I see. But let's not forget that women are gradually earning their own sets of privileges. The 20th century was big. Now the arena of change is even greater. It's not just that more women are attending university than in the past, it's that a majority of university students are now women, and the trend is still growing. I've seen numbers over 60% of the student population (Canada's university-aged males outnumber the university-aged females, but are both at approximately 50% each).
We need more threads on gender issues.
