Men as the Second Sex?
Women already dominate at every degree level, accounting for a higher percentage of earned degrees than men, reports Valerie Strauss of The Washington Post, and this gender gap is likely to grow. The gender gap is also greater among certain minorities. The gap between black women and men, for example, is greater than the gap between white women and men. “The huge gender imbalance in college degrees,” writes Perry in the Enterprise blog, “suggest that men have increasingly become the second sex in higher education.”
