I dispute the contention that boys are less qualified; I’ve seen the gender breakdown in higher-level classes, and many of the replacement Americans’ cultures wouldn’t even bother sending a female to college (they’re the ones reproducing). Now they just want to move that 59% up to the graduate and doctorate level, since there really is no shortage of American males that can make the cut.
As I said before, there still tends to be a difference in the boys’ favor in STEM programs and in acceptance to the very elite schools—there are more boys at the very top of the SAT’s.
The replacement Americans with cultures that discriminate against girls academically are clustered at the lower end of the bell curve anyway. (And again, the racial differences in scores are very large, the male-female differences quite small.)
I’m not for affirmative action of any type. But there is indeed a reverse affirmative action going on at the bulk of American colleges to simply get a more equal sex ratio in their student bodies.
I actually don’t know how I feel about that. I can understand colleges wanting more equal representation for social reasons, but that’s not really any different than other affirmative-action quotas—and it’s not really fair to any individuals who may lose out because of it.
