The most recent stats on gender and college surprised me.
In 4 year schools, 58% of graduates are women. And in 2 years schools, it is even higher – 62%.
I think some of this will even out as economic opportunities to less educated men decline in our poor economy. Lacking homes to build they will go to school again.
This page has interesting stats on the plight of men. Like this one:
By the age of 36, women outnumber men.
and this depressing one:
By the age of 100, women outnumber men eight to one.
The gap, which is increasing should concern us. Nothing is more dangerous than a large group of disenfranchised men. Ask African American or Palestinian culture how that is working out.
