And it is senseless to say that 40 years of women promoting a feminist agenda is the example of women throughout history of raising boys in this way. An article like this would not have been necessary years ago because this was only an issue of late

I didn't see anywhere in his article where Fred claimed it was women "throughout history" (nor am I). He was merely stating that a lop-sided female presence in schooling is a big part of the problem NOW. The unstated implication is that feminism is the root problem, but what a lot of people don't seem to realize is that feminism is now the DOMINANT operating philosophy in our institutions, ESPECIALLY among (younger) women. Women born around, say, 1970 or later, are completely indoctrinated with feminism, with uncommon exceptions (such as, hopefully, Freeper women, but I've seen evidence of that not always being true). So, wherever you have an over-representation of women, you are going to have a somewhat slavish devotion to feminist ideals, and feminist ideals HATE masculinity.

Undoubtedly, there are a lot of sissified men out there who buy into feminism as much as the ladies, but the difference between even a sissified man and a woman is that a man won't see boyish behavior as a disorder that needs medication. Men expect boys to act like boys, while many modern women expect boys to act like girls. That seemed to be Fred's point. You can hope to de-program the feminism out of all the women tomorrow (ain't gonna happen), or you can, in the near-term, have male teachers handle the boys.

No. He didnt say women throughout history. He should have, then he’d remember this is a trend an unwise ill advised trend of feminism that, because of its failure toward men, will not last, so all women should not be thrown out of education. Their ideas of feminism should be.

“Undoubtedly, there are a lot of sissified men out there who buy into feminism as much as the ladies, “

This is a way for males to evade their traditional responsibilities.
