Boys: The Second-Class Citizens

Here's a quote that stood out especially to me:

"Ironic, isn’t it? We remove male role models from our sons’ lives, then when our sons act up, we blame it on “patriarchy.”"

I chose to homeschool my son for this reason. We had discussed the idea before we had kids. However when Kindergarten rolled around the public school down the street only gave them 30 minutes of recess and the rest of the day was spent sitting at a desk. I couldn't let my boy get a label because he would rather make gun noises with his mouth.

Just move to India or China, where boys are golden and girls get killed for not having a penis.

As someone in professional education, I call bullshit on this. By the time young men get to me, they have no trouble sitting at a desk for 42 minutes at a time. In a small school with girls out-numbering boys by almost half, I can tell you that they (boys) are prized and even pandered to.
