In reply to the discussion: professor says big college attendance gender gap will produce "the most dangerous person on earth" [View all]Hekate
(100,133 posts)1. Is he threatening us with incels or what? Is he saying we're breeding insecure, dumb males ...
who cant compete if there are too many women in college? I mean what exactly is his point?
The US does not have a major gender imbalance like either India or China. Now those countries have a really awful problem that runs to the tens of millions.
So, a cohort of American men is choosing not to go to college. Big deal. There are other ways to train for a career that dont leave you penniless for 20 years post graduation. We still need plumbers and electricians which are skilled trades that cannot be outsourced. And theres no earthly reason they should lack social skills that would make them attractive to women.
The lone, broke male gimme a break.
