I STRONGLY recommend reading War Against Boys by Christina Hoff Sommers. How our schools got this way traces right back to feminism and certain ideologues *cough* Carol Gilligan *cough* spouting bs that eventually led to a lobbying effort in the 90s that got Congress and the dept of education to make schools more girl-friendly.
Also, food for thought: There's actually a bigger gap today with fewer men than women in college than there was back in the day when there were fewer women than men in college that lead to the creation of Title IX. So I ask you all here, right now, WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE? Instead all we're seeing is hand wringing and self-congratulations about the supposed success of women in academia. The double standards and sexism against men is so prevalent even the president of the United States is guilty of it!
