Holy shit, my sides. Stewie Griffin was supposed to talk the way he did for reasons of comedy. It wasn't supposed to be satire of anything.
IIRC his voice was modelled after Rex Harrison; specifically his role in My Fair Lady as Henry Higgins. Not quite satire; but both the actor and the character were fairly misogynistic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Which is a movie from the quite-misogenystic-1960's, made after a musical from the more-misogenystic-1950, after the even-more-misogenystic 1930's movie after the 1910's play that I don't know anything about, but i'm willing to make a bet...
Uhh... I don't know about the stats, but universities still seem to be male dominated. Neither the premise nor conclusion makes any sense.
Yes, I obviously wouldn't bring a logical argument against someone like this, but it's fun to point out logical fallacies in groups like this.
More women than men were joining universitites (in the US) for the last 40 years.
And yet many people still push for more female enrolment in universities. That's the difference between feminism and equality.

I get that. My point is that gynecocracy is about people in power, so I was thinking about those in power at the universities (deans and professors), not enrollment. If enrollment is higher, wouldn't that have more to do with K-12 education (which is female dominated largely due to crappy pay, so won't likely be a primary breadwinner)?
There are more women in university now then men and has been for awhile. Source Google it tons of articles.
In faculty positions or just enrollment? I could believe the enrollment, but I doubt faculty will switch so quickly.
That’s exactly who they want to be.
