In middle school we were all required to spend a week at Outdoor School. The boys slept in run down shacks with no real working showers and no privacy with broken boards. The girls were literally put up in a three story hardwood floor house on the property with a fireplace and rooms and bathrooms.

Dr. Christina Hoff Sommers in her book “The War Against Boys” documents the purposeful changes in education made to favor girls.

Legislation such as the WEEA and “no boys allowed” educational opportunities aren’t a matter of opinion, such gender biases are documented fact.

Well i know they are at the very least when it comes to grading. When COVID lockdown come to a stop we had a bunch of data from which you could see that on average the grades of girls went down while the boys kept somewhat the same. This was in college btw not highschool but i believe the situation isn't that much different.

Now that might have multiple reasons but as this apparently effected attractive girls Most the study did suggest that the reason for the decrease in good grades of pretty girls was that teachers couldnt see their faces because of online lectures/test without face cam.

I shit you not, my university graders does the exact same thing when they grade the work of a girl.

Yes, in every way imaginable.

These are all real stories. Something got broken? Boys gotta clean and pay, girls get a pass (or flat out "girls dont do stuff like this, it was one of the boys"). PE class? Boys running the 5km run for the 4th time this year, girls are LITERALLY taking a stroll through the city. Grading? I literally got a lower grade, but my answers were identical to my female classmate, who was graded with me. Sick day? Girls get excused, boys get "non-excused" hours, which they gotta make up for with some school activities. You got an F and you wanna fix it? Girl, you have a week to prepare and i'll grade you verbally on the first chapter of the lesson, but boy. You get up right now and tell me everything you know about all the different printing methods. Want extra lunch? Girls sure, boys nope. Girl's locker room got broken? Girls will take the boys locker room and the boys will dress themselves up in the school's public restroom. 4 day field-trip? Girls get the rennovated building with warm water and clean beds, boys get the rusty, moldy old building with crumbling walls and mold.

On top of it all, you've got all the little interactions. How the teachers genuinely act kinder to girls and how they babysit them on every step. In elementary school, our teacher literally said that boys will grow up to be stupid and useless, and they smell, but girls are cleaner and smarter and better. The extra fuss on women's day, boys being encouraged to be nice to girls on valentine's day (as if thats not a boys holiday as well), giving extra praise to the brave, smart girls on most of the school events, field trips to the cinema to see movies about women's problems and later going to a museum or presentation about the backlashes and unfairness that women face, while no such thing was EVER brought up for men - we were just stupid, useless and smelly.

Long story short, yes. Girls are treated WAY better in school. And this is in europe as well

We live in a gynocentric society.

When i was in school i noticed every single time during any occasion girls won the awards in most events , dance , singing , arts etc. I used to think it can't be unfair girls are just better at dance and stuff but then i started noticing how differently the teachers reacted , my friends did a performance , 3 of them were professionally learning to dance ,weeks of preparation and the dance they did was one of the best someone did in school , then came girls one fell while dancing one had no coordination and they won the competition, last the parade happened i was selected for parade as best 12 and when we reached the place ,we were suddenly placed behind girls ,then we checked the footage of the event later and we were barely there and later girls were rewarded again with bare minimum efforts. I stopped participating in events , everyone knew that girls won just because they were girls and preferred by teachers but they kept making fun of boys for losing.

I work in a corporate office and women are given promotions faster for the minimal effort

I knew girls who would talk about their problems/trauma and nobody would say anything but if it were guys saying or talking about their trauma they would punish and get suspended or even told to man up by both female and male teachers. Smh.

Entire society is designed to keep women happy. Relationships are if she is happy we are happy. All dating and love is focused on her happiness.

Men and boys are hated. Life for a male is fucking brutal. Women may have a few things that can be rough. But majority of difficulty in life is shouldered by men.

Think? It's demonstrably true, from specialized programs to grading bias to disciplinary standards.

MultipleHeadshot · 2023-03-12T03:57:39+00:00

I absolutely have noticed teachers are so much nicer to girls, especially pretty girls. I get treated like literal shit the way they look at me when I speak or try to add to any conversation.

That’s just how the school system works, in higher education, not so much.

AngryErrandBoy · 2023-03-12T13:56:18+00:00

I visited my high school a few years back and they listed the top 10 students for each year. Some years we’re all female an no year had more than 3 males

My own experience that more girls pay more attention in class, invest more time in their studies and are more disciplined. More boys than girls had less interest or low investment in their studies.

It was mostly during P.E. When it came to the physical fitness test girls had to do the bare minimum. Boys have to go above the recommendation.
