I agree, and teachers are naturally biased in my opinion, since we guys are always to blame -_-

We need some elite male Chinese professors from China to come to the US and empower boys, since there are more girls than boys attending higher education in the US.

the reason why men don't attent Universities as frequently as women is that the konowledge from the official science infrastructure is USELESS in the normal life ...

Men have to earn REAL MONEY to secure their families, so they have to do REAL WORK ...

Women can spend times on such stupid and useless things like psychology, sociology, gender studies and the like ...

What I meant was that boys tend to be more physical than girls. They are more into sports, competition and stuff like that. They are more agressive, especially during puberty. Therefore I think it's fair to assume that boys and girls would have a different optimal learning environment.

You find more young males depressed and delinquent these days than females of the same age group. Girls nature seems to be more adapted to cope with this modern society.

Unlike females, males career must not only provide sustenance for themselves, but also determines their mating pool. The more money, the more choice they have. If they lose their job, she can divorce. The mating choices women have are independent of their own career. Women displacing men's careers is a trouble for men.

I agree with you HELP should go to BOTH sexes.

Yes, boys are falling behind, but why do you think that means they all "learn differently". I agree, boys are not "dumber." There is evidence that shows girls and boys are treated differently based on their gender, but where is he evidence for which you speak of?

It's funny how a video about empowering girls is taken as an offense against boys in any way (mostly by people with ridiculous and/or disgusting names). Why not take some of your frustration and use it to help kids, whether boys or girls?
