[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We used to teach men that discipline was necessary for a quality life and successful career. Now people complain of it being “anti-male” to discipline boys rightfully for erratic behavior. I do think more boys would benefit from an all male environment, since girls are socialized to be more disciplined and still than men.[/quote]

Counterpoint, for generations we kept women out of academics when they are far capable both there and in any thing that requires time management and executive function. The guys will experience discipline in their gigs driving for Amazon and Doordash.

As this comment illustrates, many people don't care about boys at all.  That's the real problem.[/quote]

Not really, truth is this is nothing new, kids who can't get it together have always been expendable. [/quote]

Until we’re talking about your kid, who can’t possibly be expandable, because you’ve done an awesome job as a parent. Or can’t have difficulty finding a partner to start a family because again you’ve proofed their life for any kind of setback.

The point is males seem to have difficulty enrolling in higher education and getting degrees, regardless of what their grandfathers did. I think it’s worth looking on the causes instead of just chucking it to video games and being lazy.

We want people in our society to be successful regardless of gender, not settle some score.[/quote]
Yes but we also must attach personal responsibility somewhere in the equation. [b]Men undoubtedly have various social advantages over women that should result in their success[/b]. There’s something implicitly sexist that all these discussions derive at women teachers being the issue and not the boys who’ve had continued broad access to education.[/quote]

Can you give some examples of those undoubtful social advantages men have today?[/quote]

Totally curious what the imaginary advantages are for 13 year old boys today?[/quote]

They said MEN, stupid. No wonder your child sucks. You’re an idiot and they’ve inherited your dumb genes. [/quote]

Well this comment was pure projection...[/quote]
