Maybe because more women are working in the corporate world? Nah, that can't be it. Can it?
Oh, look. More male privilege:
Boys are being outclassed by girls at both school and university, and the gap is widening
Once in the classroom, boys long to be out of it. They are twice as likely as girls to report that school is a “waste of time”, and more often turn up late. Just as teachers used to struggle to persuade girls that science is not only for men, the OECD now urges parents and policymakers to steer boys away from a version of masculinity that ignores academic achievement. “There are different pressures on boys,” says Mr Yip. “Unfortunately there’s a tendency where they try to live up to certain expectations in terms of [bad] behaviour.”There is little for boys or young men in education these days as the institutions are female-oriented in their concerns, style, and structure. This should hardly be news to anyone who has observed educational trends over the last 25 years. Couple that with bizarre dictates on the part of college and university administrations using orientation workshops that identify college-age men as potential predators and rapists and what is created is a remarkably unwelcoming, even hostile, environment for boys and men.
Give me $10,000 a year per male student and I could turn them into scholar-gentlemen who could quote Shakespeare, solve for x, construct a house, speak in public [and in two languages, at least], enjoy learning and excel in most any situation in which they would find themselves. Unfortunately, since my program would not satisfy educational nannies and Title IX bureaucrats, it would have no use in the current century.
