there was some news story about despair for young men who aren’t going to college and working and stuff, while young women are increasing year over year in all these regards.

Some men’s studies think tank dick was like “we need to pay attention to these young men and find ways to help them” and all the young women they interviewed were like “Women were ignored for most of history. I don’t see why I have to care about boys that can’t get their poo poo together”.

I also love how the dude is like “I can’t pay my bills!” - yea well then sell it at a loss fucker and realize you’re dumb as poo poo.

im proposing a one time $60000 tax credit for every man in america to get behind the wheel of a brand new ford f150 raptor. lets get our boys back on solid financial ground

If you can make a product cheaper, you shouldn't lower the price. Instead you should pocket the additional profit. Otherwise people might consume less. I'm an economist :downs:

IME these kinds of people quickly start huffing their own farts so much that they can terminally no longer tell the difference between working and pretending to work. Many such cases!

When your job is entirely bullshit and involves little or no actual work, you quickly reach a point where you legitimately cannot tell the difference between working and doing nothing.

I went on a date with a guy who was bragging about how much of a thought leader he was on LinkedIn. I showed up to his apartment and he was still working at 9pm on a Friday. Out of curiosity I looked up his LinkedIn and this guy is pulling max 10 likes on his essays about "The Future of Brand Engagement", and had to ghost him after he sent me 7 Macklemore songs in a row. Anyone who calls themselves a "thought leader" is loving insane.

You showed up at his apartment after you knew that he was a "thought leader on linkedin?" That could have turned out worse imo

The funny part to me is everyone surprised at an 87k truck, big trucks have been targeting the premium consumer for a while so even when you work in industries where it's a thing you reasonably need they're outrageously expensive. You can p easily hit 6 figs on the premium vanity packeges but even the more utilitarian stuff is ridiculously expensive.

So is the gist of that graph that women will soon not just dominate the "women's work" educated professions, but pretty much all of them?

In a culture where men earning more and having most prestigious careers is still important in dating/marriage "markets"? We're going to create so many hikikomori jfc.

seems more productive to destigmatize househusbandry than to prevent women from earning degrees

A few years ago one of the car mags looked at work trucks, actual base V6 vinyl interior work trucks, and noted they were all over $40k and manufacturers even overshot the stated price target of $42k: https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/ford-f-150-xl-vs-ram-1500-tradesman-vs-chevrolet-silverado-1500-wt-comparison-review/

That was 5 years ago, I'm sure that a base vinyl seat work truck is $50k now.

Maybe help boys get through school instead of berating them for not sitting still and being quiet?

I realize that education is increasingly training for work, which is why those traits came to be prized in the first place, but it's creating some sort of feedback loop where in both school and professional careers Bryn Mawr girls who chew ice cubes and do homework like their lives depended on it get ahead by every metric while still feeling aggrieved.

A striver professional like that is typically not going to marry a guy who makes less, let alone one who didn't get through school and doesn't have a job with some professional cache, so who are we setting up for success here?
