Few Men in College, Women Suffer

shawn writes "This
article
is about the shortage of men in college. In particular, it discusses the disparity between the number of black men and black women on campus. Of course, the article isn't about the obstacles and issues that prevent African American and other men from obtaining a higher education. No. It seems that women are the real victims of this educational shortfall because they can't find enough men to date. This article is interesting because: 1) it illustrates how the news media exclusively focuses on women even when it's clear that men are the ones with the problem; 2) it's another indication that women are reluctant to consider less educated men who do not have good jobs."Source: Savannah Morning News [newspaper]
