This should be of no surprise to anyone, our society today is built around demonizing males, and elevating women.
This has happened very slowly over time, but it's where we are now as a society. Unless boys and men rise up, this trend will continue.
Boys lag behind girls in math and English in grade school, and represent just 40% of college students. In the workforce, fewer men are entering growing sectors like health and education, furthering the divide.
Why American boys are failing at schoolâand men are losing in life
When almost one in four boys (23%) are categorized as having a “developmental disability,” it is fair to wonder if it is the boys — or the system — that is not functioning properly.nypost.com
This is awful and we are failing our boys, and our men.
Boys learn by doing. School used to be a place you would go maybe, say, 5 hours a day--maybe you would walk 2 miles each way to get there--(sorry for the cliche, but true)--and then you would go home and work. This was not time away from education. This was education, so in the end you could read, write, and "figure"--and you could also do things "manually".
We are so broken. I'm so sad about it
