Are universities doomed?

Article here. Excerpt:

'Nationwide undergraduate enrollment has dropped by more than 650,000 students in a single year - or over 4 percent alone from spring 2021 to 2022, and some 14% in the last decade. Yet the U.S. population still increases by about 2 million people a year.

Men account for about 71% of the current shortfall of students. Women number almost 60% of all college students - an all-time high.

Monotonous professors hector students about "toxic masculinity," as "gender" studies proliferate. If the plan was to drive males off campus, universities have succeeded beyond their wildest expectations.

Stanford's published 2025 class profile claims a student body of "23% white." Fewer than half of the class is male. Stanford mysteriously does not release the numbers of those successfully admitted without SAT tests - but recently conceded it rejects about 70% of those with perfect SAT scores.'

Dartmouth $100,000,000 STEM program appears to exclude white men

Article here. Excerpt:

'Dartmouth College’s planned $100 million program to help “historically underrepresented groups in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics,” is moving forward, aided by a recent gift that will cover one-fourth of the cost.

However, white male students appear to be excluded from the program, raising legal concerns. Groups included in the STEM-X initiative, according to Dartmouth, include “Black, Latinx, and Native Americans,” as well as “women.”

Several experts on Title IX sex discrimination and Title VI race discrimination law are concerned about the legality of the program, according to comments they made to The College Fix.

He said that Dartmouth is promoting a “false narrative” that women are underrepresented in STEM and noted “that women are overrepresented in many STEM fields including biology, health sciences, medical schools, and veterinary medicine.”'

The Rise Of Misandry To Promote Gynocentric Agenda

Article here. Excerpt:

'Human beings are created with inadequacies. Men tend to be physically stronger than women and can cope with the stressors of life more than women. Women, on the other hand, are meant to be more compassionate than men. They can better take care of the responsibilities of others without being stressed. That is why they tend to play a more significant role in the upbringing of children.
...
But unfortunately, the moral justification of this ideology puts men at a disadvantage. They consistently receive backlash as a predicament of these struggles. Those ardent advocates always consider men as oppressors, narcissists, egoists and self-centered, which causes all the misfortunes in women’s lives. This makes women that are adamant about this ideology highly androgynous.

Women-only: This Texas resale marketplace hopes to make selling safe

Article here. Excerpt:

'Allhers, an online platform based in Austin, Texas, says it’s devoted to providing women a safe place to buy and re-sell products — by eliminating men from the equation.

Becca Butler, one of the founders of Allhers, said she frequently moved around from childhood into adulthood. When she moved from Los Angeles to Austin, she joined a women-only discussion group and decided to list some furniture she was selling.

“It sold immediately,” she said.

Further, her experience selling in this group was much more pleasant than in previous instances where she sold her stuff on other platforms, such as Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace.

“Everyone Venmoed me ahead of time…No one was haggling or lowballing me,” she said. “Conversations were really friendly, and it just felt a lot more fun. I wasn’t worried about strangers coming over to pick up this furniture because they’d already been vetted to be in the group.”

Profs fear engineering exam may be ‘biased’ against women

Article here. Excerpt:

'Two Kansas State University professors have discovered that women in engineering are 11.6 percent less likely to pass the field’s professional license exam, which they suggest may partly be due to “biases in the exam itself.”

To obtain a license, engineers must pass the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam after four years of field experience. Taken by a few thousand people each year, the eight-hour exam is typically considered the “gateway” to a long-term engineering career.

But a new study casts concern over whether the exam is fair for female engineers. Led by Julia Keen and Anna Salvatorelli, the study finds that women taking the exam nationally are 11.6 percent less likely to pass, and that the disparity is even worse in certain states.
...
Lead author Julia Keen says she was motivated to investigate after earning her PhD in Engineering and seeing many of her peers leave the field.

Avatar 2 Is White Man's Fantasy of Indigenous Resistance

Article here. Excerpt:

'If you want to see a white man’s version of an Indigenous futurism film, however, then the local multiplex showing Avatar: The Way of Water is the way to go.

That said, the plot of what some call Avatar 2 is simple enough: the earth is dying, humans need resources, and this requires a complete takeover of the planet Pandora, which also requires the “taming” of the Indigenous inhabitants, the Na’vi.'

Profs: 'white male privilege' to blame for STEM gender gap

Article here. Excerpt:

'Two Seattle Pacific University professors contend that “white male privilege” is the primary reason that few women choose to study physics in college.

Rachel Scherr and Amy Robertson, both physics professors at Seattle Pacific, argue in the October issue of Race and Physics Teaching that physics instruction is currently unfair to women because “white male privilege pervades the discipline of physics as well as the classrooms in which physics is taught and learned.”

“Physics strongly values male-socialized traits such as independence, competition, and individual victories,” they write, adding that “objectivity and rationality themselves, the foundations of scientific ideology, are also male-socialized traits.”

The authors also assert that science has been used as a tool of racial oppression and colonization, which further hurts minorities in STEM and physics classrooms.'

Over 100k Russian men killed in war

Article here. If it were 100k women, it would have been stopped long ago. Male disposability is one of many issues around equality that feminism ignores. Excerpt:

'VLADIMIR Putin has the blood of 100,000 Russian soldiers on his hands as the grim milestone was reached today 10 months after Russia's doomed invasion.

But experts have said that Mad Vlad will be happy to send one million Russians to the slaughter in his desperate bid to achieve victory in Ukraine.

Ukrainian officials have been keeping a close tally on the war's death toll - and today claimed Putin has a grand total of 100,400 men.

With the war reaching day 302, that means Vlad has lost an average of 332 soldiers a day since February.

It is a military failure of incredible scale, with poorly trained and poorly equipped soldiers being sent to their deaths in muddy trenches.

Putin's military death toll is already more than six times higher than the Soviets lost in Afghanistan, and 20 times higher than US casualties in Iraq.'

So much for equality: Men are less likely to become elementary teachers or nurses because of gender bias, report finds

Article here. Excerpt:

'Gender discrimination is preventing men from becoming elementary teachers and nurses, experts warn.

They say that while women's struggle to get into science, tech and engineering roles has been well-publicized, professional discrimination against males has not.

Biases against men in early education and healthcare are thought to be linked to a perception that women are more caring and less dangerous.

Two new studies published by the American Psychological Association today sought to gauge the impact of those stereotypes.'

Chris Murphy introduces bill to strengthen Title IX, promote gender equity in sports

'U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy introduced legislation on Tuesday that aims to promote gender equity in college and K-12 sports

The bill, known as "Fair Play for Women Act," is focused on fairness and equity in participation opportunities and institutional support for women's and girls' sports programs to ensure transparency and public reporting of data by college and K-12 athletic programs.

It would also hold athletic programs and associations more accountable for Title IX violations and discriminatory treatment, and improve education of Title IX rights among athletes, staff, and stakeholders.
