Amazing how many people are criticizing him and ignoring the clear, logical case he made for his decision.
It's not like he said he is stopping his daughter's education in the 8th grade then sending her to live in a madrassa. Last I checked, sending a girl to a state university isn't exactly child neglect.
He's just choosing to allocate his time and money to the child that stands to gain more from his investment. He knows that his daughter, being attractive, has much more to gain in life simply by marrying a quality man and becoming a mother rather than by falling for the bullshit feminist imperative of chasing the fancy degree/high paying job in the big city. We all know how that story ends for too many women. This guy doesn't want his daughter to be one of them.
And we also know how tough it is to set yourself apart as a man. Like he said, no one but your family is going to do you any favors. Anything you get in this life as a man will be because you fought for it. Encouraging his son to develop a successful, motivated attitude and helping him to get a headstart in life is the best thing a father can do for his son.
The ROI a father can get from sending his son fully prepared to enter the adult world at his maximum potential dwarfs what he would get from doing the same with his daughter. This is doubly so if the daughter is good-looking. With a pretty daughter, your parenting strategy should be similar to what we call "fuckup avoidance game": give her a good education, but make sure it doesn't come at the expense of her femininity and exposing her to bad influences (i.e. pierced, tattooed, feminist freaks at a "good" university). Then make sure she knows how to tell the difference between real alphas and bad boy players. The rest will take care of itself.
High value women are born, but high value men must be made.
