about an academic considering the social ramifications of the fact that women are likely to outnumber men 2:1 in colleges by the end of this decade.

His concern was that there will be many millions of men with lower prospects who will not make attractive mates. Everywhere and always, the level of social discord is highly correlated with the number of unattached young men with poor economic prospects. Like in The Hood, it only takes a relatively small percentage to disrupt the civic order.

For the couterrevolutionaries that would be a feature and not a bug- millions of potential recruits.

But if we really wanted to attempt to address it with policy, a few things.

Higher Ed is expensive and it is overly oriented toward 4 year academic programs.

There is a very great need in our economy for trained individuals in vocational and technical fields.

2 years of free community college would be superb policy. It would also address some of the cost issues- if somebody's parents don't want to pay for their 4 year experience they could get a solid 4 year degree for substantially less.

There is a strong lobby to oppose that. Foremost are the For Profits who got their forelegs in the student loan trough back in 2006. Colleges and universities below the 2nd tier-AAU level state universities primarily- would suffer as well.

There would also be OK, pretty good, better than nothing jobs for the army of untentureds and adjuncts who are now padding the bottom lines of good colleges.

  Not far from here is a Genex barn where they keep 20-50  bulls that supply much of the dairy cow semen for the US and the world.  The idea of a human society with the vast majority female and only a few thousand drones isn't so far-fetched anymore.  The truth is, there's nothing men can supply women besides semen that cheap sex toys can't and at a whole lot less bother as well.

The rich potential for satire aside-

I'm quite comfortable in the belief that the vast majority of women strongly desire a male partner.

But that partner can't be an anchor on the rest of their lives.

Particularly at the lower/middle end, child tax credit, child care, pre-K would be an enormous aid in family formation and stability.

Just wow, Libs are messed up.

A college degree has been a vehicle to the upper middle class.  However, it seems stories abound of young people projected paying on student loans up to the time they draw social security.  Flipping burgers is all their English Lit degree aided them.

All that said, my Kids all received University degrees (aka "licenses to steal")  and no to little debt.  And for 75 years that has been the recipe for success, question is will it be so in the future?    And remember the best way to make all degrees worthless is to make them free.

Thank goodness my son avoided the indoctrination centers and became a HVAC technician and now earns nearly double of his indoctrinated classmates AND has zero tuition to pay back.  He is only seeking a mate that is Christian and conservative, which there are many.  I told him to have as many kids as possible and I would be glad to home school them all.  Oh, thanks for narrowing down your location for me .   🤠👍

The Strafford, Missouri, facility has pens with natural flooring, outside runs and good handling facilities. The staff has experience in qualifying bulls for export sales as well as providing health papers and shipping for those sales. A separate isolation barn can be utilized to qualify bulls for countries with stringent health requirements.

If women get all this education, can we finally look forward to an end to their bitching about "making 70¢ to a man`s dollar"?   🙂

I recall a school superintendent  saying 10yrs ago "Our biggest challenge is preparing students for jobs that are yet to be invented"....so, I don`t know.    What I do know is the best way to get young men to attend college is tell them "the ratio of women to men is 2 to one!"  ...things kind of level out   🙂

I`ll leave you what the Davos attendee Klaus Schwab has about our children`s future
