Ucas: Men are becoming 'disadvantaged group'

JamesRyder · 2013-03-20T17:36:49+00:00

On our database of prospective students seeking university scholarships 70% of them are women. Could it be that men are less driven to secure their future than women?

Fucking hypocrites, they never accept that as an excuse as to why there are less women in STEM fields.

It didn't say what the proportion of male candidates was for education degrees but presumably even worse than the 10-90% split for nursing. Not to worry though. At 10% men are only "becoming" disadvantaged so no worries.

When teachers in grade school give preferential treatment to girls, give them higher grades for the same work, teach the class in ways designed to appeal to and work better for girls, and consistently demonize men and uplift women, is it any wonder more boys are doing poorly in school and see less point in suffering more of it?

Also, with the climate of "males are pedophiles" hysteria, putting more men into schools as teachers may end up ruining a lot more of those mens' lives and careers, at least until or unless the balance shifted enough that the climate of accusation=guilty is changed.

If you think men are just now "becoming a disadvantaged group", you really haven't been paying attention to human history, or you have simply been focusing on the ways in which women might have been disadvantaged, or perceived as disadvantaged, throughout history(which is, in of itself, a form of male disadvantage).

Men aren't "becoming" disadvantaged, we're just starting to notice that they are and always were.

Men becoming a disadvantage group? They are, at least in the US. Don't know about the UK tho which the article is on. But whats funny is that there are education gaps in various first world nations all of which favoring women. What does that tell you?

Becoming?

Men have always been a disadvantaged group. We don't get handouts like women and we never have.

This shows me evidence that men are getting smarter, realizing college is a scam.

Quick lets change their education system so it favors women despite the fact it was mostly equal before! Let us have lots of programs for women and give them massive encouragement while ignoring if not outright discouraging boys. Ooooh ooh now we can give them lower marks despite them performing better on gender blind studies and tests. Aaaaand lastly lets give lots of scholarships for women only and bring more women into the fold!

Wait.... men are not performing anymore? Oh no the tragedy maybe we should do something about it? Ehhh give it a couple more years and we sure as hell better not blame how we set things up in the past because admitting you were wrong is not possible.

I think the problem is the whole disadvantaged group is.

It used to be about figuring out who need what sort of help. Now its being used as a tool for claiming victimhood status and as a tool to deny help to certain people because aren't a designated "disadvantaged group".

The initiative is part of a drive to train more men as primary school teachers to provide role models for young boys.

HAH!

Too little too late. I can't name a single male friend of mine who would want to work anywhere near to a fucking primary school after the damage feminism has done to men's image and masculinity, let alone in one.

When it comes to kids now, I'll home school them through the primary school years and then put them into a normal secondary school. There is not a fucking hope I would ever put my children through the farcical "education" that they're receiving in the "girls are best!" primary schools these days.
