Universities should accept equal numbers of male and female students in every subject To what extent do you agree or disagree

Apropos of the statement, I am in a consummate discord with it. Gender equality is a buzz word these days. Many socialists even contend that universities should have equality in number of male and female students in each courses.

Without demur, women contribute significantly in world's economy. From a home maker at house to a nation maker in parliament house, women's contribution has been enormous. One can conceive the situation, if even for a day, entire women population decides not to work. Think about the financial and social losses even a day without women could cause. No one can ever doubt on intellectual ability and perseverance quality of women.

However, the universal fact remains that there is a considerable difference physically. It can be asserted that males are stronger physically while women are soft and tender. This makes these two genders unfit for certain subjects in university. For example, construction-related subjects like civil engineering or mechanical engineering require more stamina and physical strength. On the other hand, subjects like nursing demand tenderness and sensitivity. To expect equal male-female ratio in such subjects look highly unrealistic.

Moreover, the argument to have equal number of male and female students in each subject encourages reservation which denigrates the idea of merit-based admission. This would lead to devastating impact on University's reputation. To add, this can also be a cause of frustration for more deserving candidates. Such situation would have detrimental consequences not just to individuals but to the entire society.

In a nutshell, I would assert that gender equality in university education should be discouraged. The idea of gender equality is more appropriate at school level while it should be disregarded at the university level.
