In reply to the discussion: Why the Men's Rights Movement Is Garbage [View all]thucythucy
(9,103 posts)a couple of months back, wherein I pointed out there has been no substantial decline in the numbers of men and boys graduating high school and entering college, according to the very sources to which you directed me. This quote of the president you keep harping on is a celebration that opportunities have opened up for girls and women. Yes, women now outnumber men on college campuses, but this is NOT because men have fewer opportunities, but because campuses, after centuries of misogynist discrimination, are finally seeing some gender equality.
You never disputed the figures I presented, never really tried to argue the point. As I stated then, this progress on the part of women is a problem ONLY if you see ANY gains by women as being by definition a loss for men. Whereas, in fact, both genders have gained overall. So it's not, as you are implying here, zero sum at all.
Yet here you are, again, making the same tired point about something President Obama said that you are determined to construe as evidence of some vast anti-male bias.
It's very disappointing, and makes me wonder what point there is to engaging you in discussion at all, when you continue to return to the same tired talking point regardless of previous discussion.
