   Now that I'm a parent, I'm suddenly realizing what huge feminist issue student loans are.

   My loans are around 130k, which means I'm HEAVILY incentivized to stay out of the workforce to keep them in deferment. I don't even know that I'd bring home an income working, between childcare costs and loan payments.

   In principle this should be a both-genders problem, but of course it ends up amplifying the pressure on women to stay home.

     That sounds like a personal issue. Maybe the dad should stay home, or if you're not together, get full custody, and you can work to pay off the loans. You're a big girl. Act like it.
