>Unfortunately, Tyre chose not to share with her readers that this last statistic is not what America is seeing at its finest universities and colleges. According to the College Board website, only two of the top ten academic schools in the nation, as ranked by U.S. News & World Report, have more female students than males. By contrast, six schools have more men, and two are 50-50. Also, America’s two finest technological institutions, M.I.T. and Cal-Tech, have male-dominated admission rates of 58 and 71 percent respectively. I guess such facts were unimportant to Tyre. <
Talk about lying with statistics.The majority of the top ten schools are private and not subject to admission fairness.They can make their freshmen classes meat any demographic they desire.Women at one major eastern university threatened to start a diversity suit because the schools did not have enough men.
20 years ago MIT and Cal Tech would have been 90% male.Ga.Tech where the men are men and the girls are to has become more femanized also.20 years ago they borrowed chearleaders and twirlers from the local nursing school.
Not quite true. Mom is their role model of what their relationship with a woman should be.
I'm proud of the boys. They are fine. We have a grandson and nephews and they are all wonderful. To hell with those who bash boys and men. They are the insecure individuals.
If Tyre and/or Newsweak's editors deleted mention of Sommer's book then the simple conclusion is that they don't want people to read it.
