If so (and only if so) it's quite true that the women can afford to be much choosier about whom they date, and a man will have a harder time finding a date.

Perhaps this professor "has made offensive comments in the past", as "Some students told the Daily Cal", but, in and of itself, a statistical truth about a more difficult dating scene shouldn't be considered offensive.
