Page 36, spring commencement......"Women made up 59.11 percent of the class and men made up 40.89 per cent"

1. appears no one was confused by gender

2. Women appear to have total dominance over the educational opportunity.

It’s celebrated. They’re no where near confused.

Reminds me of a few years ago when I taught 8th grade advanced English. Out of 23 students, 1 boy signed up for honors English 9. I asked the other teacher how many boys signed up, and she had 2. It was something like 35 girls signed up for honors English and only 3 boys.

They looked at me like I was speaking jibberish when I asked if we should look into why the gender disparity was so lopsided.

For the last 15 or so years LSU has definitely given more baccalaureate degrees to women than men but the disparity has grown larger for sure.

Just in 2010/2011 and 11/12 men made up 47% vs 53% (women). Dropped to 46% vs 56% in '12/'13 and last year was around 44% men.

This will become an absolutely massive issue in the years/decades to come. Men will marry “below” their socioeconomic/educational level. Women, in general, do not.

Looks like LSU is discriminating against men.

Let’s look at the engineering, accounting, math, pre law, biology, stats and architect majors - were the real money.

Couple of years old but:

For the first time ever, the majority of U.S. medical school students are women, marking another milestone in the gradual diversification of those studying to become America’s next generation of physicians, according to 2019 data released by the AAMC.

Women constitute 50.5% of today’s medical students, building on steady increases in recent years that saw women account for the majority of first-year students in 2017 and most of medical school applicants in 2018. Women reached the cusp of the majority in total enrollment last year, when they constituted 49.5% of all medical students, up from 46.9% in 2015.

Camille Paglia, no Conservative icon, hit the nail on the head when she said there is a war on boys.
