Protest

Many broadcasters observing the college protest are asking the question, why are there so many women protesting. One possible answer is that 60% of college students are female. Another is that women can more easily align with being part of the oppressed groups. Some suggest that since there are mostly men in the hard sciences, engineering and business and these courses do not allow the time to protest while there are mostly women in the fine and liberal arts where they have more time and some courses even give extra credit for protesting.
