Colleges Have a Guy Problem. I surprised that this article doesn't even mention the kangaroo courts that exist on so many college campuses, that are all too eager to expel men on baseless accusations alone.

Angela Duckworth, the author of Grit, have found that, while girls and boys have similar IQ scores, girls get better grades thanks to their superior self-control and ability to delaygratification.

The psychologist would be wrong. They get it because teachers give them higher grades.

Colleges Have a Guy Problem

As if it's male people that are causing difficulties for colleges, and not the other way around. Totally dishonest, IMO.

Although they are still playing catch-up in the labor force, and leadership positions such as chief executive and senator are still dominated by men, women have barnstormed into
colleges.

They even threw in the wage gap bullshit.

College is a hostile environment for men.

IronJohnMRA · 2021-09-15T21:25:34+00:00

I'm done reading this feminist garbage. At least the comments were positive.

"My biggest immediate worry is that men are making the wrong decision,” Goldin said.

Go ahead and blame the men without accepting responsibility for the fact that universities these days are stacked against men with less and less financial aid offered to men against higher and higher school costs. The unfair treatment, as OP mentioned the Kangaroo courts, and to add on, the indoctrination against men/masculinity that is rampant on campus from posters vilifying men as rapists to "woke", awareness events. Another factor is the quality of education is sometimes not applicable to the market or not worth the cost when for some classes the lectures look like PowerPoints made by a teenager and we're expected to teach ourselves from a textbook (I guess still gives us access to a professor and opportunities to network but should I be paying in the thousands for that). I think Goldin could be wrong, less men wasting time at these "advanced high schools" could result in more entrepreneurship and innovation but given society's current state not likely either.

It's mainstream media. What do you expect ?

The Atlantic needs to hire a Copy Editor or someone who knows what they're writing about. That's a painful read

Makes baseless claims, dismisses others as meritless and, jumps from one point to another. Take the below as an example:

This male haphazardness might be reproducing itself among younger generations of men who lack stable role models to point the way to college. Single-parent households have grown significantly more common in the past half century, and 80 percent of those are headed by mothers. This is in part because men are more likely to be incarcerated; more than 90 percent of federal inmates, for example, are men. Men are also less likely to be fixtures of boys’ elementary-school experience; about 75 percent of public-school teachers are female. Suggesting that women can’t teach boys would be absurd. But the absence of male teachers might be part of a broader absence of men in low-income areas who can model the path to college for boys who are looking for direction.

And with pretty much every published piece of drivel it twists it back around and puts the blame on masculinity (that it hasn't caught up).

Yeah, lets change the game and denigrate males throughout the education system. That'll really help them /s

Girls in elementary school spend more time studying than boys, are less likely to misbehave than boys.

People do realise that feminine behaviour is idolised as gold standard for appropriate school behaviour? I have read reports of teacher calling a boy's parents and telling them he has 'serious behavioural issues' just because he drew a Pirate ship looting another ship. Do you realise how stupid that sounds? Thats normal boy behaviour. You CANT stop boys from being boys. So why dont you change your standards for good behaviour before saying boys misbehave more.

40% of female doctors leave the profession within 6 years. These numbers are shocking to say the least.

"According to the research, within six years of completing training, 22.6% of women physicians were not working full-time compared to 3.6% of male physicians." https://www.aamc.org/news-insights/why-women-leave-medicine

I'm sure that feminists blame men for this gap... But I think this gap is disgraceful. It hurts so many people. I once taught a woman who was in med school. Her only reason to be there was "to land a doctor husband" and never actually become a doctor. I wanted to slap some sense into her... You're taking a place away from someone that actually wants to help people. She was a disgrace to humanity IMO.

Their marriage rates have fallen in lockstep with their church attendance.

Oh fuck off. Churches are completely gynoncentric, and have been for decades. That's on churches, not men.

FYI, I'm not angry at you. Just this writer.

Boys used to do as well or even better than girls in school. Then in 1974 we passed WEEA which encouraged schools to focus on girls. Ever since, boys have done worse and worse. We also see feminist groups sponsoring no boys allowed college prep programs.

It’s not about girl’s brains. Remember, boys did just as well until we started discriminating against them. Girl’s brains didn’t magically evolve in 50 years. That’s ridiculous.

Society has purposely favored girls in education and it’s frustrating that articles such as this fail to acknowledge most of this discrimination.

reddut_gang · 2021-09-16T20:51:33+00:00

I'm glad. I know it's copium and discrimination is discrimination, but I'm glad less men are flushing their money down a toilet.

Government will reflect colleges. 60% female. It won't stop there.

Take online classes. I did that for 8 years. My worst problem was getting a C in statistics.
