No, actually it's much worse. Boys are bullied out of STEM and told openly they are not welcome in the humanities. So they give up. The motivated ones might try for STEM anyway but they won't see any help through scholarships, internships, or lab time. That's all for promising young cunt-havers. The motivated AND smart boys just go into a trade and make some money. Of course, that means they are being trained to answer to the female "front office" workers.
It has been this way for at least 25 years: since the mid-90s. It has gotten worse each and every year since then.
Can confirm woman in office. Started working utility jobs in early 90s, every year more men leave or retire from office and replaced by woman with collage papers. Place I'm at now has 2 men and over 30 women in the office, and when one of them fucks up they try their best to blame the field workers, even when we had no access to the computer they fucked up.
Go into the trades. Auto mechanics, electricians, welders, plumbers, etc., are largely immune to this because all of those things require actual work to accomplish, so the Woke tend to avoid like the plague. You can make pretty good money, too. Or teach yourself coding and just start applying; having been on hiring teams, we want results and problem solving skills more than credentials.
Beyond that, I really feel for the current generation. Y'all are getting screwed hard and with no lube.
I feel like I dodged a huge bullet by graduating from college in the late 90s. A couple of my professors were woke-ish, and it annoyed me to no end, but it wasn't nearly as pervasive. It's so much worse now, holy shit. Were I in the current generation, I wouldn't go to a college or university these days if you paid me.
Well, assuming I would have been able to see through all of the social programming the current generation experiences by the time they reach 18. Given how I was back then, my bets would be on "Nope, downtrodden, give up." Hell, I barely made it out as it was.
That's definitely the correct analysis in the current environment. Hell, with online classes and the like, our whole educational paradigm is ripe for a complete reorganization all the way from Kindergarten on up. Homeschooling "pods" seems to be what things are converging on currently, so you get the benefit of social interaction and results over scores, but don't have the potentially toxic instructor-led mechanism that has corrupted our existing institutions.
But if anyone comes to me today, I'd not only tell them to steer clear of college, I'd tell them to run as quickly as possible in the opposite direction. It didn't used to (or have to) be that way, but we've reached a degree of Dogma Capture that the entire field of higher education is a lost cause.
Yeah, homeschooling is not what it used to be. They're getting together and getting a kind of "community education" going where different parents are teaching different topics based on expertise, or even full outside experts are being brought in to teach home-schooling classes on specialty topics that require more lab-work or advanced skills (like a chemistry class). It's no longer the parent throwing a book at the kid and hoping for the best.
but don't have the potentially toxic instructor-led mechanism that has corrupted our existing institutions.
I think there's always a risk for that, but I think that so long as there are enough parents involved, toxicity can be nipped in the bud quickly and someone else can be brought in, specifically because of how close the parents are to the actual subject matter and coursework.

I'm more worried about a full on collapse due to lack of technical skill. We're already at a point where it's important to get internships and certifications while in college, because the university system isn't preparing even straight A students for work and employment. If there's any industry (besides DIE) that's going to completely fucking implode in the next collapse, it's academia. It's lost it's very purpose.
I mean, I hate to say it, but if the post grad gets to choose between cute co-ed (with all that brings, good and bad), or weedy male undergrad, I don’t think their choice is that… “Surprising”, per se…
It shouldn’t be that way, but uhh, I could see it potentially being so, for other reasons than “muh women in STEM for virtue signalling”. 🤷🏻♂️

We need some influential businessmen to push in the opposite direction and start hiring only people with no college degree.
Peter Thiel does this.
Vitalik Buterin was one of his fellows.
He did quite well considering he dropped out of university.
You can't refuse to hire women.
Yeah, I’ve experienced this, actually… With STEM, and humanities, and University in general…
So now I’m a dropout with… Nothing. Honestly nothing. No degree. No real social life. Fucking nothing. I got burned hard. More than once.
So I guess I fucking gave up.
So yeah, I don’t just “get it”. I have lived it.

I honestly don't encourage people to go into college unless they are trying to go into some specific field that would require it like law or medicine.

And forget about being an undergrad assisting on a post-grad research project. That always disgusted me how blatant it was back in engineering school.
