You have mentioned a handful of dates and events in U.S. sociopolitical history but cited no data to link them to the observed trends in post-secondary institutional attendance. The “post hoc ergo propter hoc” fallacy, basically. I would love to understand this shift in post-secondary education but “It’s Obama and #MeToo,” seems reductionist at best.

And, looking at the provided graph, the precipitous phase of the decline in male attendance began in 2017; Obama was not the U.S. president at that time.
