Whenever there is writing about other groups and their struggles, I need to suppress the urge to declare that they should just suck it up and do better, e.g. Fat population? Individuals need to eat less. Gang violence? Hey maybe stop shooting each other for a fucking second. But I can't comment because they're not my struggles.

Finally they're talking about my group, so here goes: if you don't go to uni because of girls, you don't deserve to go to uni.

It seems a bit strange to frame it as a struggle. Like the article alludes to, men seek high social status. University no longer provides greater social status. So men have moved on to the next thing that will give them what they seek. They're not bothered by it. It is not like university is some kind of magical deity that will send you to the fiery pits of hell if you don't attend. It's just a tool, and if the tool isn't working it is no big deal to not use it.
