Probably be championed by people who were adamantly against affirmative action before.

Does that include all post secondary? I thought the 2-1 stat is 4 year degree programs and excludes trades.
What interesting is you still have structural things that hurt women once in a job (maternity experience loss whether you take it or have kids or not) but in getting into university we have structural issue that hurt males.
Simply the entrance age for school and the time school starts in the morning put males at a disadvantage.
I think rather than programs that try to intervene after the outcome we should be fixing the structural problems before they get worse. But if necessary males in general could use assistance in entering post secondary in non tech fields.
