For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.
Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only
▪️ Title must match the article headline
▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)
▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Uhh... I don't know about the stats, but universities still seem to be male dominated. Neither the premise nor conclusion makes any sense.
if you're in the states, then you need to get rid of the assumption that anything ever needs to make sense to republicans. the premise, support, warrant, conclusion---everything could be 100% wrong/false/irrelevant. it doesn't matter to them. you can't have these kinds of discussions with people who plug their ears and scream "fake news" at anything, regardless of how factual, that they don't want to hear
Yes, I obviously wouldn't bring a logical argument against someone like this, but it's fun to point out logical fallacies in groups like this.
There are more women in university now then men and has been for awhile. Source Google it tons of articles.
In faculty positions or just enrollment? I could believe the enrollment, but I doubt faculty will switch so quickly.
More women than men were joining universitites (in the US) for the last 40 years.
And yet many people still push for more female enrolment in universities. That's the difference between feminism and equality.

I get that. My point is that gynecocracy is about people in power, so I was thinking about those in power at the universities (deans and professors), not enrollment. If enrollment is higher, wouldn't that have more to do with K-12 education (which is female dominated largely due to crappy pay, so won't likely be a primary breadwinner)?
