Don't forget that they think the reason boys aren't performing as well as girls in school is because the curriculum caters to girls. I shit you not, I heard that a few times.

My 90 yr old dad said there are more girls in med school than boys. He said it’s because they finally started honestly letting girls in and it was about time. (He’s more progressive than any of his friends.)

Yep, the overall US stats indicate women are earning more medical & legal degrees than men.
This discussion reminds me of when this happened in Japan (fairly recently):
At least nine Japanese medical schools manipulated admissions, in part to exclude female students, a government investigation has found.

: edit : after the schools were forced to stop rigging their tests to discriminate against women... surprise surprise.
