I believe we should talk more about men's issues, but this article/stat doesn't look honest.
Here is a stat of absolute number of males/females with higher education in US. Only recently it evened out:

Obviously, if the trend continues, we will have a real college degree gap soon, so this may be a good moment to warn against it. But let's not use twisted statistics for it.
- malvosenior 8y agoThe stats you posted are for the total US population though, so that includes people who graduated 30+ years ago. It's probably more useful to look at current graduation rates or degree holders of a younger age. If you do, the divide between men and women (in women's favor) is more extreme: https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/11/gender-education-gap/546677/ https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/11/gender-...
