That’s not exactly what he’s claiming. Men simply aren’t applying to New England schools, including Harvard and Ivy League schools.

Those that do apply aren’t the absolute best and brightest.

30 years ago that would correct itself. Thirsty baws would look for the favorable ratio.

Problem is progressive women are so toxic that men want nothing to do with them and are seeking out campuses where you can be yourself.

That is the gistvof what he is claiming though, he is stating that there would not be as many men anyway based on meritocracy, which is complete horseshite.

Did you read the article? There is a list of reasoning leading up to that statement.

You really do have to be kind of dumb to waste your time and money on a Harvard degree in 2026. Nobdoy gives a shite anymore. Most Ivies are degree mills for marxists and minorities.

Per the article this mentality is exactly what is driving lower male enrollments.

Then I'd say the professor is saying the opposite of what OP thinks he said.

Sad part is this sums up most online discourse. Very few people read articles anymore. They just see the headline and run somewhere else to create a clickbait headline post of their own which may or may not be accurate to what the article was about.

I’m not saying OP would agree with everything the author is arguing for but it’s not an honest discussion

The article kind of spells out that the interest of male students has shifted away from traditional offerings of some of the smaller northeast lib-art schools or smaller schools. A lot of schools up there haven't seen the drop off.

Coupled with the younger male population buying in that college education is a scam.

Later development and just a general dislike of school/education due to some teaching methods.

The article is pretty much saying not a lot of anything. But the click bait works.

What is the phenomenon called where an idiot asks you to trust the product of his intellect with respect to intelligence?

I think Alvin Plantinga has written about it.

It's actually worse than that.

You're not paying for an education at Harvard. You're paying to say you went to Harvard.

Same with the rest of the Ivies.
