One data point that is often conflated in the U.S. is the population of males and females. Overall, females outnumber males, but males actually outnumber females in the U.S. until approximately 45-50 years-of-age when men start falling behind. And when it comes to 18 to 24 year-olds, prime college years, the number of males outnumber the number of females.

The college apparatus, for over 40 years, has benefited women more than men; preparing, enrolling, graduating, and providing more scholarships and Pell Grants for women. Billions of dollars annually.
