Gender divide amongst 18-29 year olds

@Why is there a lack of attention given to male students to help them succeed?

I think it’s great that most colleges/ universties have entire departments emphasizing “women studies” and helping women to succeed in college. But, it seems that the male students are falling behind and are being ignored somewhat. Don’t you think it’s a bit strange? What can be done to help the male students to succeed, in the same way that female students are being helped?

I have never thought that “women’s studies” (and any ethnic studies) were created to help women succeed in college. I think they were created because the “norm” has always been white and male. For many years women’s accomplishments/contributions have been ignored and it’s only recently that they have been acknowledged. In addition, it is a different experience being a woman verses being a man in this world. Different in the way a woman has to conduct herself, different expectations, different in many ways.
