Boys are not all right

[Anonymous]

Maybe boys need to step up their game?

Give me a call when the President and Vice President are both women, the Supreme Court are all women, Wall Street and industry are led by women, the military, science, academia, medicine, etc.

Boys are fine. Even mediocre boys and men are advantaged over women.

+1

What I took away from this was - girls outperform boys pretty much everywhere, and yet boys still run the world. Hmmm...

What you are missing is that boys eventually catch up, and of course can also move beyond if they are encouraged to keep moving forward (which isn't happening everywhere the way it used to). They develop slower, and the difference happens to be the most stark just at that point in time when academic performance sets you on the path to the next level. Once you get to college and grad school however, boys finish their brain development and catch up and/or move beyond. This is similar to the research on gifted brains in early childhood: they physically develop more slowly because they are growing more neurons on more surface area.

Nope. The data shows that women are pushed out of STEM once the criteria for success are less objective because of unconscious bias, gender inequality, and discrimination. They do well through undergrad when a percentage of correct answers gets you an A, but then struggle when success gets more subjective.

I do think they struggle more with identity and role models now. It is especially more fraught with the MAGA/Trump influences on young men.

I think that is why the Kelces are getting so much positive attention and I love it.

Success is not a zero-sum game when it comes to gender. I think many young women are being taught that it is.

Agree.

In 2024, the feminism girls and young women are taught is different.

Feminism in 2024 is not about equality. Feminism in 2024 is about female supremacy.

I think women are the only way that the world will survive. If women ruled the world we would have less war, a better childcare for all.

Women do so well the UK couldn't vote fast enough to vote out their female leadership, lol.

Certainly seems to be the message after watching the Hollywood hit, Barbie.

Art imitates life.

You clearly didn't understand the movie.

OP is correct.

Society in the US, particularly among the college-educated, has turned toxic for boys.

Men have a lower rate of participation in the workforce.

Boys are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD and autism.

Males are more likely than females to drop out of high school, and the ones who do go on to college are less likely than their female peers to graduate.

They are barraged with constant and conflicting messages about what it means to be a man, and the consequences of failing to live up to other people's ideas about modern masculinity can be severe.

And all of this is difficult to talk about because the simultaneous cultural crescendo of misogyny and the war on women's rights (particularly on social media) is so intense, it has created a zero sum game expectation around our basic humanity.

It has become a no-win scenario to grow up male in America now.

Who ever claimed BJ was any good? No one.. That's much different than claiming the entire world will be saved by people because they have a vag.

Lol, Merkel blew chunks and Germany is now overrun with migrants too because of her.

The world is sh!tfaced. IMO, can't get any worse with women in charge.

And you are the one who picked a specific female leader of the UK, so I picked a male leader of the UK in comparison.

LOL.. our country is also over run by migrants, right? And we have never had a female leader.

You need to work on your critical thinking skills.

As opposed to plunging the world into the great depression, or two world wars? LOL

Male privilege was what propelled most white boys ahead. Now that they can’t count on it to cover up Larlo’s shortcomings, DCUM is in a tizzy.

This is it. Boys have been handed things for so long, that now that they have to *work* for it, people think they're suffering. What's that saying? When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

Wahhh keep crying. The world isn't fair, sorry.

Tell you what, if you hate it so much then just leave and start your own country dominated by the patriarchy. But first you'll need competent leadership, money and an army to take over land to start your own country to start all over.

The most pathetic part about it all is the inability of women to start their own businesses and do entrepreneurship even with all of the major advantages given to them for handicaps. Women investors can fund women entrepreneurs, yet for some reason they don't.

Keep crying about the world being unfair. It's unfair for a lot people outside of your identity group too. Tough.
