I teach a class called “Technology & the Culture of War” that is usually 90/10 male to female (because it’s basically a military history class). Today’s class roll: probably 60/40 female. Boys are steadily diminishing as a % of college students.
A lot of ambiguity in the headline. Of course, if this keeps up, they will be selecting boys, because no girls will be available.
And the ghastly abortion free for all in this country, we’re in no position to moralize.
But...I thought we couldn’t tell if they were boys or girls. Poor parents are going to abort a girl who thinks she’s a boy in favor of a boy who thinks he’s a girl. Hmmm..what a tangled web.
It’s a Jungian memory of pre-historic conflicts that may have spanned centuries, wherein humans found that men are good at fighting and woman are good on the baggage train. Fighters have a high mortality rate. Women merely get captured, enslaved and raped and repopulate during the more peacefull times.
/S just made up stuff.
Just imagine what would happen if all of those countries were really sexist like the U.S.
Or, is it that women are increasing as a % of college students? I may have missed your point.
Either or. We’re not sure which, but the % of men are declining steadily. It’s way below 50/50 now.
every country wants more soldiers for what they know is coming
Just wait until the “gay gene” is identified
RE: Selecting Boys Over Girls Is A Trend In More And More Countries
This, together with “gay marriage” legislation expanding worldwide will ensure the prevalence of sodomy.
So is this why ISIS and their ilk have to kidnap girls and make them sex slaves? Over populate with horny males and then go looking for girls? The UN should teach them how to jerk off if they want to continue this trend.
Think about all the aborted babies.
There is NO over-population problem in my opinion.
It is ironic that feminists value an absolute right to abortion, to the detriment and death of hundreds of millions of girls.
Population control. Lotta boys, lotta war. No females, no kids. Nature’s checks and balances.
This sort of discussion has been around for some time, along with agonized discussion about what sort of "abortion rights" is most properly feminist.
For example, see this 2013 thread: Why women have a right to sex-selective abortion
[...] even the most terrible reason for having an abortion holds more sway than the best imaginable reason for compelling a woman to carry to term.
I would think roughly 50/50 would be a good number.
But, your implication seems to be not that more women are going to college, but that many fewer men are. I wonder why that would be?
I would have a hard time going to college now, just because of the politically-correct-verging-on-fascistic environment nowadays. But, most college age men have been raised in schools like that, as have the women, so....I don’t know.
That’s one reason I’m retiring this year. I could teach five more years but the PC noose is tightening.
It is much deeper than that; once women’s primary role is no longer to bear children, there is little (or nothing) they will do better than a man.
