Who's the weaker sex now?
Article Abstract:
An examination of research conducted by Brunel University which reveals that women are now outshining men in terms of performance at university. The research claims that macho culture is to blame for the underachievement of men at university, with claims that men go to university to play hard, while women go to study hard. Remedial action is called for to address that attitude of men towards the importance of education and convince them that time spent at university is a valuable investment and not just an opportunity to have fun.
