[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People will disagree but there needs to be more emphasis on boys and finding their way. The number of men not attending college and not working is alarming.[/quote] Why is that? What happened to all of the boys? My husband claims it’s video games, but I doubt that is scientifically true (we are a gaming family, BTW, so I have no animosity toward gaming).[/quote] Years of feminization in school and focus on their feelings, instead of action, which is how boys/ men are wired.[/quote] And gobs of $ poured into advancing girls and their education and well-being---girls in stem, girls on the run, take your daughters to work day (until push back was so great it got changed to 'child'). Laura Bush saw the data ages ago about boys not reading and worked to create initiatives to improve literacy in that group, but never heard much about it after. Boys are more likely to drop out of school early and a lot is the feminization and initiatives that took over our school system, even the literature selected. But, from a young age--how boys learn and their ability to sit still and develop at a later rate. Now there are a ton of women who can't find suitable marriage partners---of similar caliber.[/quote]
