This is the one part of your entire moronic screed with even a grain of truth.  I guess that's the secret of big lies: the best ones have partial truth in them.

...and this is where we go sailing off into culture/cold-warrior MRA fantasy and idiocy.

The truth is that the higher your education level, the more likely you are to have a marriage that succeeds.  Why engage in rhetorical garbage when you have facts at hand...from the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

As you can see, the lower educational (and economic) groups have much higher divorce rates.  And as for your little tidbit about marrying right out of college, here's  a lovely picture of [b]the divorce rate as a function of age at the time of marriage[/b] (ie, getting married younger vs. delaying marriage until older):

The clear answer is that divorce isn't inevitable for anybody, but it's much less likely the higher your level of education (ie, women get college and graduate degrees too and have their heads filled with Women's Lib ideas in Liberal Ivory White Tower enclaves for several extra years instead of getting knocked up by cletus and dropping out of community college).

You're a moron full of psuedo-scientific assertions intended to support an MRA view of wives as breeding chattel, mostly because you have a small member and are insecure that someone bigger is gonna come along and take her off your hands.
