[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]Not when controlling for career choice, work hours, and experience.[/quote]
