"To many women in college" Blog 2

I chose this article because it kinda hit home. My mother went to college at 40 to become a teacher and I am a low income student. This article was published in 2005 by Ms. Magazine. The author is Phyllis Rosser. The article was geared toward both genders but based on the magazine it was published in, as well as article content it was mostly geared toward the feminist minded woman. She uses a few different stratagies but not too many. She used irony, a little bit of sarcasm, and a lot of statistics to show her point. She used irony when she explained how in the past no one really worried that 2/3 of college grads were men but now that women are the majority in college, all of a sudden its a problem. Her sarcasm didn't really show through until the very end when she says that maybe its time for men to try to catch up with the women for a change. She brings statistics into this entire article. She tells us exactly how many men and women were in college at certain years as well as breaking it down into wealth of student and their etnicity.
