There can't be many places in uni where women are outnumbered by men. It seems like that are taking a majority and trying to make out they are not the minority.
They aren't talking about university as a whole. They aren't talking about courses where men are massively outnumber by women. It seems they are using the one group of people where women come off worse than men to fit a narrative.
Either use the data from all the the university or not at all. Otherwise it's data selection and biased.
Also the self reported sexism is very tiring because it in itself is biased. You hear it all the time something like Woman A : I get so much sexism of man A. He always talks over me.
Man b: yea man A is an arsehole. He talks over everyone, I don't think he can help kt.
Yet you use that data and it looks like sexism because it is self reported. It's not, I've noticed many women struggle in loud environments, that's not sexism if she is treated the same as everyone else and just struggles with it.
