And "in the early 1990s, six women graduated from college for every five men who did so." Going from 6:5 to 2:3 to 3:2 suggests that there is a *lot* of variation in the system.
Plus, a cynic would point out that a number of "college degrees" are more like extended high-school.

Girls' high school graduation rates in my neck of the woods far surpass those of the boys.
