When most people supported the social norm, "no sex until marriage,"

And when was that?

do you think that 20% of women attending college

In those time women did not attend colleges. The triple K (Kinder, Küche, Kirche) were expected to be enough for them. Social norms, y'know...

Not as many women attended college, but some did. I actually mentioned that as I was writing the comment and then deleted it, since it isn't relevant -- you could reinstitute one of those norms without the other.

Actually, I don't think you can reinstitute any of these norms, together or separately.
