A funny comment in a thread about how boys are too dumb to meet fourth grade literacy standards. |
You're almost there. Actually, parents need to parent better, and require boys to step up their game. So that by the time they grow into men, they are ready to be better than mediocre. |
Actually boys are really going into nursing now that it’s a pretty well compensated field. But my point isn’t to force girls into Stem. It’s that there are still a lot of social pressures pushing girls away from stem. It’s still considered geeky which is a worse condemnation for a teen girl than a teen boy. The internet is really unwelcoming to girls—see all the online harassment of women in gaming. And the majority of games are still made by and for males which really makes the teen tech world very male dominated. There’s a lot of funneling that pulls girls out of tech and moms are part of the problem. None of the UMC feminist moms I know are really encouraging their girls to get involved in CS or engineering, except the Asian ones. Why don’t UMC women of other races care about this? I don’t know. They are all buying legos and looking for coding camps for their boys. It drives me nuts. I was a girl mathlete in the 80s….i did not think it would still be like this. |
It’s always a woman’s fault. |
It's ironic that you blame the mom on a thread about boys not being "all right" when every single boy has a father out there. Perhaps the boys would be "all right" if the fathers stepped up and taught the boys to step up. But, I guess the fathers can't do that because the women aren't letting the men step up. Coming full circle: it's always the woman's fault. |
Percentage of men in nursing went from 9.01% in 2011 to 11.21 in 2022. That's hardly an increase over a decade. https://nursejournal.org/articles/male-nurse-statistics/ Women in STEM are about 25% by comparison. |
It's true the toxic men comes from Harvard. They are mostly rich brat kids |
Inflation started 30 years ago dumbo |
It's true the US interferes in other countries politics. US just wants power and make money.
Now we have enemies thanks to bush, and the inflation it's hitting us hard Looks like the economy is getting better, it was a big mess after the war of Afghanistan that Republican Bush started |
Men started wars.
I think God wants Women to rule |
The parents of the boys I know are more often than not always making excuses for everything they do that could be corrected or worked on. It’s pathetic and so are they as parents, and so are their not-great students, not-great attitudes, not-great sons. |
You're so full of sh!t it's actually comical. |
Look at the ratio for Nurse anesthetists. And IT program managers |
+1 Yes, there was/is a patriarchy but it’s not like the youngest generation of boys are being advantaged by it. But society is trending towards misandry. It’s not even something that people keep on the down-low. There’s a lot of open vitriol aimed at males. Older generations might deserve it, but they’re not the ones being affected by it. I do see a lot of flame baiting in this thread, and am not trying to add to it but I see a lot of blatant double standards by many feminists. “Equal” means “equal”, it doesn’t mean “give us equal standing and prestige amongst the things dominated/run by males… but also let us keep the perks females have always had”. |
This. It's okay. The boys will still find jobs. And as PP said, get back to me when we have parity in leadership positions across the spectrum. |
