[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because my car died today, I met a very well-spoken and personable young AAA truck driver today.  He was college aged and quite intelligent. I'm not sure what drove his decision, but his career choices (and those of others like him) are not helping the college dating scene for our daughters!

It's also impacting the experience of girls who are applying to college. Because there are so many more girls than boys applying to schools, and admissions folks try to "balance" gender by accepting a higher percentage of male applicants, admissions are much, much more competitive for girls at many popular schools such as Brown, Vassar etc. 
I guess if you want to meet boys, go to trade school! [/quote]

The issue is not lifting up women.

The issue is that over the past decade, there has been a coordinated effort to push down males and to discourage them from achieving.  Most of the qualities that create good men, strong husbands, positive fathers and prociders have been branded as evil in the name of "toxic masculinity"

I have all sons.  They are great kids who I have been raising to be good husbands, fathers and providers.  They have had multiple teachers over the years openly disparage men, including regularly slamming "privileged white men"  Is is any wonder that many of the young men, growing up in an environment where they and things that make quality adult men are openly disparaged in their schools  and media, are now not seeking to achieve?[/quote]

I’m sure those teachers graded your boys fairly just like they graded the girls…[/quote]
