From economist Mark Perry (emphasis mine):
Based on Department of Education estimates, women will earn a disproportionate share of college degrees at every level of higher education in 2016 for the eleventh straight year. Overall, women in the Class of 2016 will earn 139 college degrees at all levels for every 100 men, and there will be a 610,000 college degree gap in favor of women for this year’s college graduates (2.195 million total degrees for women vs. 1.585 million total degrees for men). By level of degree, women will earn: a) 154 associate’s degrees for every 100 men (female majority in every year since 1978), b) 135 bachelor’s degrees for every 100 men (female majority since 1982), 139 master’s degrees for every 100 men (female majority since 1987) and 106 doctoral degrees for every 100 men (female majority since 2006). . . .
Now that there’s a huge (and growing) college degree gap in favor of women such that men have become the “second sex” in higher education, maybe it’s time to stop taxpayer funding of hundreds of women’s centers that promote a goal of gender equity that was achieved more than thirty years ago in higher education, at least in terms of earning college degrees? And perhaps the selective concern about gender imbalances in higher education should be expanded to include greater concern about the new “second sex.”
But is it misogynist to call for equal numbers for “Mens Centers”? Yet if you listen to the media and the harpies on campus in said Womyns’ Centers, you’d a think that females are still far behind males in achievement. However, given the bogus 1 in 5 argument (and that silly “man in underwear” statue that gave many on an all women campus “the vapors” and all the “triggering”, I guess they think that the past is the current for all these Precious Snowflake fragile nothings. Yet the stats don’t lie and it is clear that women now have the upper hand on compus. Add in the absolute destruction of due process for guys on campus, what male wants to go there? What PARENT wants their son to go there?
However, if this continues, it will be like China’s one-baby policy – there will be repercussions that will ripple through society with a lot of “unknown unknowns”. We’ve watched for decades as the Feminist harpies and the media rip apart the status and role of men in families and society; throw that into the mix and the Militant Feminazis may get their wish. That is, until the hardcore Islamists start showing up (hey, just look at the “Vice” cops in Saudi Arabia).
And just because this is ‘Merica doesn’t mean it can’t happen here – it can.
