Boys Deserve Respect

Here is what my son learned in class the other day. A man's mind tends to be slightly less developed than a woman's.

As a science dude (used to good and bad news), as far as I know there is no difference between men's and women's mind development level. At this point I don't know if the teacher is an ignorant or a bad-intentioned person, but whatever the case, it's a huge fail in the education system.

Regarding car insurance costs I know that in Spain the mileage per year doesn't count as factor for insurance companies in any way -at least for the average, non-professional driver-. But the more miles you drive (and therefore the more time you spend driving), the more possibilities for you to have an accident.

And while women drive more and more every time, as a whole group they still drive less than men.

The company may say: "It doesn't matter to us, because in economic terms women as a group are less risky -whatever the cause is-". But then again, saying that "men are more prone to traffic accidents than women" is not a correct statement because it's missing a key factor.

I'm very surprised this VERY sexist car insurance hike for males is not discussed more often here. I remember hearing about a study not too long ago about how males are actually SAFER drivers than women on average, but that men simply drive MORE on average hence resulting in more car accidents. Could you imagine if they were charging women more on average, even if the current statistical ratios of men and women were inverted? No, that would CLEARLY be sexism of the highest order. Could you imagine if they were charging certain ethnic minorities more for car insurance? Even if their accident ratio was significantly HIGHER than other ethnic groups? No, that would CLEARLY be racism. Men are the LEAST protected group in the Western world and it is about time that people stood up to this feminist-imposed injustice.

I wonder, was this teacher trying to explain that male executive function develops more slowly than female executive function? AFAIK that's true, and it's not a completely useless piece of information for girls to have about boys, or for boys to have about themselves.

But still, massive explanation fail.
