And when a man and a woman both get the same job with the same qualifications, and the woman makes (on average) only 80% of what the man does, yes, that's sexist.

There are examples of sexism going both ways too. This isn't 30 years ago anymore.

This still exists today. I've studies this recently in Uni and they still make less than men in almost every industry.
Can't comment on your dad's situation but as for most post-secondary institutes, the higher enrollment of females has nothing to do with sex, but just the fact that they qualify with higher grades.
edit:also to add: In post-graduate studies, the trend reverses and male enrollment far outnumbers female for whatever reason.
