Aren't you glad feminism liberated us from all of those gender-based stereotypes?  And the profound negative influence of fatherhood, after 30 years of divorce liberalization and single-parenthood?  It isn't nice to try to invoke my masculine nature.  I might do something toxic.  

It's not merely fear.  It's just not usually a winning strategy, and it gets worse for men every year.  My kid will do better staying out and studying something like 3D printing technology and entrepreneurship.  Sure, he won't be a simpering well-educated barista, but he'll also avoid the debt and learn to pile up money without relying on a corporation for his living.  He's got his whole life ahead of him.  Why mortgage the best third of it for the privilege of regretting what he did with it?
