American colleges and universities now enroll roughly six women for every four men. This is the largest female-male gender gap in the history of higher education, and it’s getting wider. Last year, U.S. colleges enrolled 1.5 million fewer students than five years ago, The Wall Street Journal recently reported. Men accounted for more than 70 percent of the decline.

There's no such thing as the pronoun 'woman' at the college level; it's now the gender neutral pronoun 'birthing person'. We're told that a 'birthing person' can now be male and chromosomes mean nothing.
"Crikey!"
Followed by,
"Strewth"
So what do I call the person who has no penis that I've been living with the last 27 years and birthed our 4 children.
Kind regards,

Not true. Woman is still a pronoun, it's just one of over an incalculable amount.
My source is me working at a college.
The truth is he, her still dominate, with a minority of them/their. I work in the performing arts, where the newer pronouns show up I would suspect more often than many other departments.

The 'wokeness' just hasn't hit your college yet; it may take a while, so be patient.

The various professors invite students to tell their pronouns when we are introduced in classes I am invited to.
I work in the theater department; theater always being the collection pot for the oddest of odds.
If woke hasn't hit my college, it hasn't hit anywhere.
But sure, I'm game. Explain to me how wokeness has not shown up yet.
If you're truly involved in college theater in California and 'Wokeness' hasn't appeared, I stand corrected. Alternatively, we may have different definitions of what 'Wokeness' is.
