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.

Only brought up the enrollment because there is an official "measure" of sexual equality that takes into account various things, and one of them was the enrollment in university and other post secondary. The ironic thing was, that I heard this in a gender sociology class, and the prof skipped over the fact that canada had a reversed statistic compared to many other places, with women getting in much more frequently than men.
Just seemed funny that this sociology prof made huge deals out of other things, yet skipped over something that showed the opposite. (Do not take the gender sociology class at u of c...it was horrid) [/b][/quote]
Do you know where I can see this official measure? Sounds interesting.
