It is quite surprising.

Men get paid higher than women because of sexism. Men hold more leadership positions because of sexism. Men basically invented the overwhelming majority of cities, science, mathematics, technology and modern civilization as we know it and the only reason why women didn’t really invent any of this is because of rampant oppression by the patriarchy.

So why aren’t we applying the same logic to this? Rampant suppression of male success in college by the matriarchy is the only logical reason why women outperform men because men and women are fundamentally equal.

All of this is delusional of course but it’s a touchy subject. The touchiness literally blinds everyone from some completely obvious differences in male and female psychology. Even your reasoning, though more legitimate than the feminists who blame everything on the patriarchy, is missing something rather obvious.

Men have basically invented modern civilization as we know it and this includes basically every technical field that women are outperforming men at in college and we know it is ludicrous to say that what’s happening is because of sexism.

But if men invented all of it, why are women outperforming men? That’s the nuance that needs to be answered here. It’s not solely just intelligence. Wokeism prevents you from reasoning from the dark side, to be able to see the fundamental fact that men are the creators of tech, science and civilization.

You have to be able to admit that women are outperforming men in college but you also have to admit that men invented civilization as we know it; and you have to admit that neither fact is because of some ludicrous oppression scheme by one sex onto the other. And once you see this then you can start talking about the nuances.

Case in point: if you look at engineering degrees you will see something different. That nuance is evidence inline with a reality that we aren’t ready to face.

>So why aren’t we applying the same logic to this?

because you're going up a whole waterfall to convince anyone we live in a matriarchy. Teachers are majority female because sexism as well, on both sides (nothing gets more of a sideeye from judgy peers than being a male and saying you work with kids). and loads of DEI programs have focused on helping female student succeed. So I'm not surprised that can tilt the scales in an environment that already benefitted feminine disposition (a quiet, orderly environment that you need to sit calmly at and listen for an hour or 2).

Well if you want an inconvenient truth: men in general care a lot less about men than women about women. That's part of why that whole "sigma male grindset" and divisions within men of "alphas and betas" was able to work so easily. Men see men as competition, and there's no easier way to get blind acceptance than to pick a target and tell them that they are the reason you are miserable.

All that happens and we suddenly wonder why men are undergoing a loneliness epidemic and why its not uncommon to not hear from friends for weeks, months on end and treat that as normalcy.
