Should men today enroll in higher education?

Yes, don't be ridiculous. But remember that there are also trades and community colleges, polytechnics, and other institutions other than female dominated liberal arts. STEM programs are still dominated by men. Choose your school wisely. Avoid Coed dorms, live off campus, date girls from town, or even live at home if the college/university is in your town. If you are going to 'guy talk' don't do it public or near a girl, and especially not on facebook (which, BTW, has claimed many females getting kicked out of schools for selfies when they are drunk or scantily clad). There are lots of common sense rules to follow, but not going to a higher learning institution is not one.

The advice I have been giving my college age relatives is:

1.) Yes, it's worth it.

2.) Get into a STEM program.

3.) Don't get anywhere near an intoxicated girl.

4.) Wear a wrapper.

Sure... online and at mens colleges. But not at any co-ed institution.

I think this is counterproductive to men's future in having a fair place in politics and business.

I read an article about how once the boomers retire there will be a dearth of skilled laborers and tradesmen, any man of college age should probably consider taking up a trade.

Depends on your career aspirations. If a degree is required for your preferred career path, than you have no choice.

The key for men in university today is to minimize the risk that comes with college women. All of the "rape culture" hysteria has made campuses a hostile environment for men, so minimize your risks.

As other have said, avoid your coeds. Focus on your goals. You went to college to get a degree, not a notch count. Don't let a drunken hookup derail your future career before you enter it.

Also, seriously consider the trades, as has been mentioned. They pay well, and are still a primarily male occupation.

Or consider the military. The job ~~sometimes~~ usually sucks, but the training is free, and the camaraderie is something you'll remember long after. I still remember the times I spent stuck in a steel tube under the water with both fondness (for the fun times with my shipmates) and gratitude I'm done (for the bad times).
