Where’s the outrage? Women earned majority of doctoral degrees, outnumber men in grad school

We all know that saying empty phrases such as “gender equality” garners you brownie points in academia, campaign trails and government. If you proclaim to be a feminist and you demand fair gender representation in all fields then you will get a standing ovation. Just ask Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (except when he’s attending a mosque), who is adored by women and media everywhere.

But what happens when the scales tip in favor of women? What if men become underrepresented in a specific field? Well, you simply ignore it and demand more women in a certain industry.

Using data from the Council of Graduate Schools, the American Enterprise Institute has crunched the 2015 numbers and found that women earned the majority of doctoral and master’s degrees and outnumber men in graduate school.

Last year, females were awarded about 52 percent of the doctoral degrees and 58 percent of the master’s degrees. When it comes to total graduate school enrollment, women outnumber men 57 percent to 42 percent.

As you dive deeper into the fields, you notice that women are dominating the fields of arts, biology, education, health sciences, public administration and social sciences. They’re beginning to have more representation in business.

The three fields that women are lagging in – and which will certainly be exploited by activists, teachers and politicians – are engineering, mathematics/computer sciences and physical sciences.

Mark Perry of the AEI makes a prediction that is certainly likely to come to fruition:

“Additionally, there will be no calls for government studies or increased government funding to address the significant gender disparities favoring women in graduate schools, and nobody will refer to the gender graduate school enrollment and degree gaps favoring women as a problem or a “crisis.” Further, neither President Obama nor Congress will address the gender graduate enrollment and degree gaps favoring women by invoking the Title IX gender-equity law, like they have threatened to do for the gender gap in some college math and science programs. And there won’t be any executive orders to address the significant under-representation of men in graduate schools by creating a White House Council on Boys and Men like the executive order issued by President Obama in 2009 to create the “White House Council on Women and Girls.” Finally, despite their stated commitment to “gender equity,” the hundreds of university women’s centers around the country are unlikely to show any concern about the significant gender inequities in graduate school enrollment and degrees, and universities will not be allocating funding to set up men’s centers or men’s commissions on college campuses or providing funding for graduate scholarships for men.”

Remember, gender equality really means revenge, and nothing more. Nobody really cares about genuine equality among men and women.
