Boys aren’t kept out of school for economic reasons? Boys aren’t drafted into conflicts before they can piss straight? I covered parts of the continent. The apex fallacy around boys is just that.
I’m for helping CHILDREN in affected countries. But I’m done minimizing the plight of boys or letting anyone gaslight me into believing that 3rd-world girls are the only ones who suffer.
The Boko Haram fiasco is a great example. The hashtag was #saveourgirls. Fuck, man! The boys got kidnapped, too. Not only that, but most were never returned and ended up as child labor or worse.

Dont forget child soldiers :(

Child soldiers are the ultimate example of why the apex fallacy needs to be shot down at every opportunity and of the damage it does when used by feminists.
Warlords/terrorists in some unstable region go into a village and take all the young boys, nobody bats an eye on the international stage. These boys are then indoctrinated and trained to support "the cause" of the warlord/terrorist cell that kidnapped them and are sent out to carry out attacks. International community condemns these boys that were taken from their homes as monsters and tries to hunt the organization down. Not all of them die, so they go out to raid villages for more "recruits." Go back to the start and repeat.
If they take one girl though, everyone loses their fucking minds and suddenly hunting this organization to extinction, slaughtering all the members (willing or not) to the last, and rescuing the girls they kidnapped becomes the primary objective of a fucking international task force.

If I remember correctly, from the vanity fair article, it was 300 girls taking precendence over 10,000 boys. That calculates to 10,000/300 = 33.3 boys for every girl. One girl's life is worth 33 boy's life. Ofc, if you're an ethnic minority and the girl's white, then it'll probably be worse than that :)

This I can understand. In parts of Africa, women actually are oppressed. Girls are often kept out of school to assist with agriculture, to get married, or have to drop out because of time missed due to a period. I don’t see any misandry here—just helping out people in parts of the world where they’re oppressed!

This goes back to an old analogy I have of the classic "Are you against kicking puppies and toddlers?", you're against kicking puppies and toddlers right? Of course you are, so shut the fuck up you bigot and donate to help the poor starving girls in Africa, they are using these girls as a shield to deflect criticism and collect money for their cause.
No no, don't think about all the boy child soldiers that get kidnapped from their villages or forced to work in mines. You're not supposed to think about that or even bring it up because they're not important. Just because one class of people is more oppressed than the other doesn't mean that they should be ignored outright and that is what charities like this do on purpose, especially feminists. Oh and if you don't think that feminists don't do this, then go and talk to them about falsely accused men or male domestic violence victims, you'll be in for a shock. The joke is as well they'll tell people who complain about this "Go and set up your own men's groups or charities then!" as if we're whining about nothing, then when somebody does they're the first to attack them for it and claim they're misogynists.

Amazing how they do this, all while pretending like the whole world is out to get them. Cognitive dissonance, rationalizing, and hamstering at warp speed.
Btw it's not just feminists who do that, most women think that way. Don't even try to talk to that "cool" female friend/family member, they won't understand, and relations might worsen for it. Lots of ad hominem & straw manning, in addition to shaming & name calling are their favorite tools to control men. MGTOW

My daughter the feminist spent lots of time volunteering in Africa in a few countries. She knows many people now who did or presently do that. She was also a grant writer for amnesty intl. She assures me that for decades , African females get 10 times the ngo/ non profit help that the males do. Grant writing to help boys was viewed as a waste of time since money to help girls has such a nonstop firehose of cash it's much easier to just follow that gravy train of funding. A non profit could waste a ton of dough and endless hours writing grants for males , only to receive nothing. It's a huge risk to " waste" all that time when money for girls is raining from the sky. She did a lot of work on her own organizing help for boys because it was and is sorely lacking.
She taught English in 2 Tanzi cities to girls only and there was no class for boys being taught. They were expected to work while the girls went to school. This woke her up and made her want to help the boys when she saw with her own eyes. She was taught and learned from her org that the boys were lavished with top tier education and privilege, before leaving to go to Africa. She landed and saw the exact opposite everywhere she went. Quite a wakeup call.

Then there's the rape crisis in the conflict ridden eastern DR Congo, which many on the ground suspect affects as many if not more men than women and yet there have been numerous reports of NGOs threatening to withdraw funding if the scale of sexual violence against men were to be revealed and aid channeled accordingly. Eg:
Dolan points to a November 2006 UN report that followed an international conference on sexual violence in this area of East Africa. "I know for a fact that the people behind the report insisted the definition of rape be restricted to women," he says, adding that one of the RLP's donors, Dutch Oxfam, refused to provide any more funding unless he'd promise that 70% of his client base was female. He also recalls a man whose case was "particularly bad" and was referred to the UN's refugee agency, the UNHCR. "They told him: 'We have a programme for vulnerable women, but not men.'"

This is the negative sum game that Alison from the Honey Badgers has so eloquently articulated.

The majority of children forced into labour are boys (and the ratio of boys to girls predictably increases with more hazardous labour) while boys account for almost half of all children out of primary school globally (even though aid agencies are fond of disappearing all the boys by quoting the total number of children out of primary school as the number of girls out of primary school).

This is consistent with the policy of entrenched misandry espoused by the UN and the WHO.
The same policy of misandry and gynocentric policy that continues pump billions of dollars into breast cancer for women, while other cancers receive very little, and men with breast cancer are denied access to services on the basis of their sex.

What is the education situation in Zambia? If the overwhelming majority of students are boys, then I'm fine with this. But if it's about equal, then this is completely unfair.
