Public schools, such as high schools and colleges, have become jobs programs for women and minorities. All men need better opportunities because high schools and colleges.
You are right that those places are jobs programs, really for anyone with no marketable private-sector skills; just about everything related to government is now (to pretend assimilation works, along both race and gender lines).
The libs pushing these stories about men aren’t worried about the economic future of men; they are worried about the lack of breeding opportunities for WOMEN, and the economic impact for WOMEN of unattached men who look after only themselves (and maybe parents). They feel men should be providing a certain standard of living for women, and that simply isn’t happening very much anymore.
