Wouldn't they be disadvantaged by the combination of both? If you have to be both male and black to be impacted by this, it doesn't make any sense to me to say it's only due to gender.

That is, suppose white men and women (for the sake of argument I'm excluding other races) are on a completely level playing field. But, black men are going to college far less than black women, because of incarceration or gang violence and whatever other factors. How can that be purely an issue of gender and not race?
