Men, college, syllogisms

There seems to be a logical gap in Instapundit's original argument here... If an anti-male atmosphere is supposedly responsible for a diminishing percentage of graduates being male, then either (1) significant numbers of men are refusing to go to college because of the fear of oppression via sensitivity training, or (2) significant numbers of men are not graduating -- either quitting, failing out, or being expelled -- because the administration is cracking down on drinking, date rape and hazing. Doesn't it seem more likely that more women are simply going to school? Certainly more than 30 years ago. Why? Maybe, to speculate, because an uneducated man has more opportunities than an uneducated female. Maybe a lot of older women are going back for degrees which their male peers got long ago. Or maybe because a lot of men, especially minorities, are in jail. -- Mr.Joel
