Why American Boys Are Failing at School—and Men are Losing in Life

In New York, boys are now lagging behind girls in math and a full grade level behind in English. Similar patterns can be seen across the nation. Boys graduate high school at about the same rate as poor students, while girls account for two out of three high schoolers in the top 10% ranked by GPA. One in four black boys repeat a grade, and 60% of students on college campuses are now women.

When almost one in four boys (23%) are categorized as having a “developmental disability,” it is fair to wonder if it is the boys — or the system — that is not functioning properly.

As many boys struggle through school, many men are also having a hard time in the labor market. The jobs men used to get without much formal education are disappearing: Fewer than one in ten jobs now require what the Bureau of Labor Statistics describes as “heavy work,” requiring “occasionally lifting or carrying 51-100 pounds or frequently lifting or carrying 26-50 pounds.”

A friend in education says that standard educrat policy basically amounts to - treating boys like they are defective girls.

Feminism has won. With the full participation of men without balls. We now live in a matriarchy.

A politically incorrect requirement - disparate impact on You Know Who.

And because too many women are not ladylike

Whatever happened to natural beauty?

For a while feminism was kept at bay by most girls ultimate desire to be with a strong, confident, and successful man.

But after decades of training girls to be "independent" and suspicious of men, and decades turning boys into weak and timid failures there is nothing left to keep feminism at bay.

Except maybe the fear of transgender men horning in on their newly gained territory.

This in New York.

Hard pressed to think this is happening in any red state.

It isn’t an accident. It is intentional.

Men who aren’t men are easier to control.

The Christian Character Development Organization Trail Life USA exists to counter the defective girls idea. We want to raise strong, masculine Godly boys.

Download a really good booklet that describes the problem and the solution.

The Police (band) responded :-)

I’m a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom
I kill conversation as I walk into the room
I’m a three line whip, I’m the sort of thing they ban
I’m a walking disaster, I’m a demolition man
