They should have spent some of that money on taking a basic math course. Or paid better attention in grade school.
My 6-year-old would be able to calculate this better. For shame.

Given that women are around 60% of college students (roughly, haven’t looked at the latest numbers), it’s not exactly shocking that they hold 56.4% of the debt.

Well, but 56% is now officially one third, so there’s that.
What a way to create news out of nothing.

“56% is now officially one third”
they rounded up to the nearest third… close enough for government work (as the saying goes).

I do not know what I am missing here, but I think it is 54.6% rather than 56.4%.
In any case, clearly, it was not money well spent.

They are clearly counting on people’s brains being so rusty that they won’t notice the problem with the numbers.

Plus, they’re comparing two groups of people who aren’t equally represented on college campuses. More women than men go to college these days, so it stands to reason they’ve got more of the debt.
But hey, this is the preschooler-logic vision of equality… so I guess the next thing they should be aggrieved about (the same way my boys all have to have exactly the same number of cookies, even though they’re not remotely the same size) is the way women outnumber men on campus– the clear solution to this problem is affirmative action for men.
