<p>All of this stuff about “feminized” schools is ridiculous…I’m female, yet I fit most of the descriptions provided in that article on the first page, particularly the ones concerned with wanting concrete reasons for everything, the ones about procrastinating (who in their right mind would turn something in EARLY?) etc. I’m fine with it being more competitive for girls than for guys. At some point it will probably be the opposite case. But it seems ludicrous for the guys-who are at an advantage right now- to complain about how the schools are making them “sissy.” That has nothing to do with female teachers, it has to do with lawsuits. We aren’t allowed to play football at recess because if someone gets hurt, people will sue. Trust me, there are plenty of girls who want to play those games too…at least guys have extracurricular teams that allow contact. Girls don’t even get that (compare guys lacrosse to girls). I guess all I’m trying to say is don’t make too big of an issue out of it. Guys: schools aren’t becoming feminized, they’re guarding against lawsuits. And if girls truly are better test takers, well, what do you think we’ll be doing in college.<br>
Girls: Don’t worry too much about relative acceptance rates. They’re not going to take a complete idiot guy over a smarter girl. These differences are being seen at schools who can afford to be that picky in their applicant pool, likely ones with lower admissions stats, where admissions is down to luck at some point anyway. </p>
