I am against radical anything. I don't know that we have a boy emergency going on, however.
I am against radical anything too. Brookings does call it a crisis.

And your wife is suggesting that I am an incel and a white supremacist. She clearly needs to see a therapist.

Yep.
But that's off-topic, Marcus is at it again to link me to extremists.
Says the guy trying to link social issues to his problems with social constraints to disguise his predatory behavior and thinking.

It's not my fault you follow radical feminist pseudoscience. There's nothing wrong with me and I don't have serious problems.

By the way, you reminded me of a new study I read.

Only if you cherry-pick the things I say.

DT, we’re 10 pages into this thread, now, and the only thing you’ve offered as a reason for the decline of male attendance and completion of post-secondary school education is that there are ‘more women’s scholarships’.

Are there any other possible factors?

My wife? What are you talking about? My wife does not post here. Look, I have no idea why you are being called an incel and a white supremacist, partly because I am not following these threads all that closely. Obviously, I am not as concerned about this alleged crisis as you are, but you don't need to extend your incivility to me.

So, you have no idea what percentage of the total available grant and scholarship money is reserved for women only. Check.

Is the gap between back women and black men smaller or larger than the gap between whites women and whites men? Same question with Hispanic folks.

What? You’ve never heard of single mothers?
You tell me. How many available scholarships are exclusively for women only and how many are exclusively for men?

Yes, but I doubt single mothers get most of the scholarships for women only.

And Marcus is trying to link me with white supremacists, why are you allowing that?
You're the one who's claiming it's a "crisis." Given the billions of dollars in grants and scholarships available, I think that the percentage of that figure that these scholarships represent is an important consideration in figuring out whether this is a "crisis" or just another of the manufactured outrage issues we've seen so much of lately.

Upthread, you linked me to an article about a study. Did you read the study? Was it published? Peer reviewed? Who conducted it? Why did they simply count the number of scholarships rather than telling you the total dollar value? Who are the people that did the study? Do they have an agenda?

I haven't moderated Marcus's post because it does not violate any rules.

Is that in the same fields? One of the reasons I think non-degreed men earn more than non-degreed women is because they go into higher risk jobs (read: dirty jobs) that pay more than low risk jobs. I dunno, it’s been a while since I paid attention to this issue because there are so many people playing around with datapoints that skew the results into an ideological framework I lost interest.
Notice how I shared a paper, but Marcus shared salon. :lol: The paper talks about how overtime hours explain much of the gender wage gap.

The only thing that unfairly affects women's wages is the motherhood penalty, but men tend to be household providers and are more likely than women to pay child support.
I posted an interview with the authors of a book:
...a new scholarly book, "Male Supremacism in the United States: From Patriarchal Traditionalism to Misogynist Incels and the Alt-Right," released this month as part of a Routledge series on fascism and the far right. The book, a collection of essays and studies from 14 academics and researchers, was edited by Emily Carian, Alex DiBranco and Chelsea Ebin.

All three are among the cofounders of the Institute for Research on Male Supremacism, a first-of-its-kind center launched in 2019 to address a gap in scholarship on how organized misogyny serves as a vital cornerstone of right-wing activism.
Your style of topics and your anti-feminist opinions mirror quite well the topics, anti-feminist opinions, and strategies of presentation documented in this book. It is as though you are getting your information directly and specifically from the online manosphere groups that follow this pattern of hatred and are discussed by these authors. :roll: You are far more obvious in your choice of topics than you realize.

I like your cherry-picked skepticism. Where is your skepticism towards the 82 cents for every dollar or towards many of the things that Marcus and radical feminists love to point out?

I don't have the exact numbers, I doubt companies would admit that the majority of gender-exclusive scholarships are for women.

However, we know for sure that there are more scholarships exclusively for women than for men. Read the Forbes article and use some common sense.

But that's a subjective opinion. The only fact is that special rules only apply to me. :lol: It's sad that the Washington Post article about mental health was thrown into the trash can.
