[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe the boys are flocking to Duke, Vandy, Notre Dame, and of course the SEC schools. Probably not attracted to the bullhorn babes at Brown, Columbia, Oberlin, Swarthmore, Haverford, Wesleyan. Can’t blame them.[/quote]

Uh…no.  The non-selective SEC schools are all like 60% female, with some approaching 70%.

All selective schools are around 50/50 because they receive tons of applications relative to their slots.[/quote]

Marginal women go to college. Marginal men are more likely to choose another career path.

There are fewer decent paying jobs available to women who don't go to college.  You can wait tables or be a daycare provider or work retail or work some kind healthcare job.  The pay is so-so.

Guys are more likely to go into a trade. They have access to better paying jobs without an education.  They have more choices. [/quote]

This is true. The female “trades” don’t make anything. They’re service workers. But, they do have access to the men in the trades. The well-educated female professional are left with a diminishing number of men as partners.[/quote]
