White both males and females expressed strong support for the value of college education (98% and 99% respectively), females gave significantly stronger endorsement for the value of reading and writing. The majority of males evidenced strong support for academic related activities, did not view academic duties as feminine (but rather as masculine), showed little desire to abandon college for alternatives such as high paying blue collar employment, and did not endorse the idea that college success constituted a betrayal of one's roots.
