The value proposition of men going to college is gone.
Women aren't having as much of an issue getting a job after graduating.
Girl power via HR I guess.

Is that driven by tech layoffs?
The recent federal layoffs are going to make a similar spike in the women's graph.
I don't think so, at least not exclusively.
"About 58% of recent Gen Z graduates are still looking for full-time work, compared to 25% of earlier graduates, like millennials, Gen Xers, and baby boomers before them, per FORTUNE."
I think it's funny how only computer engineering is listed. It would be interesting to see the same statistics for mechanical engineers, chemical engineers, aerospace engineers, general engineers, etc.
These are the majors with the highest unemployment rates. Those other engineers are getting jobs straight out of college.
In an automated world, we simply don't need 100% employment at 40 hrs per week. Economists predicted this a century ago, but its still not recognized because no one knows what they're looking at, because fiat incentives force us to work or die. Employers don't need us, so of course they choose nice subservient women instead of men.
We won't need this many people, and only fiat systems can sustain populations of this size without some greater reform.
I speculated without a welfare state a decent chunk of the population would cease to exist, because they cannot function on their own two feet.
Without welfare and without fiat, they'd learn and life would be okay for them
From an old post:
Women are now significantly more likely than men to graduate from high school and college. Single women are 40% more likely to own a home than are single men. And for the first time in history, childless women under 30 are outearning men in the same demographic in many urban centers.
It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I suspect most men couldn't care less how well paid their potential partner is, as opposed to being a good, faithful homemaker first and foremost.
In another decade we'll probably see an even bigger increase in 40 year old women crying about being unable to find a man, even though they have a great job and a house.
It’s possible but I think more likely with AI and bitcoin, the nature of dating and relationships will change.
So many directions it can go...
In the future more people will become aware of masculine and feminine energy and balancing and harmonizing those energies and it’ll help men and women realize their better together than apart…in a complementary way, not an unbalanced power way like it’s been in the past.
A return to order of ages past, it's only a matter of time.
I think there’s a real possibility that our views on what relationships should look like will completely change. Imagine a dating app powered by AI. People can integrate their chat gpt history with the dating app that’ll optimize and find the best partner based on all that data.
