One of the reasons boys/young men don’t do as well as girls/women is bcsauee boys are always being told that they are evil and the cause of all sorts of problems. I am in college right now and my Sociology book is full of anti-male statements. Things like how men always keep women down and that the U.S. is a male dominated society, implying that so many problems would be solved if only men weren’t men ECT. the teachers are often as bad. One problem i had in HS was when in health we had a guest speaker come in from some organization and then she proceeded to state unequivocally that every man had to be regarded as a date-rapist until proven over-wise and the 90%+ of men would commit abuse (the definition of abuse was strange and seemed to be tailed to men being bad). we had to write a paper on the presentation of this speaker. That was the ONLY Paper i never turned in in HS. I could not make myself write it. No one is going to be motivated to read a book, write a paper, listen to a lecture etc that bashes their gender. Add to this that fact that normal male behavior (aggressiveness) is seen as bad and medicated and you get boys who don’t care about school bcsauee they are drugged and constantly hear how bad they are and you get crappy school performance.I agree that uneducated,bored men running around is bad for every one. Not just bcsauee they become a physical threat to women and other men but bcsauee it makes it harder for women to find good husbands
