...entire basis behind these ideas is fallacious. Just look at the actual gender breakdown in the concentrations. In the graduating class of ’02, men only outnumbered women in the natural sciences 61 percent to 39 percent. (2001-02 is the most recent year for which I have comprehensive data.) By way of comparison, men outnumbered women 64 percent to 36 percent in economics and government, the two largest concentrations, while women were 65 percent of psychology undergraduates, the third largest concentration...
...Breakdown: To imagine the pick-up basketball scene at the MAC, first picture the premiere streetball courts of a Brooklyn or a Venice Beach.

Bloch recalls numerous occasions when he had to leave court...
Despite the inclement conditions, Schoen scored three goals, two in the first half. But Schoen’s contributions could not offset a late first-half defensive breakdown that gave Columbia a lead it would not relinquish...
