[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just some random thoughts:

-The on-campus gender split is just going to grow. I fully expect that by 2035, college campuses will be split at 75% female and 25% male. Men will continue to "drop out and off" from society. That is not stabilizing at all and it is only going to get worse. An effective "fix" simply doesn't exist at this time. However, many of the degrees women are pursing in droves are going to be soon seen as obsolete.

-I see that a possible solution is for gender separation in schools, especially in the younger years, as boys mature more slowly than girls. Why not try this route?

-Younger guys will not approach younger women (college age) these days in person. It is extremely rare due to what others on this thread have called the "creeper" vibe. Young guys have told me that they don't want to be dragged all over social media because they've been labelled as a creeper.

-Automation is going to have a hell of an effect on a lot of white collar jobs ahead. Laugh all you want, but a lot of those jobs are where many super-smart females are headed. Automation is gaining a hell of a lot of steam on the manufacturing environment where men traditionally worked(and still do). The white collar fields where females are now excelling (project management, business, law, medical) are all prime targets for in-depth automation. Then what?

-Younger men seemed to be much better equipped to successfully navigate in a gig-style economy. Younger men also seem to be much better at risk taking and making the hard decisions in a business environment. Women, especially in the modern white collar workplace, are far more risk-averse. This is definitely starting to have a negative effect on economic growth and the introduction of new ideas and trends.

-That article from The Hill mentioned:

[quote]Some of them are dating each other. One-fifth of Generation Z identifies as queer, and research suggests bisexual women make up a large share of the young-adult queer community.  [/quote]

This isn't isolated to Gen Z, and this is especially true in the DC area. I have known MANY Millennial females who normally identify as straight but are hopelessly single and can't meet "good dudes" for a myriad of reasons. So, they experiment and pursue intimacy with other females. I was shocked at just how many females I know between the ages of 28 and 45 that are in this group in the DC area.

The problem is that women equate college with necessity. Given the massive costs of college, huge debt loads, and the fact that people often never even need a college degree to work in the fields they're in, men have already reached the conclusion that college is a terrible ROI. It's only a matter of time until women reach the same conclusion.

Why does anyone need to spend $70k per year to learn how to program a computer when 60% of the coursework that you're paying exorbitant sums of money for loads you up with useless liberal arts classes you'll never need again in your life?   You don't need a college degree and massive amounts of debt to become an electrician, carpenter, or mechanic. Specialized tradesmen can easily earn $100-200k eventually, will never be burdened with debt, and will never have their jobs shipped overseas.  Their jobs are much more critical to the function of the entire country than probably 95% of over paid white collar jobs too. You also don't need a college degree to become an entrepreneur or to start your own business. Heck, my uncle is a Vietnam vet, never went to college, and started a very successful landscaping business in a very good location. He owns many acres of land that is worth a lot of money now and has millions of dollars from investing.

Too many people think you need college to be successful. Education also does not equal intelligence. [/quote]
