This from the Washington Post:

For the first time, more women than men in the United States received doctoral degrees last year, the culmination of decades of change in the status of women at colleges nationwide.

The number of women at every level of academia has been rising for decades. Women now hold a nearly 3-to-2 majority in undergraduate and graduate education. Doctoral study was the last holdout – the only remaining area of higher education that still had an enduring male majority. . . .
Scholarly attention in recent years has turned to the fallen aspirations of men, who are more likely than women to drop out of high school and more apt to be diverted from higher education into menial labor or prison. Men also join the military in disproportionate numbers.

I don’t see anything wrong with some men choosing not to go to college. Many physically demanding jobs tend to be populated by men. And just because a job is labor intensive, that does not mean it should be viewed as “menial.”

We need skilled workers of all kinds in this country. Otherwise, who is going to plumb the houses and fix the cars of all these Ph.D.s? Who is going to drive the trucks that deliver goods to our supermarkets? I’m not looking for the latest doctor of philosophy in anthropology to do the job.

There is nothing undignified about honest work. Many careers do not and should not require a college degree. With the poor level of education that many universities turn out these days, I should think many men are just as well off without it.

Nevertheless, I’m waiting to hear our nation’s feminist leaders speak out against institutionalized, anti-male sexism in our universities. According to their worldview, sexism is the only plausible explanation for the inequality men face now in all levels of academia.
