Would that were true. But it doesn't seem to be the case.

Your reasoning implies there's a smaller applicant pool for males than females. But they're equal.

A 60/40 college enrollment split in favor of girls exists today -- they're admitting 20% more girls than boys from an equal number of applicants. Period.

My reasoning does not imply a smaller male applicant pool. Where did you get that? At issue is the academic record of the applicant pool not the size of the applicant pool.

It is a fact, however, at many schools boys don't need as strong an academic record as girls. And Blacks and Hispanics don't need as strong an academic record as girls. Do you conclude this is all because lesbians in control of the admissions offices? Now that's funny!

Ah, but dont girls have higher grades, making it a ready excuse for the admissions offices.

The flipside of this bias in grading towards girls is that boys 'test better' than girls. Ah, but the wise ones tell us NOT that this is evidence that subjective grading is easier on girls, but that standardized tests on geometry and basic math are somehow the things that are biased.
Average SAT scores are higher for boys than girls, in particular in math.
