I had a Petaluma City Schools trustee -- a man -- tell me that the reason boys are behind girls academically is "because they're stupid." Another said "because they're lazy."

Just to add to the stories here.

I was a substitute teacher for awhile. I'm a guy. Most classes are taught by women.

Time and again I was amazed and literally shocked to discover that the brightest and most energetic male students were considered discipline problems by female teachers and substitutes.

I hated many of the girls who were considered teacher's pets. They were bitchy, thought the rules didn't apply to them, and acted like they owned the place.

It's always easy to blame the performance of the system on persons not capable of perfecting the performance of the system.

Teachers need to challange the students, failiure to challange them leads to low grades. Nothing more!

I've taught intermediate males for a long time. They're behind at school because it's no longer cool to be smart and academically competitive. It's a great excuse to pave the way for home entertainment centres and slack time. Most don't seem to care.

You can be a man and a misandrist. Yes, you can hate your own gender and yourself without realizing it. Women know all about this.

Male misandrists are news solely because we're beginning to look for and recognize misandry.
