Celeste Davis: ‘Why aren’t we talking about the real reason male college enrollment is dropping?'
For every 1% increase in the proportion of women in the student body, 1.7 fewer men applied. One more woman applying was a greater deterrent than $1000 in extra tuition!
This post is long, and I won’t pretend I read every word, but I got the gist and was nodding along. Our institutional disregard, dislike, and devaluation of feminism will continue to bite our ass as a society. The only way it’ll change is by teaching kids by example to accept and celebrate people as they are.
I can’t help but wonder if this is as prevalent in more progressed countries. You know, ones who won’t refuse to have a women as their elected leader.
@pratik Oh yes, I’m familiar. Similarly, classism against people who are poor in money. We can’t help but divide and pit ourselves against one another. We lack empathy as a whole.
