&gt; That wasn&#x27;t the case a few decades ago, when I believe there was far less prejudice.<p>Keep in mind that in HS men are discriminated against in terms of their GPA. But then the ones that make it to college get some affirmative action in the admissions process, which partly makes up for it. Though there are still way more women who make it into and through college. But then Ph.D. programs arguably favor men.<p>I guess my point is that there are lots of different types of participation in the education system, and lots of different types of discrimination. So saying that discrimination has on the whole increased or decreased, even in the limited area of gender issues, is probably difficult.
