Girls perform better in school than boys. According to this article, approximately 2/3 of Uni students are now female.

Feminists are about equality. So where are the feminists who are trying to help boys get closer to girls in the world of academia?

Also of note, is that boys performed better when the teachers did not know the gender of those whose papers they were marking.

Thoughts?

It's not about equality it's about Women > Men

feminists defends equality FOR Women. They are here to help right the injustices and prejudices women are the victim of. They have enough on their plate.

The men not being enough in Uni is not because some people thinks they don't have their place there, it's just that they drop out more easily.


Feminazis wants Women to be superior to men. But that's another debate.

And BTW, next time, read your own article first. Everything is explained in it

Or just watch the video.  Literally verbatim. 

This! I don't think I have ever seen or met a feminist who doesn't think like that.

Why so many topics about feminism? Feminists are about womens rights (well duh) that's going to be their focus, that's their deal, if men want to do the same I don't see them stopping anyone.

Just my two cents but I think a lot of this stems from sexual frustration on some people's behalf.

Like I don't give a shit, quite frankly, I've never had any of my rights trampled on by a woman. The small minority of guys that I find are most bitter about this stuff quite frankly are the ones who can't get laid (and vice versa too, "men haters" are usually women that can't get fucked).

Then you've never seen or met a feminist.  Feminism by definition is pursuit of equality (Women|Men); Women>Men is the formula of misandry and there is no overlap.

"If you want equal rights for both men and women, you are a feminist." --Props to Teeqoz for saying it better.

Not this. The statement is absolute bullshit. It is by definition wrong.  If you want equal rights for both men and women, you are a feminist.

The article itself is bogus.

1) no citations. Fishy enough

2) just read the article. Are people serious? Has anyone seen the third reason? I'm sure boys don't struggle because they think they're "too cool for school".

3) This is talking about struggling students, not students in general. It said that in the beginning. I think OP should clarify.


Also, since I'm still young, I've realized that the education system has changed massively. Perhaps there's something that occurred from the day I was born to now that has caused a massive decline in the results of many men(which the media doesn't talk about for an odd reason). I'd hate to be an idiot and just hate on women. I'd like to see everyone succeed, regardless of gender. Just seeing the comments shows a lot of things that would improve the conversation.




Also, it's funny how this works. Women now have an advantage in the education system. Within 5-10ish years they'll also have an advantage in the economical world. They already have a word in the world of politics, so eventually they'll gain advantages there. Sounds a lot like Europe if you ask me. Let's just hope we don't end up like europe and improve for the better.
