The actual reason is that stereotypical boy traits are being less valued in schools and workplaces, while girls have more opportunities than ever, so boys suddenly feel a disadvantage. Add in social media and “manosphere” stuff and that’s it. [/quote]

This. They’re told by all their authority figures that they’re the ones who caused the harm to all those who have been victimized throughout society. Then they have to reconcile guilt that they never should’ve had with their own masculinity and instincts. This isn’t wholly a parent problem although I’ll be the first to say that parents who pile on to this nonsense don’t help.[/quote]

Pray tell what are these stereotypical boy traits that are no longer valued,,?[/quote]

Tell me you don’t have school age children without telling me.

Are you kidding?

Basically all male centric traits are swept aside now under the new banner of “kindness.”  [/quote]

But they are not biologically boy traits. They are traits some children have and perhaps more boys have those traits, but it’s not just boy traits.

Are you saying that a girl who is a tactile learner and learns by doing and who needs more outside activity shouldn’t receive that because she’s a girl? [/quote]

DP, but this response is an excellent example of the confident stupidity and ignorance that now dominates almost all of our societal discourse.  People seem to be less and less capable of perceiving nuance as time goes on; everyone is engaging in black and white thinking and just trying to “win” rather than even attempt to *think* about what another person is saying before responding with their own (most likely) incorrect and/or irrelevant counterpoint.[/quote]

What’s the most interesting about your ignorant and uneducated response? Is that the post you are responding to is saying it’s way more nuance than the black-and-white thinking that schools are bad for boys and good for girls.

It’s simply not true. It’s way more nuanced..

The problem is we believe schools should be one way for everyone and when that doesn’t work, we change to another one way. But we need to do is offer different options for kids, depending on the way they learn..[/quote]

Your post is almost incoherent.[/quote]

Only to you, hon[/quote]

You dumb, girl [/quote]

Still can’t name a trait. But sure keep posting nonsense and pretend we forgot that you can’t think of one trait.[/quote]

What are the traits of “toxic” masculinity?

(And FTR I’m not arguing with you about biological traits.  I’m pointing out that are a self proclaimed mathematician who doesn’t understand basic statistics.)[/quote]

You didn’t put forward any statistics. [/quote]

Oh my Lord, it’s worse than I thought.  You can’t even recognize a statistics problem when it’s in “words” rather than “numbers.”[/quote]

You haven’t even put forward a statistical statement in words.

This is you…

More boys, sometimes kind of in general have traits which I can’t name might sometimes make it harder for them, but not always and not for all of them and sometimes also for girls.[/quote]

This is the statement of someone who fundamentally does not understand statistics, math, or even logic:

“why is it not true for some Y and why is it not true for some X?”

Do you also declare that global warming is a hoax every time it snows?  Again, I’m not discussing biology with you (I’m not even the poster who made the claim) - I’m discussing your glaring, fundamental misunderstanding of statistics which is evident by you even asking this stupid question.[/quote]

You still haven’t told me what trait you’re talking about.

Is it athleticism because they are getting college scholarships?
Is it being big and strong because they’re going into the military and killing it? Literally.
Is it being good with your hands because the trades are making more money now than they ever have and some of them are making more than computer science majors .

What trait are you talking about?[/quote]

So you failed math, biology, AND English?
