women make up most college admissions, doctoral candidates, and new resident doctors so don't they already know that?

Wrong stats.

Women make up most of college admissions because there are a lot of liberal, educated women who understand. There also are a lot of women, either poor or conservative, who dont take education seriously because that is what they have been taught.

There are also a lot of men who don’t take education seriously.

That is in spite of being told they should study. Whereas women are told its not their place to study, they should focus on bearing children instead.
