A Disadvantaged Start Hurts Boys More Than Girls

But they said there were clues to why boys are extra sensitive to disadvantage. A big one is that impoverished households are more likely to be led by single mothers, and boys suffer from a lack of male role models.

I wonder how many times the absence of a male role model needs to be identified as a root cause of societal problems before fathers are cherished as much as mothers?

You hear that? Yep it's the sound of no one giving a shit. Nothing will change. Anyone attempting to assist boys will be shamed and vilified just as they have been in the past. Unless of course it is overseen by a woman who will then identify everything boys do as toxic and present a solution that is to integrate more girls with the boys.

Male space is a sin, Male support is a sin, being Male is a sin.

I grew up in a time when Male spaces where just that, Male spaces. I can't recall ever discussing girls or women at all. We were to busy doing and learning really fun and cool stuff. Now male spaces have been cooped by women and girls because of the girls wanted to do those things too, argument. To which I say, Then do them. Just do them in your own space.

Isn't feminism about empowering women to walk to the beat of a different drum? To get off the path society has carved for them and carve there own path? Because from this angle all I see is feminism isn't about carving your own path it's about taking over the paths off others who have already done all the hard work and claim it as their own. Feminism seems to have a major problem with penis envy.

My guess is that Boys and Girls are hurt by disadvantage to the same degree. It is just that there are many more support systems to help Girls overcome disadvantages then there are for Boys.

Of course boys are more sensitive to it. Girls receive more help then boys do at literally every stage of life.
