Where are the feminists?

Take a look at this thread. Someone took an issue in society, and instead of making an OP geared towards discussion about the subject and how we can solve it, the OP was framed in such a way as to complain why feminists supposedly don't care about it. Do you consider feminists supposedly not caring about this problem as a bigger issue than the problem itself?

Pretty ironic if you were to ask me.

It is part of the problem, though.  If you have tons of advocacy groups on one side, with politicians falling over themselves to get PR for helping girls in math and science, but with nothing on the other, it leads to disparity.  Especially when feminist groups are still denying that there is a problem.

To some, this boy crisis is difficult to accept. “Boys will be just fine . . . it’s girls and women we still have to concentrate on,” a feminist colleague said recently during a rather heated “boy gap” discussion.

I do agree, however, that the OP's priorities are out of wack.  I did try to talk about the problem but it's hard to combat that OP for attention.
