70% college class is female? I don’t think that number is real. I know that the percentage of females in college is higher around %55. But that doesn’t tell the whole story. Yes females have made gains in law and medical but they are at %50 which is were they should be. Hard sciences they have also made gains but they are still way below %50. Accounting and business I believe females are slightly higher in %. The big gains are in the soft majors, feminism, female studies, ancient cultures etc. These studies are overwhelming female which they always have been. What took place in the last few decades is that colleges have expanded these soft science majors and accepted more women. Where these majors didn’t exist decades ago or were regulated as small departments today colleges have greatly expanded them. For example early childhood development was not a major in most universities when I attended college. Now this is a giant major in most colleges. The outcome of this major has not changed the women’s life at all. The career she gains is still a low wage position changing diapers with the caveat of now carrying a heavy college debt.
Because they realized that was a way to make more money, especially since so much of the cost is not being borne immediately by the student.

The article noted all the things you did, but the fact remains that women are attending college at more than twice the rate men are.

And eventually some of these people will rise to become “leaders,” especially in liberal ranks where competence is less a criterion than class. Witness Hillary Clinton, Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi ...
