Men can do better financially and have more options outside of college than women. Given the high cost of college these days, my older son - now a sophmore - is considering work and apprenticeship programs instead. Why not get started earning money right out of high school if you can, rather than end up owing tens- or even hundreds of thousands in debt? A friend of ours has his son enrolled in a plumbing program.
US universities and colleges saw 1.5 million fewer students compared to five years ago, with men decreasing by 71 percent.
While there were 200,000 fewer women students between 2021 and 2020, statistics show that the number of men students has in particular drastically dropped, with 400,000 fewer men students recorded in 2021 compared to a year earlier.

^^^ That is the better path for young men who are inclined to save and invest their money. Spendthrifts would be worse off taking that path.
What are you gonna do? Forcibly prevent women from going to college? lol. The hell is that all about?
Both parents can be breadwinners, double income family,..
Daycare is already expensive, where you been?
Academia obsessed? America?
No, but one solution is to stop giving women affirmative action status to where they will be admitted over more qualified men, based solely on their gender.
How long must they wait, until women are 90% to 10% men before they take away the set aside quotas.
Trades- 90%-94% male
Law Enforcement- 87% male
Fire Fighters 83-87 percent male
Military-85%-86%
Men do different things. I am not saying one path is better or worse...there are some really legit fields like medicine, where women are really starting to dominate. But those tradesmen sure don't graduate with $100,000 debt for a philosophy degree, either, so let's let people chose their own career paths and not worry so much about it.
The irony is that college is becoming a worse and worse investment so women are getting a higher disproportionate amount of student loan debts to pay back.
