From Our Friends at College Candy

College Candy explored a recent study discussed on NPR about how men are being favored in college admissions. Is that so bad? they ask. I have a degree in fashion: I didn't meet a single guy in my major courses, and that included when I studied fashion journalism. In other words, I'm biased! We want you to weigh in.

While gender balance in education is important, it's almost ridiculous, IMO, to let that dominate the admissions world, or even sway it. Isn't it about time that women had the rule of the roost, educationally-speaking?

College Candy asks: "What do you think? Should colleges discriminate against women in order to maintain the gender balance? Or should colleges let things run its natural course, which obviously ends with women taking over the world?"

Honestly, prior to reading the article just now on College Candy I wasn't aware that ratio of male to female students had changed or that males were being given preferential admissions treatment. I'm not sure it should matter, either. Traditionally, certain career paths are more appealing to one sex than another, and I don't think you can enforce gender equality by limiting one sex in favor of the other. You can't force a man to take fashion design anymore than you can force a woman to become an engineer. Make courses and professions more appealing to either sex and allow the student to decide which direction to go. Would you want your ob/gyn to have been admitted to med school based on gender instead of skill and ability? How about the engineer who designed the elevator you ride in?
