[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a real problem without an easy solution, and the gender imbalance is going to cause a lot of consequences through young women’s lives. But in the short term, colleges need to find ways to shrink the gam. Even if it means admitting boys with lower grades and qualifications and offering generous financial aid. [/quote]

So you are suggesting preferential admissions and financial support for young men, even though men have historically had greater academic and economic opportunity than women, in the name of achieving gender balance?  Seriously?[/quote]Last I checked, today's men haven't inherited those advantages. If they did, the ratio wouldn't be what it is.

Just because the temperature used to be too hot doesn't mean you should keep the AC on even when it gets too cold.[/quote]

Except men are still earning far more despite earning less education.[/quote]
That should be equalized obviously 
But has nothing to do with the topic of gender imbalance on college campuses [/quote]

I am a physician, most have mommy tracked themselves-therefore make less money, it was a choice[/quote]

Studies control for all sorts of things--years off, hours worked, education level everything people can think of and a gender pay gap persists.[/quote]

I am a female physician and actually raised the hourly pay not just for me but for my male colleague (because actually I don't like to keep things hush) because I had the spunk to ask, many  female physicians I know (from Ivy schools) believe it is too primitive to ask for money because you know "we do this because its the morally right thing to do-help people" so there is a lot of that...they would rather be liked than have money.[/quote]
