Decreasing Percentage of College Graduates Are Men
There appear to be 2 reasons why the percentage of male college graduates is falling.
The first reason is economic discrimination. Women have more financial aid available to them than men. Big corporations donate money to college grant programs with the stipulation that men not receive any of it. Corporations such as Walmart, Home Depot, Starbucks, Pfizer, Coldwell Banker, JP Morgan, Robert Half International, The General Electric Company and Prudential have donated large sums of money to college grant programs such as The Business and Professional Women Foundation, and the American Association of University Women. These programs provide college grants only to female students.
Additionally, the National Science Foundation (a federal agency) has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars over the last few years for college grants with the stipulation the student cannot be a man. These donations have gone to organizations such as Women in Engineering and Computer and Information Science, American Association of University Women, and The Association for Women In Science Scholarships. This is a violation of Title IX and is government sponsored discrimination.
Lastly, some - not all - professional women donate tens of thousands dollars every year to grant programs such as The American Association of University Women, The P.E.O. Program, The Educational Foundation for Women in Accounting, and The Business and Professional Women Foundation. These programs hand out tens of thousands of dollars for college tuition with the stipulation the student not be a man.
It is financially easier for a woman to go to college and graduate than a man.
The second reason for the decreasing percentage of male college graduates is education discrimination.
In the subjects of math and science, girls have more assistance and encouragement than boys. Programs such as The National Girls Collaborative Project, Women & Math Program, The National Math & Science Young Leaders Program, The All Girls/All Math Program and many others across America are designed to promote learning solely among girls. These programs are financed by corporations such as Exxon, Fortune, GlaxoSmithKline Inc., Cisco Systems and even the Federal government. There is no comparable or equal assistance for boys. Many colleges and Universities such as Meredith College, Michigan State University, University of Nebraska & many others also sponsor similar girls only learning programs. Additionally, institutions such as Carnegie Science Center & Arizona Science Center coordinate math & science learning programs with local teachers to ensure girls succeed in these subjects. Boys are not given the same encouragement.
In today's information age, reading has become a very important subject. Many US schools use poetry & novels to teach reading. The literatures taught are specifically designed to appeal to girls. They are generally based on various character's feelings and emotions. Most literatures allegedly designed for boys are also written from the same emotional perspective. Thus, boys generally find reading class unappealing. A few teachers have allowed students some freedom in selecting literatures for learning, including offering novels based on adventure, exploration, and hobbies - subjects which commonly appeal to boys. Thus, the development of a boy's reading skills appears to depend on how many open minded teachers he encounters.
America's education system is designed to promote the advancement of girls into college.
To further emphasize it is America's sexist education policies that is causing the drop in percentage of male college graduates, Chinese and Japanese boys do not experience the education difficulties of American boys.
A few teachers have rebelled, notably Judith Kleinfeld. They want the education system modified to address boys's difficulties.However, there has been resistance to solving boys education problems. The American Association of University Women, Time Magazine, the Association of Colleges & Universities American and Feminist Teacher Journal are openly against altering the education system to help boys. They insist girls should remain the focus of American education. These organizations state men often get high paying jobs in manufacturing and construction - jobs which require no college degree. Thus, boys won't have a problem in adult life. However, since 1980, about 5 million manufacturing jobs have been eliminated in America. Additionally, construction jobs are highly unstable. They only pay well when they are available. These fields no longer provide a financial future.
A college degree is now very important for remaining employed. This fact is displayed by the current recession. The vast majority of layoffs are men who have no college education. Additionally, the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that since 1970, the unemployment rate for high school graduates has been twice the unemployment rate of college graduates. Lastly a study by Dr. Beveridge appears to show wages for men as a group, adjusted for inflation, have declined since 1970 largely due to a lack of education.
America has learned nothing from its early 20th century past - an era of mass discrimination. The narrow minded arrogance which excluded large groups of people from higher learning in that era, continues to control education in the 21st century. People who intentionally inhibit the advancement of groups of students should be swept aside.
Why Men Increasingly Avoid Marriage
A Carl Weisman study showed American men are increasingly avoiding marriage. Men fear getting involved in bad marriages with bad wives. This fear is partly driven by the feminist based anti-husband messages of women's magazines and writers.
For example, Parenting Magazine claims their marriage survey shows moms are angry at their husbands "at surprising levels". They state husbands "often don't notice what needs to be done around the house or with the kids". They also claim husbands have "more time to themselves" as compared with moms. Their survey stated 46% of moms get irate with their husbands once a week or more. Lisa Bain, executive editor of Parenting Magazine said "The truth is if you prick any one of us with a little pin, anger comes out". Female writers of ABC News and the Associated Press discussed the survey and expressed outrage at husbands.
However, the magazine's survey completely ignored husbands. No husband was asked anything. His opinions were considered unimportant. His efforts at work were ignored and he was largely unappreciated by his wife.
One stay at home mom participating in the survey stated she was angered at her husband (who worked 11 hour days) because he set aside some time one day a week to be an independent music producer - something he enjoyed. Another wife responding to the survey stated though her husband did 60% of the housework plus his job, she was angered she had to ask him to do housework.
Single men wonder why is he doing 60% of the work plus his job. They think: Why should I get married if my opinions don't matter. Why would I want to marry a woman who will be mad at me every week for the rest of my life because I don't do things her way? Why is she my boss?
It should also be noted none of the wives in the survey report stated they help their husband with house repairs. Additionally, Glen Sacks stated, according to the Bureau of Labor Statics, men's time to themselves is a meaningless 1% higher than women's.
Another women's magazine, called Double X, promotes books where wives cheat on their husbands. The book 'Prospect Park West' was promoted with the headline "Mommies Want to Have Sex, Just Not With Their Husbands". The book 'The Seven Year Itch' was promoted with the question "is it still realistic to expect wives to remain faithful to their husbands?" Conversely Double X continuously criticizes cheating husbands. The feminist notion its acceptable for a wife to cheat but wrong for her husband to be unfaithful has also been promoted by the online women's magazine Ivillage (though not all its writers agree with this mentality), female writers of the online magazine Askmen and, incredibly, Men's Health Magazine. Additionally, female reporters of ABCNews & Good Morning America continuously criticize cheating husbands. They refuse to criticize cheating wives.
Single men think: Why get married if its ok for my wife to cheat but I have to remain faithful? Why should I give up dating different women to be married to a cheating wife? Why should I accept abuse?
Many husbands have begun asking these same questions and have begun dumping their cheating wives in increasing numbers. This has given rise to websites such as "Stop Your Divorce in 4weeks" and "Cheatingways". These sites seek to prevent husbands from divorcing their cheating wives. The 2nd site (owned by a woman) actually encourages wives to cheat on their husbands. It offers wives a wealth of tips on how to deceive and fraud their husband. The site apparently was not founded with this intent but, like most of the country, drifted into an anti-husband mentality.
Single men think: Since marriage means the exploitation of husbands then why the hell should I get married? Do they think I'm stupid?
Lastly, American divorce laws also cause men to fear marriage.
The feminist judicial system often rules against husbands in divorce. Husband's are usually ordered to pay large alimony / child support payments to the ex-wife. Some claim the child support payments contain hidden alimony. In most states, these payments don't decrease if the ex-wife's income dramatically increases after the divorce. Though some wives with high paying jobs have been ordered to pay alimony/child support to their ex-husbands, many judges are reluctant to apply divorce laws equally. Additionally, if the husband later loses his job & fails to continue child support payments, he will be jailed.
A husband may also face false accusations of sexual and child abuse during the divorce. In those states with heavy feminist bureaucracy, the husband - like the Duke and Hofstra rape fraud cases - will have to prove his innocence. Some wives will interfere with the husband's visitation rights to his children. In feminist oriented states, the courts will do nothing to stop her. And paternity fraud remains legal.
The divorce system is designed to trap men in bad marriages with bad wives.
An increasing number of American men are now reaching the conclusion that being a husband is not worth it. The better deal is to remain single and have a series of relationships with different women while pursuing hobbies and life goals.
Additionally, a college educated single man can have a very good life.
What if everything were reversed. What if only a husband's perspective was important in marriage and cheating was only wrong for the wife. What if the family court system discriminated against wives?
Would American women want to become wives to the massive degree they do today?
Doubtful.
By nature, men and women are companions. By feminism, men and women are now adversaries.
Hofstra Rape Fraud
Similar to the Duke University Rape fraud, police immediately released the names of the accused men.
Similar to the Duke University Rape fraud, the media printed the names and faces of the accused men AND ASSUMED THEY WERE GUILTY.
Similar to the Duke University Rape fraud the accused men had to prove they were innocent otherwise they were going to jail.
The accused are supposed to be presumed innocent. But in a feminist society this doesn't happen. Guilt and rights are based on gender. Both the media and police pre-judged the men based on feminist stereotypes.
Also similar to Duke University, the media resisted printing the name of the fraudulent woman - even after evidence clearly showed she was a liar - and no criminal charges were filed against her.
In rape fraud, a jailed innocent man will suffer more than a woman who is raped one evening. For example, on a date rape, the woman will go thru perhaps several hours of hell with the raping jerk but then she can begin to recover her life both physically and mentally. The jailed innocent man will suffer all day and the next day, the next week, the next month and the next year. He will suffer the entire time he is in jail. The average jail time for rape is about 5 years. During this time, the innocent man will be raped by other prisoners and repeatedly beaten up. Jail is not a nice place - not for innocent people. Rape, assault and "click warfare" are fairly common. Only after his jail sentence is served, can the innocent man try to recover physically and mentally.
It is extremely rare for women who intentionally falsely accuse men of rape to be convicted of a crime. Yet one study, by Frank Zepezauer, concluded 25% of rape complaints were fraud. Another study by Eugene Kanin also concluded about a 25% fraud rate. Revenge for ending a relationship, covering up cheating or a desire for corporate advancement were the most common reasons cited by women for false claims of rape. However, the main reason was probably because these women knew nothing would happen to them. They had nothing to lose. If there was justice, they would have been jailed.
The District Attorney in the Hofstra case at least made some attempt to prevent the fraud from going unpunished. The DA made the woman agree to 250 hours of community service.
At the the very least,anyone guilty of rape fraud should be fined $2500, have a criminal record and (as long as the innocent person serves no jail time) sentenced to 250 hours of community service - the service activity to be decided by the county in which the fraud was committed. But even this extremely light sentence is not being issued in most rape fraud cases due to the fact many district attorney's are feminist lackeys. They follow the direction of institutions such as the Women's Law Center rather than the American Constitution.
The American judicial system - as well as our media - judges people on the basis of their gender not their actions.
Until feminism is defeated this kind of narrow minded ignorance will continue.
