School Gender Gap

New studies find that female students are performing better in school than their male counterparts. Are the boys falling behind, or are the girls just excelling? What is causing the trend? Host Patty Satalia and a group of experts discuss these questions.

@PimpernellP Agreed. I also think that women should have to register. Formally, the punishments are much harsher than you list, including very large fines. We know the fate of protesters such as Cassius Clay (boxer).

Women clearly do not want equality.  They want female supremacy. The current path to that is more legal protections and privileges only for women while increasing the restrictions on male behavior.

I think everyone here is missing the bigger picture -- the reason men aren't going to the PTA meetings and drown themselves in sports is the enethetize themselves from drudgery of their societally cemented role of provider. If men stayed at home while women worked 60 hours a week in a sweaty factory I bet men wouldn't mind going to PTA meetings, or reading, or .... It's awfully pompous to expect a man to carry such a burden - don't you?

Tom Martin is suing Europe's largest gender studies department, for its use of male-blaming bias, blocking men's equality issues debates.

The court hearing date is on March 13th.

Read all the press, listen to the interviews, and watch the YT vid, and if you want to help, donate to the legal fighting fund at sexismbusters.

@fileboy2002 - I don't know if these feminist are deliberately man-hating feminists but that doesn't matter. The point of feminism today is female superiority. I can send you a link to a plethora of news articles that have been collected over the years to support this claim. Check your inbox for the link. I think many feminists don't understand what they are involved in. It's not about gender equality anymore. That's been passed 10 fold now.

[fileboy2002]

@NautyKnight  If there's PLENTY of evidence, then please, please show me some! Show me EVIDENCE that 90% of teachers are man-hating feminists. Show me EVIDENCE that feminism is holding boys back. Please show me EVIDENCE that ANYTHING you are saying is true! Saying "everybody knows" and simply repeating your claims over and over and over again is not evidence!

[NautyKnight]

@fileboy2002 - You're really fucking dumb! You know exactly what I'm talking about so quit acting so fucking ignorant! There's PLENTY of evidence and there's many male educators who have come forward and admitted that feminism is what's holding boys back in school. There's no encouragement for boys to succeed. It's all been given to the girls. From the way they're taught to the very environment of the classroom. It's all feminized. Many males educators are calling for gender segregated schools!

[fileboy2002]

@NautyKnight "Everybody knows" no such thing. Everything did not "get feminized" in the 1970s (what does that even mean?). And while the majority of teachers are women, they are not "90% or more." Plus, the vast majority of female teachers are NOT feminists. Once again, you show you have no command of the facts. You have no evidence. All you have is some deep hatred of feminism, or whatever you think feminism is. You don't know what you're talking about.

@fileboy2002 Well i think girls are more encouraged by society by everyone including feminists.However the problem is why arent boys being encouraged as well, again it seemsthat boys get harrassed for getting good grades in school and being a nerd while the jocks who are physically superior and better at sports get all the praise. Its usually not until boys leave school that they realise that real men do take their work seriously and so thats when they apply themselves but sometimes its too late

[NautyKnight]

Headlines like, "Girls are smarter than boys", "Women are better than men", "Women make better bosses", "The End of Men", "Girls are stronger than boys", "Girls rule, boys drool" clearly show the intent of feminism. Ever since the 1970s, there have been HUGE drives and pushes to help girls dominate boys and leave them behind. They even coined the phrase, "Girl power". That's sounds a lot like "White power" but only gendered. It's a supremacist cry to encourage females to dominate over males.

@papertreegun - Athletics and academics have nothing to do with each other. Athletics are an after school program and they actually help kids learn because they keep kids active and healthy. The problem is that schools are run by hardcore liberal feminists who hate sports and typically downgrade boys while they upgrade girls. Not to mention that the schools are ALL heavily feminized or the fact that girls are always encouraged to succeed while boys are neglected to succeed on their own.

[NautyKnight]

@fileboy2002 - Oh please! Everybody knows that feminism has completely overrun the liberalized school system. Like 90% or more of teachers today are women and most of them are hardcore liberals with feminist ideologies of the future. Everything in schools became feminized in the 1970s and that by its nature makes it more difficult for boys to learn. It's a roadblock for boys and an express lane to learning for girls. The fact is, everybody encourages girls to best boys but never the other way.
