I don't think it's a waste of money for three reasons.
a) We treat everyone as individuals. Just because a large proportion of women cut hours, change to low pressure jobs or leave the workforce for time while raising kids doesn't mean all do. Even if it is a minority who will take career over family for a significant time, it doesn't mean they should be excluded from education because of the majority.
b) If you live in a democracy it's neccesary for everyone to be educated. If women didn't get an education at all they wouldn't be able to read or write, meaning their knowledge about world affairs would be limited and their ability to interact with others through letter writing etc would be removed. No doubt that there are some idiots and ignorants who get to vote vote, their called BNP or UKIP supporters (or god help them Veritas) [8D], but they are a minority.
c) This is a personal one for me, but I couldn't live with an idiot girlfriend or wife longer than a few months, and she'd have to be unbelievably hot too [p][D], before I got bored and went looking for someone better. I know the studies say men look for women less intelligent than themselves but I can't bear them. I don't have any dumb female friends let alone potential partners.

If I could... Then I would... Turn back time!!
