    US universities “citadels of gynecocracy”

    Uhh… I don’t know about the stats, but universities still seem to be male dominated. Neither the premise nor conclusion makes any sense.

      if you’re in the states, then you need to get rid of the assumption that anything ever needs to make sense to republicans. the premise, support, warrant, conclusion—everything could be 100% wrong/false/irrelevant. it doesn’t matter to them. you can’t have these kinds of discussions with people who plug their ears and scream “fake news” at anything, regardless of how factual, that they don’t want to hear

        Yes, I obviously wouldn’t bring a logical argument against someone like this, but it’s fun to point out logical fallacies in groups like this.

        I get that. My point is that gynecocracy is about people in power, so I was thinking about those in power at the universities (deans and professors), not enrollment. If enrollment is higher, wouldn’t that have more to do with K-12 education (which is female dominated largely due to crappy pay, so won’t likely be a primary breadwinner)?
