The number of men enrolled at 2 and 4 year colleges has fallen behind women by record levels, in a widening education gap across the US (archive.ph)

Next headline, "College debt disproportionately effects women. Men to blame."

I highly doubt that would even be true. Women accrue more debt, definitely, and they do it in fields that earn way less money, and then they don't even stay in the work force for long, but... what they do to make up for all that is marry a man. Who then pays her debt for her, because all the decisions he made in life were made with the knowledge that he'd actually be expected to pay for himself, not just marry someone who could. So when you look at who actually PAYS the debt, it's men.

But on the other hand, none of that would actually stop that headline from being written.

Right, but if there are fewer men going into fields that require a college degree and are potentially higher-paying than the jobs the women would have, then that means that they won't be able to pay off the woman's debt as you note they have done in the past. I feel that this is part of the reason why they're pushing so hard for prior education debt forgiveness in addition to free college educations for all - no need to have the man pay back the money for their useless Women's Studies degree if they got it for free. What they don't figure into it is the devaluation of any other non-useless degrees in the process.

Personally, if I were giving advice to a young man who was about to hit college age, I'd suggest going into a skilled trade. Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, construction, what have you. Get an apprenticeship, learn to work that hustle and be your own boss, and you'll be out of debt and making real money by the time you hit 25.

You'll still find posters with tits on them in most coffee-rooms in the trades. I was at a warehouse a couple years ago where the break-room had like 5 seperate posters smattered across the walls of seriously hot women wearing only what God gave them. What a welcoming and pleasant environment :D

Oh no, the alienated of society are going to be indoctrinated into that which spurs their alienation even less? What ever are we to do?

Because post secondary institutions offer very little in the way of meaningful and well paying career education?

Yeah I didn’t read the article cause I’m too lazy to do a captcha but hopefully this is because more men are doing trade educations. It costs much much less, sometimes is free and you can still make more than enough to support a small family. Plus you get the satisfaction of working with your hands and building/fixing things

Of course it has. They turned colleges into an environment where you risk burning a hundred of thousand dollars and getting nothing out of it but a rape accusation and more knowledge of Marxist theory than you ever cared for.

So? Men should learn trades. Much better pay than indoctrinated gender-studies-coffee-barrista

How many men have returned to the trades instead of "higher learning"?

Cause men logically know it's a racket.

Women get to go and have their ego massaged and placated on tax payer dime.

He thinks college leads to good money and not crippling debt.

For men it's less likely to lead to cripping debt. The ones with fathers know that consequences exist.

The less men in education is definitely planed. I hope there is some justice in the future but for now the future is not looking to good for men.

less men are accepted into higher education and career, women most affected

In this case, 'women most affected' will be unironically true, because men can find happiness in a ten foot cube with some videogames.

It's the women who can't find a good partner who will suffer in the long run.

And I'm just gonna laugh and continue playing 27 year old video games forever.

They will institute some type of bachelor tax, punishing men that try to avoid divorces. I say divorces, because that is the primary purpose for marriage for many women. They plan for their payday.

If good businesses have picked up on this trend (or are leading it even) we'll see more jobs hiring men without degrees, in lieu of experience and personal projects.
