this is the serious board

He basically brings up that males and females have undeniable differences/advantages in certain fields, and brings up a bell curve where women have a tendency to have a higher amount of average intelligence whereas males have less average intelligence a high amount of both low and very high intelligence. He then claims that most of the brilliant minds of the past were male because of this curve and that universities should foster males because they have a bigger chance of bringing about greater minds like the ones in the past.

The problem society is facing today he says, is that with new innovations and creations, it creates new industries which employs people and as efficiency improves, employment is scaled back. So we have reached a point where innovation is being scaled down, and as a result, we'll eventually scale back employment and the economy as a whole because our ability to invent new fields and industry has slowed, and he claims this is a result of pushing for more females at higher levels of education.

He certainly words it better than I do.

Can I get a synopsis?

We're not innovating enough because we favor women in education is what he's saying.

So, we're not innovating enough because of women?

Question, are males currently under represented in universities?

Not what you feel, either. Any real data on this?

BEGONE UNI THOTS

You make it sound like that's a bad thing.

See now, what this really is is just misogyny camouflaged as utilitarianism. It's an old Nazi trick, really. Convince the drones that undesirables need to be removed from positions of influence for the good of society and next thing you know you can round up slavs by tens of thousands for slave labor with nobody batting an eye.

It starts with taking women out of universities, then you take them back out of the workplace to reverse the damage to the housing market that the dual income family standard did, then you remove them from life.

Who here asks for permission before they take up a career path or pursue some academic field?

Not many, right?

To everyone asking about his sources, it's as Flee has said, the guy in the video is straight up pulling shit out of his ass. My reasoning for bringing this video up isn't because I think there's a gender war that's blocking males from entering universities, but that there may be hindrances that could block anyone from going to college. I say maybe because I really don't want to look up statistics and sources. There's some things in the video that echoed though me, it's more on me as an individual rather than me and males as a whole. What I'll give is entirely anecdotal, I wont try to tout it as fact, merely a recount as to what happened to me and a possibility that there might be others like me out there that could face the same dilemma.

I don't have a college degree, nor do my two older brothers. My younger sister might be the only one out of the four of us that'll ever have one. I went to college part-time for two years before I left out of frustration. I left for a multitude of reasons. One reason was I had no sense of direction, I was only doing Gen-Ed classes and had no major declared, something like what field you're going into is something most people have figured out before starting college and even if they change in the middle of their studies, they'd probably know exactly what they want to go into. I know now I would want to go into some form of film production. Frankly though, I have little interest in picking up where I left off two years ago.

Another reason was the constant push for STEM, throughout all of high school I was bombarded with adults telling me I HAD to go to college, and I HAD to major in some form of STEM. It was really pressuring and I ended up just walking away from it, there was no fostering of any other possible field of study; just straight up push for engineering, medical, or hard science. Which is incredibly ironic that I get to college and almost all my gen-eds were completely Humanities. After spending four years being told in high school that I'm getting all my foundation learning and college is where you'll get into your specialized field, I felt lied and betrayed to find more foundation learning. Possibly the one thing I agree with the video I posted is a push for humanities, I absolutely hated it.

It's also the constant push to go to college that pushes me away from it. Having family, and fellow coworkers just constantly talk about how I NEED to go back and finish school really angers me. I want to see how far I can make it without a degree and if I ever reach management within Disney, I just want to tell all my family off about how they were wrong. I feel as though society around me is built off the expectation of me going to college, and because I never finished I'm a failure; I don't want that pressure, if I return from my indefinite hiatus it's because I chose to do it, not because others expected me to.

If the guy in the video believes that less males are entering universities, I believe he should look up all types of reasoning, he only needs to look at me to see it has nothing to do with females and more to do with pressure. And you can look at Japan as an example of a country that pressures youth into higher education too much and why it's a problem.

Go fuck a goat Ahkmed.

lol

So, I'm not watching the video because eugh, but it seems like kind of a shit argument?

Universities were literally invented by men and were, for a long time, exclusively meant to cater towards men. Women outnumber men in colleges in the current day, sure, but it's not as though it's by a hugely significant percentage and it's not as though colleges discriminate against men.

I suppose you could rightfully use the term "overcompensation" to describe the push for women attending colleges in the modern age - since, like I said, they now outnumber men as a whole - but I think historically there's a precedent set for such a thing to make perfect sense.

It is, he doesn't really provide any sources for his claims of male superiority other than listing off names of geniuses who happen to be male. As stated earlier, I posted the video in an effort to push discussion over what different kinds of things could be pushing men away from college, as he not only doesn't back up his claim that men are leaving because of women, but saying it's the sole reason would be silly in and of itself.
