US universities “citadels of gynecocracy”

Uhh... I don't know about the stats, but universities still seem to be male dominated. Neither the premise nor conclusion makes any sense.

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.
