Are Colleges Not Welcoming to Young Men?
- ethanbond 11y agoMen avoid going to college because date rape seminars tell them (and everyone else) not to rape their classmates. Just like drinkers avoid going to college because alcohol safety seminars tell them (and everyone else) not to get alcohol poisoning. Men also avoid college because (certainly non-required) gender studies courses speak frankly about the long history of gender-based violence. This is also why German-Americans avoid college in fear of learning about Nazi atrocities in a history class. Ridiculous. Men perform worse, on paper, in high school. Men disproportionately work in trades/vocations. Women seem to perform disproportionately well in the largest programs that exist (things like social studies, literature, education, nursing etc). All of these are much more interesting, likely, and actionable hypotheses than "people don't go to college because they're afraid of a seminar that they don't even know they need to watch until 2 days before it happens." Are you kidding?
