Here is a bit of hard data to demonstrate that too much education, for either sex, can be as "dangerous" as too little or none.

The data come from a survey of University of Delaware professors, who are probably fairly representative of Academe as a whole:

Nearly one-third of UD faculty describe themselves as liberal and one sixth as conservative, which is the same ratio found in the NAS/Roper study. The opposite is true for the general public, where conservatives outnumber liberals two to one.

But you may be reassured to learn that almost half of the professors describe themselves as moderate (46%), about the same proportion as in the general public (42%).

Unless you have something against moderation as well...<g>
