The Atlantic ^ | August 9, 2017 | Jon Marcus

Jessica Smith raised an arm and pointed across the lobby of the university student center like an ornithologist who had just spied a rare breed in the underbrush.

“There’s one,” she said.

It was, in fact, an unusual bird that Smith had spotted, especially on this campus: masculum collegium discipulus. A male college student.

I can attest to this. My daughter is enrolling as a Freshman at Texas Tech, and at the orientation, at least 60-70% of the incoming Freshman I saw were girls.

Boys are tired of being neutered by the educational system. Who can blame them?

Women went over 50% of the college enrollments and graduates in the area of undergraduates as well as graduate and professional schools years ago.

Inequality? After all of the years of lamenting, and pushing programs to get more women into colleges and professional fields it seems they won the battle but refuse to admit victory. Men are still the enemy, and every attempt to marginalize them to promote women is still ongoing.

Surprise? Colleges want White males only for their money, and then they trash them, call them oppressors, discriminate against them, and expel them when a feeble-minded flake accuses them of anything she can make up in her distorted mind.

Tired of setting one foot on campus, staring at a pretty girl for more than four seconds, then being brought-up on sexual harassment charges before a kangaroo court.

Oh, why did I have to go to college 30 years ago when the ratio was more balanced?

Seems like college men have it pretty good, nowadays.

I’m wondering if this is one reason why the higher percentage of ‘transgenders’ is male to female, rather than female to male?

Yes. Back in the 60-70’s there a frequent meme that said ‘a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle’.Really?? I recognized decades ago, that men were actively being discriminated against simply to promote women. Now in many areas, women have the upper hand......has life gotten better for anyone? Life in these United States seems much less ‘happy’ than it used to be........

Affirmative action taken to its final conclusion.

The company that I work for rents space at the local community college campus for company training.

Looking around on a weekday during a semester, I noticed two things:

1: The majority of the CC students were female, and

2: The largest class or subject is ESL.

A rough estimate would be 3:1 female/male.

This local CC also recently discontinued most of their STEM, Ag, and CS programs.

In a part of the country (Pacific Northwest), where all of those fields have a high demand for just those type of skills and knowledge.

Ten years ago I used to give a talk every semester to the Premeds at a local State U. I was not surprised to see the classes were less than 5% white male. Mostly racial minorities, almost all female. This was ten to eight years ago. I am certain it is worse now.

At that campus as I was walking to and fro, the students were well over 90% female.
