At every level of schooling, girls are now out-performing boys in the classroom despite having no advantage in ability or aptitude. This performance gap ultimately carries over to the college application process, where girls’ high-school GPAs are, on average, higher than boys’ (even though the very top applicants at most colleges are still disproportionately boys). We also have experienced dramatic changes in the sex ratio in numerous well-paying professions such as pharmacy and vet medicine. Do you believe there is some conspiracy against males in those professions, as well?
“but reflect the deterioration of socializing institutions like the family, the military, and the Boy Scouts, but especially the diminished role of fathers and other male role models in the lives of these young boys.”
They reflect the outlawing of public displays of our Judeo-Christian heritage; it is as simple as that.

I find that very hard to believe; I haven’t been in school in decades, but I have sons that are, and I see their peers. Just admit that females are handed a lot of advantages, and men have reacted to that by simply letting it run its course. We can have a whole nation of ditch-digging men, supervised by aging spinsters, and the culture dies and is replaced by another (or several) with no such vision of the role of females. The Hispanics, Muslims, and Hindus pouring into this country EVERY DAY are having an impact, and these people are not so “enlightened”. They are inheriting the Earth, because God will not be mocked by what the West has done with His bounty. Their children are filling our maternity wards and schoolyards, and they are winning without firing a shot. They are proving that in fact, you CAN’T HAVE IT ALL. They choose “guns” (children); Americans choose “butter” (new cars, pets).
