The "Girls are Smart, Boys are Stupid" culture

i like how this article touches on how biased the school system is against male students. i remember in my 11th grade english class, i was forced to re-do an entire unit of work because i finished 3 months work in a week. my teacher refused to accept it or mark it because now he'd have to do "extra work" to keep me entertained. similar things happened throughout my courses where i would have such little trouble that my teachers would resent me for it and try to disadvantage me so as to not increase their own workload. i was labeled "trouble" and dreaded in any class except for a small minority (run by the same 2 teachers, no less) simply for being above average.
meanwhile, my female academic rival (who ended up winning the award for highest grades and getting a full paid tuition scholarship to the best school in the country, which would have been mine had i been treated fairly by my school) was glorified for her brilliance.
due to teachers giving me 0s on assignments and projects i handed in weeks or even months early, i graduated with 60s, appearing to be a bottom end student. i feel like i was robbed of my chances of recognition for my academic abilities because of how i was treated, and how poorly i was handled by the schools. it's almost like being a male with high intelligence is the worst block you could have in school

Here via r/all.

To remove the possibility of the problems the author describes, our vision of equality must go deeper than superficial measures, and it must be owned by both genders, on their own behalf and on behalf of the other.
