What the research says

Studies of redshirting have found pros and cons. Some research has found that any boost in achievement fades away as children get older. Redshirting could increase high school dropout rates because older students would reach the legal age for quitting school earlier. It could also disadvantage men by delaying their entry into the job market.

The older students consistently scored higher on tests in third grade and, to a lesser extent, eighth grade. They were more likely to attend college and less likely to go to jail as juveniles. The findings were true for children of all backgrounds, but especially for boys and for children from low-income family. These traits, which girls tend to develop earlier, have been shown to be crucial to academic success.

Children develop this kind of self-control through pretend play, and older children probably spent more time doing that in high-quality, play-based Danish preschools.

A study of 400K children in every state found that those with birthdays just before the kindergarten cutoff were significantly likelier to be diagnosed with ADHD than those with birthdays just after the cutoff.

What else could help, if not redshirting?

A better alternative to redshirting all boys, some researchers said, would be to make it optional for any student so that parents could choose whether it was right for their child, with advice from teachers and the option to attend an extra year of public pre-K.

An easier change, some said, would be to make the cutoff date for kindergarten earlier, so all children would turn 5 at least a few months before they start. Teachers could group classes by birth month, with the older kindergartners together in one class and the younger ones in another.

Also, schools could restore more of the play-based learning — like dress-up, art and nature exploration — that was much more common in kindergarten before 2000.

The American presidential candidate clearly stated it is! Do you agree?

This is so tragic to say a women has to resort to just abortion for her family planning. When there are so many other options.

Like these is just one way to get pregnant and girls are free to say NO during dates!

So many other options but her first and main one is abortion!

Just to be clear I don't think family planning ever needs abortion! A healthy couple waiting for a baby takes other measures throat don't emotionally scar her and risk ruining her ability to have future kids!

Also men are getting their own forms of birth control now. So it's not just up to her!

Before you all get defensive I admit this is a generalization. Not every woman is more selfish than her male counterpart.

However in general I really do believe women are instinctually more selfish than men especially when it comes to relationships. However there are evolutionary factors at play and let me explain.

There was a time in history that in most cultures women had far fewer options than men when it came to employment, political office, business and land ownership, etc in most cultures. They also had some special privileges (not being forced to fight in wars). However they were for the most part completely dependent on men to protect and provide for them and the children. Also before birth control a woman had to be careful who she had sex with. She could get stuck with the baby.

But women always did have one key advantage over men and that was their feminine wiles and sexuality. They could manipulate men through relationships and marriage to get their needs met. Especially if they were attractive.

Women also developed a more callous attitude towards men who they did perceive could benefit them. At best they would ignore these men but they also had to act defensive and suspicious given that these men could harm/rape them. Although chivalry prevented most men from doing something like that there were always unfortunately bad men out there. Women had to be selfish to survive.

Fast forward to modern day. Nowadays western women definitely don’t need men to survive in modern society. In fact if are a woman you will likely have an advantage over a man if all else is equal. Corporations, political offices, etc look to promote women in the name of “gender equality”.

However I do not believe women have generally evolved out of their “self preservation” selfishness. They reject with less shame. They act much more entitled to accept hand outs. They don’t fight fair.

I believe many modern women just can’t admit this hypocrisy due to hard set evolutionary factors.
