Hi, I'm a teacher. The young men I see 'villainized' tend to make their own life harder by feeling entitled to money and status without actually trying to achieve anything. Their entitlement then causes them to act in unpleasant ways.
I don't see many young men being treated badly simply because of their chromosomes or external genitalia.
Sounds like you're saying that if a man goes to the bathroom and washes his hands he is villainized. After all, washing your hands is a step in a procedure.
You probably don't mean that. Maybe you are employing hyperbole to make a point. Please explain.
Seeing as you're a teacher, how do you rationalize less men getting into higher education? When boys are performing worse than girls in school, do you just pretend this isn't statistically and factually happening to them so that you can continue to ignore it's maybe the signs of a problem.
Maybe you don't see it, because you don't want too?
What the hell is this thread?
This article is about issues like abortion pulling more women into progressive politics.
Some sad turd had to make it about men. There's always one.
You mean where more young men are choosing to go into the trades, where women are generally harassed out of, instead of college?
I bet there’s still plenty of young men going into comp sci, which is also famously hostile to women.
The gender ratio in compsci in my institution is around 8:2 male:female.
My software engineering major was about 15:1.
My partners software development teacher, who was also a woman, told her in respect to the men who were being hostile to her "get used to it, because it will be the same in the workplace."
Sadly, some women are reluctant to help each other.
While there’s not enough context here, they do need to get used to it. Of course, help a student out in the current situation but the fact is they are going to experience sexism and do need to figure out how to handle it on their own or how to find any help they need.
I don’t like denigrating my fellow software engineers, but it’s a field known to be male dominated, with a stereotype of poor social skills and presence of a lot of people from more conservative cultures. I like to think most of us are neither sexist most racist but odds are most women in the field will run into it
Ah, very clever. You're trying to paint the issue of "performing worse" as "happening to them", as if boys are being oppressed.
Please do keep on revealing your biases in your language, I find it fascinating. Oh, and do make sure to tell all the boys and young men around that you don't hold them accountable for their own actions, because they apparently have no power over how well they perform. I guess all those naughty girls and women are firing their filthy female mind rays at them, taking away their ability to do homework and revise for exams.
Are boys actually performing worse in school in a way that is in control of the teachers tho? Its not like teachers can chain children to books until their learn the kid has to want to learn either way.
