No preferences in admissions for males. If the women beat us out because of their higher GPA's, extracurricular activities or just higher intellectual capacity, more power to them. I did not get accepted to an MBA program because I could not score high enough in 2 attempts on the rigorous 3.5 hr. GMAT exam, due to my confusion and brain fatigue. I met lots of women who beat me out on the GMAT and are doing extremely well in the MBA program or have earned their MBA. Admissions must be merit based and , when it is, the women win!

the ratio of women going to college over men will only get worse as opportunities (scholarships) for women only continue to grow and the guys are left out in the cold.

Rather than focusing on Title IX, I redirect the argument onto the Fourteenth Amendment. We have substantial, and relatively recent, cases dealing with race diversity in higher education (Grutter v. Bollinger and Gratz v. Bollinger). While these cases applied the scrict scrutiny test (race classifications are of the upmost suspicion, Adarand Constructors v. Pena), gender by the Supreme Court is held at intermediate scrutiny (Craig v. Boren).

I would argue that there exists a compelling state interest to have a diverse student body. However, the procedures in utilizing affirmation action must not be quota based (Regents v. Bakke) and take a wholistic view of the applicant when considering gender (Grutter v. Bollinger).

I find it ironic that the same men who argue that affirmative action represents too much government infringement on the private sector will then go and say such a thing as Erich did (that clubs shouldn't be allowed to charge less for a sex- if that's what they want to do, then the business owner should have the freedom to do so).

I don't agree with affirmative action and I don't agree with people like Erich who think they're making some profound point… consider, Erich, that if a club was empty of girls, NO GUYS WOULD GO TO IT. Clubs make ladies night knowing that if there are a lot of women at a club, a lot of men will show up… we all know no straight guy wants to go dancing at a "sausage fest". Therefore, the club has to entice women to come in order to stay in business.

No affirmative action, regardless of race, sex, whatever… if someone works for it, let them in to a school (Can you tell I'm a Libertarian?). If a minority student doesn't have the grades or skills to go to a prestigious university, she or he can go to a 2 year school first and work her or his way up… no need for favoritism here. All affirmative action does is perpetuate the myth that "race" even exists as a biological fact.
