I don’t buy this line of BS...

That's because you're too old to have grown up under an anti-male (especially conservative male) educational system.

Public education is nothing like you remember I'm sure. Any boy acting like a boy is told to see a doctor so he can be drugged into compliance. A boy chews a pop tart into a gun and get's suspended from school. Another boy writes a story for English class that includes images of war and it's suggested that he's mentally ill.

And then there are the studies that confirm that while boys are receiving better scores on tests, their teachers are grading them lower than the girls.

That kind of bias against boys really makes a difference, and it's been going on since the 70's.
