Missed the point? Sure that's entirely possible. And no well-off white male will ever have problems getting into a college just as no well-off white female will have problems.
Hell, even well-off non-white males and females are guaranteed a college education. I'm not championing us poor white males and how put down we are because that would be ridiculous.
If's theres a division to be made it probably has more to do with money and opportunity than anything else.
However, the same arguments are made in order to allow (force) minorities on campuses where they otherwise would not qualify as are made here to allow (force) males onto female - majority campuses. Not just at the college level but in elementary/middle/high schools as well.
I'm probably missing the point again I am sure but it's more of a thought train rolling at this point.
..... Why? Because women and girls are beginning to succeed in a system that had been historically for men and boys only, and that scares the shit out of the patriarchy. .....
Um, I think the majority of colleges are exceedingly liberal in their admissions, I don't know of the "patriarcy" at any college, but since I'm not a woman perhaps I just didn't notice.
