Why Men Are the New College Minority
The Atlantic ^ | August 9, 2017 | Jon Marcus

Jessica Smith raised an arm and pointed across the lobby of the university student center like an ornithologist who had just spied a rare breed in the underbrush.

“There’s one,” she said.

It was, in fact, an unusual bird that Smith had spotted, especially on this campus: masculum collegium discipulus. A male college student.

Mattress Girl imitators and fans, cowardly college deans bullied by BLM or Antifa at Mizzou and Evergreen College also discourage many young men from enrollment.

If you ask me, males realize there has to be a realistic “return on investment”. College is no longer a reasonable investment. The girls go “on daddies dime” because what else is daddy gonna do with them? At least that is my assessment. One thing for certain, women are no longer going to college for a Mrs. degree.

Oh, why did I have to go to college 30 years ago when the ratio was more balanced? Seems like college men have it pretty good, nowadays.

In my son's business program, there were 65% females. I told him it was his 'moral duty' to have at least TWO girlfriends... Otherwise, some girls would never get serviced properly.

We must also consider that the vast majority of college majors are worthless.
What is the percentage when we count only REAL academic majors, e.g., STEM and a very few liberal arts topics?

Gee, Academia devalues White males, treats them as a threat and targets them in a kangaroo court campus legal system. Then the schools are surprised when the young men don’t come or leave quickly. The collegians need to go back to college.

Because they aren't dumb enough to bury themselves in student loan debt to subsidize idiot affirmative action perfessers like Melissa Click?

There are so many reasons why we hope that our grandsons and grand nephews don’t go to college, and this is one of the top reasons.

As smart and good looking young white alpha males, they do not need to put with this left wing hatred while paying big money to be there.

And as the universities go, so next go the workplaces.

Women make the professional workplace hell because they are for the most part pain in the ass control freaks.

The universities now groom the females to be the keepers and handlers of the males, there and in the workplace.

And women have zero perspective, zero balance, zero sense of fair play.

Look what they are doing to that Google guy.

The women won't be satisfied until that guy's bowels are pulled out and burned. And what he said was the stone truth, nothing more!!

It's crap.

If I was pre-college age I would opt for online, STEM at a male-friendly college or academy, or trade school.

The genders need to be segregated in the formative years.

Not merely for the protection of the females.

Believe me, the females pound for pound can be as toxic as the males.

There really is no point in getting a degree in anything other than a STEM curriculum. Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, etc. A finance and/or an accounting degree can have a good Positive return on investment if you’re in a ranked program and in the top 10% of your class.

Most other degrees are hit or miss. You’ll be lucky to break even with them in today’s job market.

Most of the degrees today didn’t exist 30 years ago. The only degree in my day with even the root of the word social in it was sociologist and the word justice was only found in a degree named “Criminal Justice”.

All the new “degrees” are indicative of the decline of western civilization, IMNSHO.

Most of the top Universities with Engineering schools have >= 50% males. That’s how I met my wife. She got an Mrs degree (me) and a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering and she managed to do it without an attitude. She’s the best thing that ever happened to me. Smart! Hard working! Intelligent! Pretty! and blind as bat otherwise I wouldn’t have landed that prize!

Also in my day an in-state student could pay for almost all their expenses including tuition and room and board with a year round part time job. That is no really possible today.

If your wealthy, democrat and a cheat it’s an Ivy league pay to play degreea and your in and done as long as mommy’s and daddy’s check clears.

“Ten years ago I used to give a talk every semester to the Premeds at a local State U. I was not surprised to see the classes were less than 5% white male. Mostly racial minorities, almost all female. This was ten to eight years ago. I am certain it is worse now.”

Perhaps those racial minorities and females know they can get better scores on the MCAT than their non-female, non-minority counterparts.
