"In 2016-17, women accounted for more than two-thirds of American students studying abroad, a proportion that has remained constant for more than a decade."
"Colleges have long blamed the gender disparity on the simple fact that women outnumber men on campuses and tend to major in disciplines that historically have accounted for a large share of overseas programs, such as the humanities, social sciences, and foreign languages. Meanwhile, fields dominated by men, mostly STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) disciplines, have a reputation for being less hospitable to overseas study because of demanding degree requirements.... [M]en seem to study abroad only if they find the time in college, while many women arrive on campus with a plan to do so. As a result of all this, colleges can make more programs that cater to these patterns, but for now the outcome is that many men are missing out on what for many is one of college's most gratifying and memorable experiences...."From "Why Are So Few Male Students Studying Abroad?/More than 300,000 college students went overseas in 2016–17. Just a third of them were men" (The Atlantic).
The outcome is that many men are missing out on what for many is one of college's most gratifying and memorable experiences...
That's a strange use of the word "outcome." And who decides what is "gratifying" and "memorable"? Everything that you do takes the place of something else, so you're always "missing out" on something. It seems that the female perspective is offered as the one that counts.
You could just as well say, The outcome is that many women are missing out on what for many is one of college's most gratifying and memorable experiences... because they're not devoting themselves to a demanding STEM program.
This is another manifestation of something that I've often noted in journalistic reports of gender difference: Whatever is true of the female will be presented as good.
Thus articles "In 2016-17, women accounted for more than two-thirds of American students studying abroad, a proportion that has remained constant for more than a decade."
