Lots of men still opt for trades. In many cases, all the training is provided on the job. Many trade jobs pay the same as professional level jobs. But the work is often physically demanding.
Lots of men today are also losers who contribute little to nothing to society. Sending them to college will not improve their situation. It would also be a waste of scare resources which would be better utilized on people with greater potential.
It's nice to see more women going to college, but I hope they are not being scammed. Prices for education today are quite high, and you never know what the future holds. There is nothing fun about being a debt serf, in any economic cycle. We're also seeing jobs threatened by technology, automation, and so forth. These factors are impacting white collar workers just as much as blue collar workers today.
Sounds like my kinda college!!! Let's just say that I fully enjoyed the almost absurd women to men ratio in college! Especially over in the liberal arts programs!

The men who are losers aren't going to college. The men who go to college aren't losers.
For either sex, graduating takes a lot of hard work. College prepares graduates to do hard work after graduation.
Some men, however, do enter the trades after graduation; it's a good way to climb the ladder to a management position later on.
White collar workers have different career threats than the blue collar workers.
Job insecurity comes along from different causes and different times. The cubicle guys are usually working in advance of the production guys on the floor, so layoffs can hit them first in a slowdown, but they may also come back earlier when things pick up.
The guys on the production floor can stay on the job when management is trimmed, but they can lose their job when production is streamlined.
A big advantage to a college education now is it helps a man find another job. One degree can qualify a person for many different jobs, but a blue collar job is much more specific to one kind of job alone.
A chemist, for example, can go to work for a company that makes house paint, or a company that makes plastics. The workers on the factory floors in a paint company don't know how to make plastics.
Right now, there is a skilled labor shortage that has existed for some time. Many colleges recognized that need, and as part of a degree, now teach students manufacturing skills alongside drafting skills. This allows a graduate to find a job that best fits his nature but allows much more flexibility as well.

Same can be said for women that just want to get knocked up and have babies and just stay at home all day. They are losers too

Really. So what do you suggest? Should the government start handing out suicide kits for loser men? How shall we identify a loser versus someone temporarily down on the luck? 121 people in America commit suicide every day. 90 are men and mostly in the 45-65 age. I'm sure we can absorb a nice uptick in male suicides. Maybe the state should just order all loser men to be aborted before birth, saving society some of those scarce resources. I'm sure Planned Parenthood has some ideas.
