It might at a place like MIT. And only 10% of women were accepted. Hard to judge too much on this without seeing more data.
And less than 5% of men were accepted.
Okay, so what data could possibly justify women receiving double the admission rates?
Where do you make up than %?

That's a big difference, but most unis had trended toward 51% + females over a decade ago.
More women in college than ever. More young women entering the teaching force, more of these teacher fricking student incidents.

Do you really think that accounts for men having less than half the acceptance rate? There were 7k men applying that didnt meet the mean SAT/ACT Mark's? But 100% of the women did?
Wow.
You clearly were in the group that didn't get accepted to MIT.

If the candidate pool for women were on average a lot stronger than the candidate pool for men. I could believe it for MIT given that it’s a major engineering and science school - it’ll just naturally have a larger population of men interested and, hence, could have a weaker pool on average. The marginal differences are so small between candidates who do get accepted that it’s tough to draw conclusions without knowing more info than what’s in the OP.
If I saw those stats for Harvard, I’d say there’s more likely an issue of discrimination against men. Not so sure that’s the case at MIT.

I'm just wondering if women who apply to MIT are different from women who apply to Yale or Wellesley or Dartmouth.
Might not explain all of the disparity but it could definitely be a factor.

Maybe it's because males are falling behind. Of course, the feminists won't care about that because they're out for revenge.
Well that, but we need more people in these labor intensive jobs. More skilled laborers. Types of jobs American women won't take.

This would be about the time for the push for more girls to get into STEM careers to start bearing fruit at the college entrance level.
I agree that the numbers seem unusual but without seeing more data any conclusion is just folly.
Further, I just can't get too wrapped up in how a private institution handles their admissions. It is their long term reputation at risk and no business of mine.

How many white males
Out of 700 admitted? I'd say maybe 200. And I bet most of them are Jews. Very few protestant good ole baws get admitted to MIT.
I would say 60% Asians, 20% Jews, 10% white gentiles, 10% from random countries.

Without scores/grades how can you say that? What if 7k of the male applicants were under qualified and just shooting their shot? Would not be that weird as studies show men are more aggressive in seeking promotions a step beyond their qualification levels.

That's the only possible way this makes any sense. But I dont believe only 50% of all males that applied were not qualified and 100% of females were qualified. There has to be a greater than 50% difference somewhere.

I just don’t think you can say there was some agenda against men based on what we know.

If they didn’t have an agenda, MIT would be nothing but Asians. A lot of them not even from our country. At least this agenda benefits this country lol. It’s still majority Asians now though.

Your percentages are just a smidge off.
I know one of the girls who was accepted to MIT. She scored a 36 on the ACT as a sophomore, graduated early (in a Math/Science Tech program), placed nationally at ISEF and invented a device that detects contamination (specifically arsenic) in water supplies.
I have no problem saying she’s as qualified as any of her male peers.

Good, we need them smart baws becoming entrepreneurs and running businesses, not being indoctrinated and having to pay off student loans until they are 50 years old.

Probably most applicants were essentially equal in GPA/SAT/ACT and MIT probably wanted a balanced class male:female wise. I doubt the females who got in are less capable or deserving than the males who didn't.

Med school acceptance rates for males are down, too.
