[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boys have effectively been emasculated by feminist teachers and drugged for fake ADHD diagnoses, it's no wonder the effects are starting to be felt in higher education.[/quote]

Gosh this is so sad. I'm a feminist, but agree wholeheartedly that boys are so disadvantaged in ES and forced to sit still for hours and medicated when they can't. The system is failing these kids. [/quote]

boys have had to sit in class for as long as classes have existed. The real difference is that they now have to compete on equal terms with girls [/quote]

Read about frontier schoolhouses.  Boys were expected to sit still and be quiet, and often faced physical punishment if they disobeyed.

Also, girls can have ADHD, too.  [/quote]

While those are true statements, you can't ignore the statistics. Something has happened to this generation of boys.[/quote]

they're having to compete with girls on equal terms. They're the first generation where those girls have parents and teachers/administrators largely have equal expectations regardless of gender [/quote]

Especially in STEM. I have watched boys (and sometimes their parents) lose their sh!t because my DD was better in their engineering activity. Some coaches and mentors were more blunt (or willing) when it came down to telling the boys that she was better qualified.[/quote]

Yeah and I have seen girls getting spots on a coveted team because they were girls. Gotta have that 50/50 you know! [/quote]
