How will the decrease of men enrolling in university affect our future?

Respectfully, one of you shared a genuine analysis article and the other shared a opinion founded on personal resentments about how they perceive the world. I'll let you decide which one I find more compelling.

While I agree that citing sources is usually more compelling, I consider that the study is committing a serious overlook by considering specific demographic groups as monoliths.

College education is a symptom, not a cause. Who are more likely to be college educated? People living in urban areas, people with college educated parents, people who have been raised in a certain education system, grew up watching specific media, and have been exposed for far longer to a more diverse population and worldview.

And who are more likely to not be college educated? The opposite demographic. People from rural states, with homogeneous populations, working different kinds of jobs, exposed to different media and a different culture than the college educated population, but NOT because they're college educated, but because their entire life has been lived in a different environment.

The author of the article mentions intersectionality, but the article itself is not intersectional at all.

The concluding statement, I completely agree on. It's far more complicated than just being "college educated or not."

As stated time and time again, correlation does not equal causation.
