Here’s Why This Man Says He Won't Let His Future Daughters Attend College

Nick thought he had a simple answer to a big future question, and it set off a wave of backlash online. His take on college, marriage, and what daughters should do after high school landed badly with plenty of people who saw it as controlling and outdated.

In the tweet, he argued that college is not the right place for women who want to get married, saying the environment is all about drinking, bad food, and hookups. He also said that if he ever had daughters, they would live with him until marriage instead of going to college.

That was enough to spark a messy Twitter pile-on, and the replies did not hold back.

1. This user, Aubry, brought our attention to Nick's controversial tweet about how the college environment affects young females

His tweet didn't go down well with many users. In no time, hundreds of comments poured in to debunk what many believe to be a grossly ignorant opinion.

People were quick to point out that college life is not nearly as simple as he made it sound.

3. An important point to consider

He probably didn’t look at it from all angles.

4. "Anyone who says the lifestyle (college) is sedentary has never had to walk between buildings that were blocks apart"

That reply hit a nerve with plenty of readers.

5. A nice setup

What more could anyone need?

6. We completely agree — such an opinion is certainly cringe-worthy

7. The effect of college movies from the 80s

Stop watching them, Nick.

8. Hmmm... Is this really what he was trying to say?

@TheGingerBeard

9. In other words...

Who is going to tell Nick that his actions could negatively impact his future daughters, especially in their decision-making?

@jmwaib

Some users clearly thought his logic was doing too much.

10. Let's just say, with such a mindset, he shouldn't bother having kids

11. Prayer works, and we believe this one will be answered

@jjenal

12. With a tweet like that, the chances aren’t looking too good.

@roberthp

We’d say more to Nick about his super-controlling tweet, but it seems these Twitter users have done justice to that.

We can only hope he takes away from this experience and re-educates himself on what he should and should not do as a parent. Depriving your child of the college experience is certainly the latter part. 

If you could reply to Nick in one sentence, what would you say? Tell us in the comment section!

Nick's tweet did not age well.
