[Groups like the AAUW are right that there is bias in American education, but they’re not about to admit the truth: It is systematically biased in favor of girls. Instead, they’re still turning out reports with titles like “Failing at Fairness: How Our Schools Cheat Girls.”
As former Assistant Secretary of Education Diane Ravitch said a few years ago, “When will it be fair? When women are 60 percent or 75 percent of college enrollments? Perhaps it will be fair when there are no men at all.”]
To understand this you have to learn to “think” like a liberal. For the past 5000 years, men have had all the power. So it’s only fair that women have the power for the next 5000 years.
Yes, but most children do not get oodles of play time any more. Many of the boys in particular are simply medicated instead.
The point here is that in general boys have a harder time sitting still, not that all aren’t held to same standard. Another little-discussed aspect is dress codes. Girles letting it hang out will hurt boys’ achievement more than girls’ I’d guess. Sex segregated schooling makes a lot more sense to me.
Males need to get to business and kick serious arse, and quit with the mad search for excuses.
So the deck is stacked against them. So what? Did deeper and embrace the odds. It’s liberating in many ways.
Charge!

The idea that girls are the victims of “sex discrimination” in American
schools is so preposterous, it is barely worth discussing.

Not according to the Future First Lady, Michelle Obama.

See post 37 on the linked thread for all the aweful
discrimination and heavy-lifting Mrs. Obama had to
endure before getting her high-$$$$$ PR job.
You wrote my post for me, thanks!
Yep. And that is a very unhealthy trend for the U.S.
You’re most welcome!
Oh, yes, it is very unhealthy. We had better get our act together.
