You're quoting to have a discussion or you quoting to use memes. If it's a discussion cool, meme not that kind of poster breh, I stop engaging in useless convos a long time ago.

Quoting because that shyt you just said was ridiculous.

Didn't read the thread but this goes way deeper than school! Also, it's not a uniquely American problem. Men in a lot of countries are just giving up on life in a massive way. Off the top of my head countries that I have lived in the same thing happening. America, Canada, China, Taiwan. It has to do with fathers not being around their sons. Have a private school in Asia, we started noticing only girls were in the top end of the classes, and we checked back with our stats and everyone was saying the same things. It's a massive problem. We dug in and read!

Two factors:

  1. Boys need a mission larger than themselves in life and have been told that masculinity is no longer needed which is somewhat true in the future. So fathers need to talk to their sons and make them understand there is a greater purpose.
  2. Fathers need to be around their sons as much as possible, simple talk at the table when eating with your son has lasting effects.
Two books highlight this we found.

The last book should be required reading for any parent that has a boy. This problem hasn't hit our community in full swing cause we have other problems but it's coming for young brothers and our future brothers for sure. The last book made us change ways in our schools and me change ways how I talk to my cousins and younger boys in my family.

Edit: if anyone wants a copy of the audiobook just link me in the pm on a mission to make everyone aware of this problem.
This is by design, to help collapse western societies in general and make a world with one power. There’s nothing systematically that would change this as a whole at this point in the game. Also the women are beyond repair on a whole as well, because men won’t get their act together for the kind of women that are available here. There’s no incentive, so they’re deciding to “watch the world implode”, but it’s all by design.

How is masculinity not gonna be needed? Retort it, Nah bruh you need to substantiate that.

First, you quoted me wrong I said somewhat, didn't say it isn't needed.

Second, a man's definition comes from being able to provide. Look at farmers, how many men you know are farmers. They got replaced in a few generations. The world is changing, correction has changed if that masculine energy isn't pointed in the right direction boys will feel they have no purpose and drop out of life period! Things deemed not masculine school, so that definition of masculinity isn't needed anymore.

A mans definition is to protect and provide, not just provide.

He didn’t say masculinity no longer being needed was a good or bad, just a possibility... and I agree with him about telling young brothers that they will need a greater purpose outside of themselves..... I understand why you used the :dwillhuh: expression though... but I think I understand where he is coming from

So according to the article, colleges are almost 60% female. They're presumed to join the work force in some capacity after they graduate. Let's see what percentage of females remain in the work force after having children. Some women stay home with their children and won't return to work until they're in school and some won't return at all.

Anyway, college isn't for everyone. I know of trade workers making 300k a year consistently and they don't own the companies they work for. Outside of a college graduate owning their own company or getting hooked up by family/friend, I can't think of any job in the U.S. that will pay a new college grad 300k a year and all they have is a degree.

None. If i didnt have my job know id def pick up a trade easily. Work for myself and make bank.

More propaganda to widen the wealth gap :mjlol:

“Don’t go to college. Go work for the guy who did go to college for the rest of your life and be happy”

Don’t fall for the okey doke. A college degree is still the key to living above average in America. Even if you get a BS degree you can become a public school teacher and retire making 6 figures if you know what you’re doing.

College has never been made for everyone but neither are trades or service jobs.

Probably one of the more important pieces I've read recently. Finally had a publication willing to talk about an ugly truth that no one wants to put their hands on because it would peel back layers that destroy narratives. Colleges had been trending this way for some time. When I was in University, the male to female ratio had been 1:1 and by the time I graduated women had overtaken men in terms of total numbers. Is this an intended consequence of Title IX?
No it’s just that degree that’s require more hands components like engineering and tech have at least double the amount of men as compared to women.
