And all the while, feminists and the mainstream media assured us that the schools were anti-girl.
To: yankeedame
Women need to do better in school, they are less likely to qualify for and accept jobs that get their hands dirty and don't require advanced degrees in auto shops, plumbing, construction, the military, etc.

"But why should boys be falling behind, in so many different countries?"
George Gilder talked about this years ago. A couple of reasons are: (1) girls on the average develop the sensory and motor skills valuable in school a year or two before boys; and (2) boys' biology makes it harder for them to adjust to the extended periods of physical inactivity required by school. They get bored and distracted easier than girls.

Fine. Good on ya girl!
Does this mean the feminists
will just shut up now?
To: Steve_Seattle
But those differences should have been there from the start. The question is, why are those differences growing so rapidly today when compared to those doifferences measured just 30 years ago.
My answer: Feminist liberal destruction of anything that wasn't overtly pro-female. THe pendulum has swung the other way, and is continuing, with little in sight to slow its progress or even point it out... other than those insignificant 1-percenter right-wing fascists who should be ignored, shouted down, and kept out of the electoral process and mainstream media, of course.

Name three great female composers.
Name three great female scientists.
Name three great female mathematicians.
Name three great female inventors.
Name three great female engineers.
I'll spot you a few:
Composers: Cecile Chaminade
Scientists: Marie Curie
Mathematicians: Sophie Germain
Feminists will argue that women were 'oppressed' and thus could not contribute in times past. Very well; we await the flood of Nobel Prizes in scientific fields for the "XX" chromosome specie.
As I have previously pointed out, women seem to have better luck as interpreters of creative/original work done by males: dancers, singers, teachers. And as writers they are certainly the equal of men.
And please: I am not a misogynist. I love women. Women civilize men. They bring forth new life and nurture it. Maybe these abilities interfere with genius-level creativity; I dunno.

The story doesn't say so, but the conclusion is obvious. The Moslem world will never prevail with 51 percent of their population held back.

"But those differences should have been there from the start."
I think the differences were there all along, but didn't become obvious until more girls pursued higher education in the wake of the feminist movement. In the old days, girls might have outperformed boys at the lower levels, but then most got married and didn't pursue higher education. I know when I was a kid a majority of the good students were girls, and that was 40 years ago.

"The story doesn't say so, but the conclusion is obvious. The Moslem world will never prevail with 51 percent of their population held back"
College educated women are much less likely to have children. The muslem world is maximizing reproduction while western countries are losing population. All they have to do is wait the western world out.
To: Teacher317
Another thought: as girls became more serious about education, this probably motivated disadvantaged males to "quit rather than fight," dropping out of school and establishing little enclaves of male power in gangs and such, rather than fight a losing battle against girls in the classroom.

To: yankeedame
This is a self dampnening historical development. As they progress, women don't reproduce and their less capable sisters do. The result is a general long term decline and reversion to the normal state for women.

I've heard of Schumann. Wasn't she related to a famous composer?

30 years in a technical field, and I have yet to benefit from 'preferential' hiring...and I do get my hands dirty. In fact, men leave me the nasty jobs. What princes they.
I think white males are discovering that competition isn't what they thought it was...they might lose. No longer is it enough to have a white skin, male plumbing and a pretty smile to get any kind of job...
