It will be interesting to watch UVA Arts & Sciences, WM, IVpvys etc become gender blind in admissions and hit 70% women. Because race, national origin, gender and religion are the big protected classes. It’s hard to imagine prohibiting consideration of race but allowing gender consideration.

It’s interesting to watch as women become more educated than men and less dependent on them. There is a society wide shift underway that is creating the Incels and MAGAs, who are pushing to legally restrict women. This decision will make womens power and mens resentment explode.


It will be interesting to watch all these college educated women start crying they can’t find a husband. Don’t expect men to GAF though.


Men at the bottom rung won’t find matches either. You can see what’s happening in China. Women at the top and men at the bottom will be unpartnered. I don’t see it as a bad thing. We need less people on Earth.


Yes but nobody cares about bottom-rung men, least of all college educated women, and such men are well aware nobody cares about them. Meanwhile the college girls will be wailing and crying and their sadz will be grist for NYT stories.

As I mentioned. No one is guaranteed a partner, life isn’t fair. In general in history there has always been a surplus of women over men. This issue used to be solved with higher status men having concubines or multiple wives. I am not fazed by this because this is just part of human history and with economic power comes other options than having to partner with a man.

If women don’t need men for economic support and can have children without a romantic partner, why are they crying?


LOL you can pretend educated professional women don’t want a suitable husband (meaning, education and salary at least equal to theirs and preferably much superior) but the reality is that they do, and they’ll be big mad when they can’t find one.

No they can build fulfilling lives in other ways being single women with jobs and friends and family and hobbies and in general try to figure out what a good life is, while being clear eyed that that good life may not include a man.

And I am saying this as a mother of two girls. And if their life dream is to be with an educated men, the competition for those has always been fierce. Act accordingly according to the rules of the dating market place, whatever it is.

Depending on what the Supreme Court says, one of the biggest changes will be elimination of any sort of “Women in STEM” outreach programs, preferences, or scholarships.

Be careful what you (ignorantly) wish for.


Then the same would go for the preference boys currently get for anything other than engineering and cs.


Neither has to happen as gender/sex aren’t subject to strict scrutiny like race is. That’s intermediate scrutiny, if memory serves.


Ask VMI how this is going to go.


Well, first you are going to have to define how you define gender. How do you factor in the non binary applicants, or the trans applicant?



Race is even a more anti-scientific concept; I wonder why Asian Americans with dark skin don't simply mark Black in their applications.


It worked for Mindy Kaling's brother.

Fascinating read, I had no idea

Nope. Because they are educated, they have options besides sex work to support themselves.

I actually don’t have a moral problem with it. Doesn’t mean I want my child to earn a living that way. Even assuming there isn’t a pimp involved, its dangerous, it exposures you to violence and disease, drug use is common. You expose yourself to arrest. You may not have control over your John’s and many women find letting people you are not attracted to use their body to be demeaning. Plus, your value on the job market goes down as you age, not up. If you don’t make enough to retire at 35, what’s next?

Good. As it should be. Get rid of all the hooks.
Although, you are incorrect, EA/ED won't be treated the same way as legacy, athletics, etc... Not analogous, and I despise ED
EA is open to all No issues there

I still don’t see how colleges won’t be able to still keep doing it with.holistic admissions . The whole process is such a random crapshoot anyway,


Good. These are institutions of higher learning. Focus on that. Nothing else. Look at what most other countires do. Our system is so corrupted by $$
