The difference between a function and college is that a college education will actually benefit you, in a major way. It is undeniable that a degree increases your income by a substantial amount, which, taken over the course of 40 or 50 years, becomes a very large difference in total money earned.
I went to college to get a degree. Everything else is trivial. Do the work, get the grade, and get on with your life. If I have to write papers the way the professor wants them to be written, rather than written to reflect what I really think, I'll do it if it gets me a better grade. I'm not going to protest if it's going to cost me points. I'm not going to voice my opinion if it isn't what my professor wants to hear. I'm there to get a good grade, and I am not going to do anything to jeapordize that.
Similarly, if you want a degree bad enough, no amount of anti-male sentiment is going to stop you. I will admit at this point that haveing never experienced such sentiments myself, it is easy to say this. But it appears to me to be a weak excuse nonetheless. I can imagine being the target of what is described in the article, and quite frankly, I wouldn't be bothered if I was called a rapist every day of my life by every girl I passed, so long as I was never actually arrested or detained for the accusation.
