the 75 cents on the dollar claim is a blatant lie. They were only able to find discrepencies in this article that favored men by looking at peer groups. Not by breaking it down any further (are you a 38 year old surgeon? Ok we're lumping you in with a 32 year old temp housewife).

But women *are* graduating at rates of 3:2 compared to men from college.

And as is obvious the resources I am talking about are academic programs geared towards getting women to graduate and go on to college.
