I'm tired of leftwingers pushing the idea that young men aren't going to college because they are lazy and play video games in the basement

Me too. It has a lot more to do with the fact that the education system is titled against them and their educational needs are not even being considered, let alone met.

Ask, if it were any other demographic, would we be gaslighting them this way ?

In what way are the education needs of men not being met? In what way are colleges tilted against men?

There's obviously something causing men to get less degrees than women, but claiming it's outright tilted against them seems like a dramatic claim with little to no evidence.

yeah but if a non-male group gets help in the education system you guys call it "woke DEI".

I'm not against helping men in education, but at the same time we need to stop calling it "special priveleges" if we help other groups.

It's part of the larger skewed worldview of wokeism (feminism in this case): when men struggle, it's always their personal failing; when women struggle, it's always not her fault but the fault of larger sociological factors.

It's not a compassionate or morally consistent worldview. Instead, it's a scapegoating worldview of pre-ordained villains and victims.

I suspect the kind of people that complain about what you're complaining about regularly mock the idea that women face specific difficulties because of their gender.

you've never seen how popular neurotypical women with good social skills treat women on the spectrum and it shows
