Sometimes I feel we so-called “men” deserve to be losing our grip as the dominant species on the planet…..good for you ladies for getting your education and raising the bar….shame on you “man “majority” for your sloth and lack of ambition.  Get to work, prepare, provide, conquer! In the last three decades, women have come to form a solid majority of America’s college student population. This is great news, but many others think this progress comes at the expense of college-age men, whose rates of postsecondary school attendance have stagnated.  What’s So Bad about Women Getting All the Degrees? Men haven’t kept up, and this might have consequences down the line. In a few years, for example, the ambitious women who populate today’s colleges and universities might drastically outnumber educated men in their age groups. People generally seek equally educated marriage partners, and many experts fear that female college students will soon face a shortage of eligible bachelors (no pun intended). Most experts also concur that undereducated, ill-prepared men are a net drain on society’s resources. Males are three times more likely to commit suicide now than in 1970, and the decrease in the percentage of men in college has accompanied a clear decline in male participation in public life: in 1964, 72 percent of men voted for president, while that number today has dropped to 53 percent.
