kshade@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoIt’s a thing kids say, “girls go to college to get more knowledge, boys go to Jupiter, to get more stupider”.

What does that… mean? Is it a jab about college attendance demographics skewing towards women?

Kids don’t know about college demographics. It’s a dumb thing kids say to tease each other. Like 7 year old kids. It just means boys are stupid.

The thought of elementary school girls clowning on boys by pointing out college attendance demographics is precious though.

From what I remember, the taunt predates women overtaking men in college completion (which happened in approximately 1995). It’s pretty old at this point.

…or vice versa, usually depending on the taunter’s gender.
Also, see xkcd 1202 and 2771
