I found another spin on the article about the declining proportion of men in college in Howard Kurtz's column today.

<<InstaPundit's Glenn Reynolds, who teaches law at the University of Tennessee, dissects this Washington Post story on the rising tide of women in college.

"Sex discrimination in college: 57 percent of degrees are going to women. There's a lot of hand-wringing about why, but they miss the obvious: over the past 20 years there has been a concerted effort to make colleges male-unfriendly environments, with attacks on fraternities, with anti-male attitudes in many classes, with intrusive sexual-harassment rules that start with the assumption that men are evil predators, and so forth. Now men don't find college as congenial a place. It's a hostile environment, quite literally.

"How come none of the experts quoted in this article has noticed that?"

Evil predators? We'd like some more evidence, please.>>

Wow, that guy has an attitude!

EDIT: I checked out what else he had to say on the subject and found this:

<<Sure, some men will be more comfortable in a feminized environment, just as some women are more comfortable in a masculinized environment. The latter is considered sex discrimination, though, so why not the former?>>
