Girls outperform boys from primary school to university

Women outperform men from primary to university

“We need to figure out why female students are still less likely to pursue technology, engineering and maths, and what the possible implications of these gender-based patterns are for labour markets.”

The article is still about how underrepresented women are.

There is a study that when names were taken off papers, women teachers graded boys better. No one else got better. Men teachers didn't change, women didn't change grading girls.

Both Dr. Warren Farrell in 2015 iirc and Dr. Richard Reeves last year sum it up in their TED talks.

Its clear boys are going backwrds in enrollment to uni which is concerning as its social.

Oh, and as usual, the mods over on MensLib are doing damage control.

With lots of commenters pointing out how the article is unhelpful and not genuinely interested in helping boys. The moderators step in and delete the thread.

Here's their justification:

"This article focuses too much on women in stem and not enough on men" is not a productive way to kick off a discussion.

Furthermore, if the article isn't spending time talking about how to help boys in school, then it doesn't have content to discuss here.

These mods are truly horrible human beings.... I just can't understand what the hell is going on in their heads.

Sometimes it really seems like they drink their own cool-aid and believe they're doing good. But then they pull this kind of nonsense.

I can honestly speak from experience that girls are coddled a lot more in school. Especially elementary. They never did say anything to the girls who would harass me but if I had of smacked one of them you can bet would have gotten into trouble.

Although it won't shift the hard core believers, this is the kind of evidence, in my opinion, best used to refute the patriarchy conspiracy theory.

Inclusivity ends when the ones in need of help aren't inside the protected reserve

Does anyone else feel this is a good argument for single-sex schools? I went to an all-boys school and had a great experience. There are downsides, sure, but if the parents are able to ensure their kid is properly socialised around the opposite sex I think single-sex schools make a lot of sense. If I ever have a son, I hope I'm able to put him in an environment where the teachers are more likely to get through to boys and less likely to discriminate against him because of what's between his legs

And they still get affirmative action and more scholarships!

This is a matriarchy!

dont you know? it's because they are just better /s

Representation matters. Only 9% of teachers in elementary are male. When the only role models we expose boys to are athletes and YouTubers, you can’t be surprised they take no interest in academics.

Science has been telling for years that male and female brains have no substantial differences.

I've read a post suggesting the fact women mature earlier should be taken in consideration, which is absurd, since this difference is only related to sexual/physical growth and not brain development.

Also, women endure hormonal imbalances later, this is why men have usually problems with acne long before women.

To cut is short, both sexes reach the same level of development at some point.

The truth is males have been "under fire" for a while now. Social pressure is having a serious effect on how they perform in school.

Someone has already mentioned the gender bias, here's another article about it: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2019/apr/23/school-guilty-bias-against-boys-gender-gap-education

Claiming men have less abilities than women is a malicious falsehood and it's part of the narrative pushed by woke/pseudofeminists movements.

Well yeah they keep telling boys reading is gay.

Idrinkbeereverywhere · 2024-01-15T21:49:28+00:00

I've seen advocates call for holding back boys 1 or 2 years due to slower mental maturing. Having worked in education, I think that might actually be a pretty good solution.

In my college majority of female students kept the reputation of them being diligent to impress teachers. They invested time in subjects that didn't even mattered to other men. I don't see discrimination here. To me it was a stupid game with stupid prizes, I'd rather spend time on things that matter more. After graduation that wasted additional time didn't bore results

Maths remains an outlier One subject that showed a different pattern across all age groups was Maths. From Early Years Foundation Stage assessments to A Level grades, male students outperformed female students and achieved at the highest levels.

Well if you hand in a maths assignment you either got it right or you didn't. There isn't as much subjective room for assessing those as in other subjects. As someone else here said, if you remove names from students work so teachers can't tell if it's a male or female these achievement gaps tend to dissappear.

I'm struggling this week to finish my final paper for my law school degree. 2nd largest oldest law program in my state - graduating presidents, US senators etc.

This degree is where the OP issue really hit home. After the first year it seemed pointless to continue.

Women were lauded, after that first year all male staff mysteriously left - now it's been a revolving door of minority women and in the time I've been there we have dropped 23 spots in US News. The last good dean was first year, a male of color who left for the business school. Clerical and all mannwr of mistakes plaugue the school now.

Male students seemed to only excel if they found their niche with conservative men in the program - so this meant men in military, police (usually going for Prosecutor or AG jobs) or as finance (Wall Street, corporate counsel etc.)

So if men didn't join the frat boy and frat babe culture, you didnt have any connection and would be treated as a pariah.

Halfway through last semester a woman of color demanded I give her my seat, asking over and over "are you in this class?" - i already felt horribly out of place as a 50 yo career changer after a horrific divorce and fight in the family courts.

All the ACLU, Environmental law, Tribal Law, Housing Justice people etc students (work I care about) were very vocal feminists with fathers or husbands paying their way.

Any discussion in Criminal Law focused on how bad men were and men who dared speak up got silenced by shunning.

You could see the fear in their eyes - eyes of these cops and Marines - tons of stories there.

Not saying this is proof - one can never really prove it - I just felt hopeless.

Overall, I had to just call it my hang up and keep working toward graduation when my grades suffered due to a growing sense of hopelessness.
