That push started in the 70s. The big outrage was that campuses were 57% male and 43% female, and that was unjust and unfair and horrible. So we got Title IX and a host of other changes to the system.
Fast forward to today, and the Left's universal answer to the question "Do we need to do more to get more women in college" is a resounding "YES!! Of course!!"
This is despite the fact that we smashed through the "fair balance" of 50-50 male-female back in the early 90s. By 1997, we found ourselves at the exact same 57-43 ratio of the 70s... but this time it is females on top... and not one peep about the unjust and unfair and horrible situation. In fact, they fervently and unequivocally want much much more.
It is never actually about fairness. It is always about taking, and controlling, and punishing the productive. The same exact thing is happening with racial balances. The handouts to skin tones will never stop, or even slow down. It is intended to be permanent, and persist even long after the imbalance is blatantly obvious and improper in the other direction.
This is further backed up by Thomas Sowell's wise warning, about the day that we try to end the preferential treatments to certain skin tones: "Equal Treatment will feel an awful lot like Discrimination when you're accustomed to Preferential Treatment."
Credentialed, not educated.

Yes. Thank You.
Makes me ashamed I have a degree and have to be associated with the moron white males with one, although I don’t know any like that, every college guy I know personally is red.
There is hope, though. No men want anything to do with them so that raises the odds they won’t reproduce to create new generations of lunatics. Keep your fingers crossed they all die as bitter old spinsters.
Well, the good news is they don’t have many children.

Unless you need a degree for a skill for a career or particular profession (meaning you actually learned something), college is an utter and complete waste of time …… not to mention money.
It would be interesting to see college educated females under 30 splits. They have to be worse. Makes for poor marriage partners.
Perhaps women shouldn’t be allowed to vote. /s
White left-wing women self-report far higher rates of mental illness than any other political demographic. It’s a fact, and it doesn’t get nearly enough attention: much of Western left-wing policy in 2025 is driven by the mental illness of white liberal women.

I can confirm this by looking out my front window here in the “white” western suburbs of Chicago. They self identify with the U-crane flag, the “hate has no home here” signage, the I’m Pro-America but Anti-Trump signage, etc. They get together and have wine parties in their driveways. They are all using botox and some are only in their mid 30’s (I know this because they invited my wife to one of their botox sales parties). Needless to say they hate me because somehow they know I’m not one of them. Could it be the 3’ x 5’ Trump flag in my garage?
White women have played a significant role in the ruination of Western civilization.
Same here in NW Indiana….lol
“they think the Rats aren’t far enough left.”
That is why Chucky’s rating is so low.
never confuse education with intelligence ... they are two different things ...
I enrolled in Mechanical Engineering......
So the education system does not fail everybody.

You are 100% correct. BSME degree in 1985. I’m not sure how they can water down and DEI an engineering degree with stupidity but no doubt they are trying.
If you are a guy, and want to marry, it is a requirement.
BSME ‘93.
White woman.
I wouldn’t call that a graph; I’d call it a table.
The demographic mentioned here is also the segment of society with the highest rate of SSRI antidepressant use. Alcohol dependency probably figures heavily as well.
What exactly do the +/- numbers on that table mean?
That DEI (DIE) is 31 points to the majority for white women? I.e., 81% like it?
It’s not explained anywhere. Nor do I know what the sample is, at all. Where did they ask? How many?
In any case, it does look like white educated women have the liberal tendencies.
But we’re not all like that and some of us put uneducated white men to shame!
And, the topics can be open-ended. As another stated, not approving of Dems could mean they’re not communist enough. And disapproving of Trump does not mean they’re all hateful of Trump or the opposite of conservative.
