[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I decided to start a boys’ exercise and “empowerment” club at my child’s school that specifically excluded girls, heads would roll. And before you say boys don’t need empowerment and emotional support, check the latest high school dropout rates, college attendance rates, suicide rates, and think again. [/quote]

All of society already implicitly empowers boys.  They already see other boys and men in leadership positions at every level in every industry and around the world.  We make such glacial progress against sexism in this society because people like you argue about the wrong things.

Start your boys club and empower them to be respectful members of society who see girls as true equals and I'm all for it.  [/quote]

Hey PP, what’s your race? Your spouse’s race? Because, by your logic, there is probably somebody more disadvantaged than you. Therefore, you should give that person a special spot due to their lack of empowerment.

Why don’t you give up your job so a more disadvantaged person can take it? Maybe your property? Tribalism leads to a slippery slope. We are an individualistic society and country. And we don’t punish people for the sins of others.
