The overall gender imbalance in American higher education is now just as bad as when Title IX was first implemented, only in the opposite direction. What's interesting is this is deliberately excluded from many metrics of gender inequality, eg the UN defines inequality as "fewer women in college than men" so even 100% women and 0% men would be graded as "more equal" than 51% men and 49% women. Pretty Orwellian.

The reality is that the more extreme elements of her party are not actually that popular.

let have a look and reverse genders in your example.
>>> Why are majority students men not women
>> perhaps there's something fundamentally wrong with women today? I'd look there.
hmmm....

"Oh, Hillary is not a PERFECT candidate, I'm going to punish the Democratic party because of it and vote for Trump".
Or, one of my favorites,
"Those jerks, they totally passed on Berny! I'm going to vote for Trump!"
Idiots that vote against their (and everyone else's) own interests just because they can't have THE PERFECT candidate is why things are such a mess right now. Always letting PERFECT get in the way of BETTER.

Do you have a reference for that definition? I can't find it.
