Rule #1: Feminists lie.

Feminist Hegemony at its finest. Boys education at all ages is in crisis, yet they highlight the one area that boys are doing better in. STEM subjects have become the Holy Grail.

Non-STEM graduates, who are overwhelmingly female, become our Politicians, Judges, Journalists, Lawyers and Managers etc, etc; ie the people who control our country. Yet non-STEM subjects are considered of little worth or consideration.

Oh, but feminists don't trivialize men's problems! They're all about equality!

If women do well, it's because they're empowered. If men do well, it's because of misogyny/oppression/patriarchy.

You see, that's the feminist "equality" perspective! :)

There is no excuse for publishing incorrect things that can be exposed in under 10 seconds by just googling them.

This is also why I can't stand /r/askscience most of the time, but that is another discussion.

From the original article:

There may be some truth to Sommers’s claim that girls are earning higher grades in high school and even catching up to men in graduate school enrollment. But these numbers don’t tell the whole story: High school boys still get higher SAT scores

FULL STOP!

I wonder if she ever stopped to consider that statement. Boys are doing worse in school when measured subjectively but do better when measured objectively.

That is, if not proof, then at least a very strong suggestion of discrimination.

When I asked her after the debate why she was concerned by the prospect of women outnumbering men in college, but not by women’s underrepresentation in science and math, Sommers brushed me off, blaming the disparity on biological differences in men and women’s interests and IQ.

I'd like to hear the actual quote.

But I'd also like to flip this around: why is she brushing off that girls go to college more to focus only on the minority area where they are doing a bit better?

Little blurb I left:

Thank you Caroline Kitchens. Feminists have been held to almost no accountability for their claims for decades now. It is quite telling many (most?) of the prominent voices that are able to get a platform (and not too terrified) to debate feminists´claims are female. Doesn´t seem like much of a patriarchy to me.

A round of applause for National Review, clappy-clap-clap.
