Women college grads outnumber men by about 10% and the gap is widening. Is the future of men in doubt?

It will be interesting to see, if women can take this advance into the senate or the board of executives of big companies. Maybe it is not sustainable anyway, if the fertility rates are dropping further.

While there are more boys born into the US...the number equalizes around age 5. By the teen years, there are more girls...as more boys die off. So, more girls going and finishing college is not a surprise...simple math-there are more girls that age.

women have had to work harder against discrimination to get into colleges so they're not gonna waste those opportunities. they work harder.

I think it will mean a huge shift in who goes to work and who stays at home with the children

I don't know, but it might be. I'm an old man and it won't affect me, but any young men and boys may have some issues to over come
