That 30% increase is significant.
If Wil is looking at the situation as if he is making an investment he could be thinking he could make a $100k investment (an estimate for the 4 yr college that his child picked). With a son he could make that investment & it would take 3 yrs & 10 months to have the theoretically investment pay for itself where a daughter would take 30% longer to pay off the theoretical investment off.
This is more addressing TiltedDonkey's posts than mine, but yeah, that's reasonable. It's not clear wil understands this, though, because like TD has been saying, wil's still been comparing daughter's earnings vs. man's earnings when he
should be comparing (as you are doing here) daughter's uneducated earnings vs. daughter's educated earnings.
Sure is a strange day in P7 when mickey (first on Eric Trump's "Democrats aren't people" comments which LDO wil wholeheartedly agrees with, now here) is making much stronger posts than wil.
