[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a Harvard professor and mom of two boys who is a neuroscientist, and she wrote extensively about this. Boys develop at a later age than girls. The college admissions process favors things where girls are stronger. That is what you are seeing in admissions results.

I have a son and a girl and see this difference. The current trend is that in areas where girls are weak it is taken as sign of discrimination and there a tons of programs that encourage girls. Same DEI nonsense.

Take math for example, even after so many pink this and girl that programs, girls are not even remotely close to boys in math competitions.

Now, take emotional maturity, planning, and introspection. Girls are about 10 years ahead of boys in these skills. These skills are just as important as math; however, these skills are critical for college admissions and boys have a tough time due to this.

It is ok, given enough time it would just normalize.

Except boys used to be able to manage this before.  We have lost boys to online worlds.  They can't or won't live in the real world.  Parents, wake up and stop blaming the girls.  Teach your boys sef-regulation and discipline.  [/quote]

You know the admissions landscape changed quite a bit. Anyway to you it is simple, boys suck. That is all one needs to know about you.

What you wrote is not even close to being accurate. Boys, especially White boys, spend FAR more time on the internet, and on dangerous sites like Discord, various spinoffs of 8chan etc. and parents need to get their boys off of them. That is what the OP wrote. The only thing that seems to suck is your reading comprehension skills. [/quote]
