So the Boston Globe is blaming women for men not attending college. Great.
Class consciousness and unlearning harmful biases go hand-in-hand. Feminism is a big part of this, yes.
The other big part of this is for these particularly disaffected men to realize the apparatuses feeding them their beliefs are the enemy of the working class (which is most of them! Look, something they can relate to).
Women and minorities are not out to hurt men. The reason they’re finding life increasingly inaccessible is the ever-widening gulf between the wealthy and the rest of us. How to reach them on that, I don’t know. But it’s a critical piece of the puzzle.
I had to remove the paywall, but it does not appear they make this argument. What they do say is
“The dramatically different social media world young men and women are exposed to may also be a factor, and men are more likely to hear anti-college messaging from Silicon Valley luminaries such as Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, and podcasters like Joe Rogan, said Ted Mitchell, president of the American Council on Education in Washington, D.C.”
The reason often cited for the dramatic increase in women higher education participation has been traced to a network of organization that encourage girls. Apparently boys may be getting the opposite.
And then this gem
“The numbers would be even worse at many top schools if they did not practice a kind of affirmative action to admit more male applicants, several higher education observers said.”
Oof that has got to hurt that the majority of current affirmative action has been for MALES. Not women or minorities.
