Well put. Can't waaait for that bubble to burst. The rise in female participation is due to government incentives to not only fill quotas but draw as much money out of the system as possible. Even though men are starting to wise up to this bullshit by not even attending the gauntlet anymore, fathers and BBs inevitably bail out these girls because they can't hack it in the real world. Then colleges/government turn around and say "Look! Men are worthless, they can't even stay in college for 4 years, they aren't even attending anymore, women MUST be smarter/harder working.", yet ignore the fact that men are the ones slaving away to pay off the majority of tuition fees for the female population!!! Men lose either way if they aren't vigilant, so the move is to not play.

My parents along with strong social norms were of course the reason I decided to go. I was one of few who could/should have benefited from further education, however my experience was severely detracted from by the environment alone. Eggshells everywhere. Getting marked down for dissenting ideas with certain teachers, required courses like African American/Minority Studies, Women's Studies. It's all bullshit. For men in college now the best strategy is to make the least amount of noise, the smallest wake. I was literally in a twilight zone of bullshit, yet I rationalized if I could only hold out for my degree. Most important thing I learned was self education. You can't trust shit out of the mouths of even professors these days. I walked right out a class the day a professor confronted us with "this class is secondary to my funding and research alone". I was blown away. Knowledge and education is best attained by yourself. Learn tangible real world skills.

"Social skills do well for getting the job, just not getting the job done well, no wonder women are better off these days."
