Why should a woman be forced to be a nurse or teacher because she's "fugly" and didn't get married? Women should be able to exist without being dependent on having a husband at 18 or younger. Marrying off underage girls was a typical practice then in order to have a man "take care of them." That's certainly despicable behavior. It's good that a woman can work and support herself rather than being handed off to one of her father's acquaintances for a goat. It's good that a woman can work and escape abusive relationships while having financial independence. And I for one think it's a good thing that there are requirements for nurses and teachers. Whether you think today's versions are quality ones or not, an untrained nurse or uneducated teacher shouldn't be doing such jobs. And it doesn't matter if there's more competition in nursing or teaching when literally every other type of job is open for women to do. And women do as good of work as men.
