Just every other girl needs to be barefoot and pregnant.

I'm currently a freshman in college and if my dad said this, I would go ape shit on his ass. There would be no holding back for me.

I think your father needs to make up his mind about where he stands .

I think the problem we have in society nowadays is not women going to university, but morons going. The amount of pointless and almost totally useless subjects any old idiot can get a degree in nowadays is ridiculous, and the people that take them are the people who are definitely not going to be earning enough to pay back their student loan.

This was my post yesterday and I just wanted to reply to give a bit of context - I am doing a med degree, not just bludging off the Australian education system to avoid working or be a professional student. Definitely not a moron at all, I worked ridiculously hard to get into and stay in the degree I am doing, and a lot of young women like me can say the same for themselves. I'm glad this fml is getting the exposure I feel like it deserves - it addresses a few issues.

#22 so if you wrote this post, why isn't your post blue

#22, you aren't fooling anyone pretending to be the OP. If you were really the OP, your post would be blue and it would say that you were.

Doesn't matter what people study, as long as they pursue what they want to do appropriately. Who are you to say one major is stupid it because you find no interest in it? Simply because it doesn't pay a lot?

Many people get degrees in fields that have no open jobs simply becsuse it.is interesting.

Some pursuits especially for a career are oddly specific and a hard to make a living off of and expecting to be successful despite the reality of the situation could be a rude wake up call. Lots of people take acting, but few ever make it to a level to really support themselves and a lot of that is connections and maybe some luck.

I created an account because I didn't want people to be saying things like "she's probably just doing an arts degree" or just slamming any uni degree or trying to make it sound like I'm just bludging and taking from the education system with no plans to give back. If you don't believe me, fine, but I wanted to personally give context to people commenting on it since there was no way to write it all in the limited amount of characters.

And just to clarify, the post was originally made from my phone before I ever had an account because I didn't expect it to make the main page in the first place.

I don't know how it works in USA but in the UK you get a student loan to do a degree funded by the taxpayer and you only have to pay it off after you start earning a certain amount. Certain degrees, not mentioning any names, are almost useless for finding a decently paid jobs, hence the student is unlikely to reach that wage level and will never pay back their loan. If you want to do a degree in what you love fine, but there are too many people in the UK doing that and getting their entire £27k course funded by the taxpayer only to work a minimum wage job that anyone could do. If you want to do a degree in a hobby rather than something that will help society then good for you, but I don't want to pay for it. See my problem now?
