@kelleynice how old are you really? You post about things that 13 year old just don't even perceive or comprehend but you seem to have a very adult perspective on just about every thing... hummmm? IKR?
Boys are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than girls (12.9% compared to 5.6%).
www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/data.html
So let me tell you the deal back in the 1980's if you were a strong willed hyper active kid, you were just an asshole until you grew out of it. So you got older you learned out to control it and more positively manage and funnel that energy in more productive ways.
But in the might to late 90's Bill Clinton passed some type of education bill (I can't remember its name and I am not going to research it now) that provided additional funding to schools based upon the number of specials needs children they had.
Previously under Regan schools got money for academic achievement. But these were schools in areas that could afford special programs... because schools were funded by property taxes, places with higher property taxes in areas with higher cost of living had better funded schools. At the same time you never saw kids in schools with sever learning is abilities or wheel chairs, they had completely different schools and classes for those kids. The were not in the general population of students.
Clinton and the bleeding hearts thought it was really unfair and that every kid should have equal opportunity despite their handicap, even though nature already decided they would not have an equal opportunity by virtue of their handicap. People in my date never wanted their kids to be diagnosed with a condition or handicap because then they would be sent to the specials school... ever see Forest Gump? His mother did what she had to do to keep him in a normal school.
So now under Clinton schools would get money for special needs kids, and these kids would be integrated into normal classes and class rooms. During the same time frame they increased to told number of conditions that would qualify as special needs... so this is when ADHD started to become popular. Schools promoted it because it made it easier to deal with kids when they were being drugged, and they got additional school funding because ADAH qualified as a special needs kids.
More times than not guys were being diagnosed 3 to 1 with ADHD compared to girls. Because more time than not girls have a more passive nature than boys, and young boy are in general more rambunctious and harder to deal with.
So by drugging these kids at a young age to "overcome" their "disability", they were never forced to develop any productive methods to deal with their hyper active nature, other than taking a pill. So as these kids hit adulthood they eventually realized the true effects these drugs were having on their personality and mental state. Throughout their adolescents years they never developed cooping mechanism, and stunted their mental or emotion development. So now they were full grown adults struggling with depression and mental health issues.
It may be see by some that at the moment it benefits girls and women, but in the future is may be seen as extremely short-sighted as many of the ADHD diagnosis's will probably be found to be in error because they will have been sought at the behest of women teachers who find themselves unable to cope with boys leaning in a totally different fashion to girls and the teachers being unable to handle it.
And with the precipitous drop of men attending College/University with the exception of those men doing courses in STEM fields,
Women are seeing the dating pools shrink, with few if any marriage prospects for the future as they will be want men with higher degrees than they have,
and men just not interested in dating because they want to get their degrees done in the shortest time possible thus reducing the size of any loans they take out.
and men also seeing College/University as a hostile environment, where they are only tolerated because of the degrees they pay for even then they are second class citizens who have few if any rights while there.
Men have realised that they can attend a Trade/Technical School while doing an apprenticeship and earning a descent wage at the same time and be student loan free and be four years ahead on the corporate ladder of those coming out of College/University, and if they need extra qualifications they can gain them through remote learning, the old model of HAVING to go to College/University to get a decent job is if not dead then dying.
And it is those who have precipitated the war against boys and young men in Public Schools and College/University, who are of a certain mind set who are to blame, but when it comes around to apportion that blame those persons will have disappeared.
No. It started with medicating boys and teachers having an easier time in the classroom. As one teacher explained her stance, "We're just trying to survive." She was referring to getting through her lesson plan each day, uninterrupted and without having to go into explanations or deal with any emotional outbursts (all part of the life of a child especially when you put 18 or 20 of them together in a structured environment for 6 hours a day).
As far as colleges go, more and more women are seeking a formal education. Relying on one person's income is risky because divorce rates are high. It's tough for women to get hired as a roofer, plumber, or mechanic.
No, not at all.
To my incredible surprise, even in this modern age, women STILL want men who are in a higher financial space, who are strong and confident, and who are educated. Neo-feminism is VERY bad for those of us trying to find a good mate.

No it doesn't benefit girls and women because the elites want to create a society where the strongest people, strong and stoic men, are wiped out, and no one is left to resist them or disobey. And this has been going on since at least the year 2000, if not longer. I won't mince words with you just because you're thirteen years old, OP. You're clearly intelligent enough to handle them.
Do you know what Active Measures is? Yuri Bezmenov? He said it takes a good 15-20 years to brainwash an entire generation into hating their country and becoming weak and useless men. This was accomplished by 2015. All the Safe Space, Hug Box BS going on in universities. And while it wasn't the KGB/Russia trying to destroy America, and by extension, the entire West, it was people far worse than one Communist government, that operate in the shadows. Well, Klaus Schwab USED to operate in the shadows.
But yeah, the real target was men; women weren't needed to be targeted because in war, women are weak and can't do anything. Women (while essential for society) do not built, maintain, or protect society.
And they actually gained more and more targets since then under the bigotry of social justice/"wokeness." First it was men. Then conservative white men. Then all white men. Then white people in general. Then Asians in general. Then they even started attacking blacks and Hispanics who weren't far-left/Progressive. Now, almost everyone is seen as "a Trump supporting Nazi."
Hell, look at modern society. We have a bunch of useless, talentless, foul, uneducated, entitled, awful girls joining OnlyFans as soon as they turn 18, and then thinking society should kiss their behinds and reward them for being useless c*m dumpsters to the world. They call it "female empowerment." All of this, while MOST young men under 40 are single and can't find a partner because every woman thinks she's a 10 out of 10 and deserves a 25 year old Elon Musk to worship her while she e-whores herself on the internet.
And this is nothing new, either. There's a reason sluts are "slut shamed" (I don't even "slut shame;" I just admit they aren't good or useful people to society). It's because they don't contribute to families. And anything that hurts families, hurts the future of a culture. That's the super-simple version of it.
Feminism is one of the most "toxic" destructive, hateful, and nasty ideologies to ever exist (not as bad as Islam, but still almost as hateful). You spend 12 years propping up third and fourth wave feminism, while shaming, harassing, MeToo'ing, and Canceling normal young men for being normal young men (as opposed to being soyboys, cuckolds, and simps), and you beat the masculinity out of a society.
These are men who ALREADY likely grew up without a father or strong role model, me included. And now, you intentionally keep them from higher education, from success, and from forming romantic attachments with decent women because it's now considered "sexual harassment or rape" to ask a woman out or call her pretty?
Meanwhile, you're turning decent young women into useless sluts, whores, and c*m dumpsters under the guise of 'female empowerment." Then these women end up used and unwanted by the time they hit 35, bitching "where have all the good men gone" now that their looks have faded, as if anyone but the biggest simps and losers would want a woman like that, who disrespected them and continues to be a terrible life partner.
But no, society says you're supposed to be a good paypig, simp, loser, and beta male to terrible, disgusting, shameless women with no value to society, anyway. Even simps and cucks on this site are "still alive" when it comes to self-emasculation.
This is a lot to take in, but the TL;DR is: They want to collapse society. The easiest way to collapse something is to destroy its foundation. So they targeted strong men and the nuclear family unit. And propped up angry, bitter women, who are unfit to run society. That is why.
The female population might feel better represented in education, specially in colleges and in fields traditionally seen as male-dominated, media and politics. The issue is that this support often comes with a cost, of basically putting the male popularion's minds through a grinder since their youth. Some don't know stuff like this happens while some say that it's a fair price to pay because of "history".
The truth is that it'll be a shit show when this backfires. It's not a question of if anymore. The men making up this generation have been conditioned to reject masculinity and every other value that's built society. Do you think these men can sacrifice themselves for society when hard times come? I'll go further: those who still can aren't willing to, and rightfully so. Women create these men but they're not attracted to them, so making up families will be an even bigger issue in the future. People will only notice the seriousness of this mistake when shit hits the fan.
Young girls also get more attention from teachers than boys. Women have higher rates of college graduation.
Saying college being a hostile environment to men is understatement. I remember my college dorm having nonstop feminist propaganda all over the walls. Many of our ârequiredâ courses were very anti male.
And that was almost 2 decades ago. I canât imagine what itâs like now.
Anyway my fathers generation had this attitude of âoh just ignore it (feminist bs). No one really cares about these people anyway. They will never get anywhere in the real worldâ. But these people ARE getting their way in the âreal worldâ. They are radically influencing corporate culture and politics.
Anyway this isnât to say men âwantâ to hold women down through so called âpatriarchyâ. The vast majority of us have zero problem and are actually proud of women who excel (as long as they didnât abuse special privileges in the process). But feminists canât help but tear into men all they can.
There is no war on boys.
The statistics you are reporting are about education.
There is a war on education and that is being conducted by the GOP because less informed voters are easier to lie to. And boys, being more naturally animous to authorities they don't like, yet more easily persuaded by authorities they want to believe in are quite often siding with the GOP in their war on education.
The GOP isn't alone in this. Think of other hyperconservative societies such as Muslim countries in which girls are denied education. Look at what the Taliban is once again doing in Afghanistan.

You see, when you give people an education, you arm them. You are arming them with information and information = power... power to defend themselves and power to attack... and most importantly, the power to refuse being controlled.
The Taliban knows this.
They want a return to conservative Islamic principles in which girls grow up to become nice obedient subservient Muslim wives just like Islam teaches them.
And what does the GOP want (among other things)?
They want a return to conservative Christian principles in which girls grow up to become nice obedient subservient Christian wives just like the Bible teaches them.
Back to the "War on Boys", unscrupulous men are boys who grew up and understand how to manipulate boys into thinking exactly what they want them to think. And what these men want these boys to think is that education is bad for them. Education is not bad for the boys - it's bad for these men if the boys get the education.
Persecution of men and boys might seem to help women in the short term, however positive masculinity is required for a culture to thrive.
Men are the ones who take on the intense and difficult physical jobs that maintain the infrastructure of society. Electrical workers, construction, bricklayers, all the hot sweaty, painful and uncomfortable jobs that women aren't exactly lining up for. They do them for the love of their family and the good of all.
The inclusion of women into the full time workforce as a norm rather than an option has actually driven down individual wages for both sexes, and resulted in the decline of the middle class.
Women aren't happy as housewives, because their husbands usually can't earn enough by themselves to give a good standard of living, nor are they happy working as an equal along side their men. The drive to marry up remains and now we're seeing an unprecedented number of single women in their thirties rushing to have last minute children, or simply having none at all.
With the diminished economic value of men, we struggle to fulfill the traditional role of provider protector, and so many women choose to be single mothers instead. Their children having no concept of a positive masculine role model further accelerates social degeneration.
When viewed from this perspective it's easy to see why Marxists like this situation. As their stated goal is the destruction of all power structures outside their own, the traditional family included.
It's a sad loveless way to live.
Well you have to understand what's really going on when I was in the third or fourth grade I knew right then and there that women are smarter than men they are going to take over the world and that is because of one thing when you were at that age and you're sitting in your desk and you're daydreaming this is the time where guys start getting their daily hard on they try to control it but they can't at that time and when the teacher asks a question in my school your to raise your hand she calls on you you stand up and you give your answer or she will just call on you and you stand up and you give your answer I don't know how many times did the teacher would call my name and want me to stand up and answer the question whether I knew the answer or not there's no way I could stand up because you would see that I had a hard on it would totally piss me off or embarrassed me because I would know the answer and the next thing I know she would scold me and then she would pick a girl and the girl would stand up answer the question and I would just say why why is this happening to me LOL but that holds so many guys back from doing what they should be doing and connecting with the teacher and the class and becoming smarter but once it starts happening your mind goes a whole different direction because of embarrassment are trying to control your heart on and I believe it's probably still going on to this day the boys are going through this and it sucks
I work at a university, it's starting to look like an all women college. We past 68% women last year and it would be much worse if it wasn't for the fact that the majority of foreign student are men filling in the gap.
Some majors have no men in them but the University has been slow to adopt any programs (like they did for women in engineering etc) to help men enter these fields. Teachers college has 3600 students, I took micro and macroeconomics classes in an auditorium class of nearly 400 and was the only guy. We only have two male nurses, and men are now the minority in chemical engineering.
There are 30,000 students here.
No. Thereâs already some likely unforeseen repercussions. Despite womenâs liberation and feminism, most straight women still insist a man makes more than them. With so many women investing time, energy and money going to college and getting into a high-paying career, when they slow down to meet Mr. Right their dating pool is cut way down. The men who actually do make more than those women have their pick of women, and âtop earningâ is attractive to women, not men. Those men will likely choose someone younger, more attractive and vivacious, and who is more than happy with their earnings potential. Hell, even men who make the same as these older, fussier women will by then have their pick by comparison. Unless a woman can be satisfied with someone who earns the same as her or less, or can be happy with herself, her career and her friends and coworkers, she may eventually lament the forfeiture of her love life.
It does not benefit women or men. Because in a lot of ways it's yet another back and forth issue to add on top of the rest. You can look at many issues on the political and social sphere and you will see that many people on both sides of a given issue have developed a my way or the highway attitude. So bargaining, compromise, finding a middle ground and various other things needed to make any kind of real progress towards a solution are simply no longer options. So the issues will continue to go unsolved and the negative effects of them will simply get worse.
Even in elementary schools they teach them to hate boys/men, not trust them, and they discipline them harsher for the same offenses. I have personally witnessed that multiple times from school staff, fellow teachers, and even a principal too. That was here in California. It may be different elsewhere.
ADHD is mostly false. Most of the students that have behavioral problems that were blamed on that somehow magically can control; themselves without medication when they have a consistent and fair teacher.
I think that it is sad. I don't think women or men should be put down due to gender. I think girls should have EQUAL opportunities not special ones. Women have proven that they are perfectly capable of doing most of what a man can do.
So there is no reason for special treatment. It simply isn't far to boys and tells girls that they can't do anything on their own.
We should not be at war with each other but all love each other and want what is best for each other. So I encourage you to give strong encouragement to both your male and female peers and help them and support them through what they need to do.
Stand up for what you think is right. I have read your bio and know that you aren't going to public schools but as smart as you are you could seriously help a LOT of people. So talk to people and help them.
God bless and thank you for being a truly amazing person.
It's terrible for all of us, including women. But unfortunately many (most?) women today are too self-centered, victim-minded and short-sighted to see how it will destroy our society. It's an enormous problem that is coming at us like a freight train but most people are too ignorant to see how it will affect them directly.
Here's a great article by a guy from whom I would not expect something like this. If you want to see some true ignorance, read the comments from females that follow the article.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/02/08/andrew-yang-boys-are-not-all-right/
It does not benefit women.
What the feminists have done in try to turn little boys into girls and we have created a generation of confused weakling men. No women will be attracted to this and thus we will have to listen to more women complian about how they are disgusted with modern men and there lack of masculinity.
Women tend to want someone that makes more money than they do... that's out the window.
Women that would prefer a masculine mand... most of that is out the window.
Educated... mostly out the window.
Naw, I think females in the younger groups are going to have a slimmer and slimmer chance of finding long term loving relationships.
If this is true, maybe males just don't like is being offered to learn about. I mean, if I were a guy I wouldn't want to get lessons on how to be a drag queen.
They might be going to trade schools instead of college. College is not for everyone and never has been.
Nope.
Just look up the ridiculous articles women are writing about there not being enough eligible men anymore. Meanwhile 39% of all men in the US are single, most women provide no value, have kids, and are sleeping with several men and blaming men for the position they have put themselves into. Women entering the workforce en mass is the worst thing that could have ever happened for women; the moment both men and women started working, the value of labor stagnated meaning that men would no longer be able to provide since the combined household income doubled and devalued the dollar.
Every aspect of feminism has made life worse for women in the long term; and I support women being able to work if they want, vote, and drive. But women weren't happy with equality and seeing what happens when women get equality has made me unhappy with women being equal. Life is not a fucking game, stop acting like it is.
I have not once experienced hostility towards males in both schools and universities and i am having doubts, that these exist on a very large scale.
Are we being taught mostly useless stuff and sometimes propaganda in various educational facilities? Definitely. And some of us pay the tuition fee to be told such nonsense.
But that is how the rulers of our society make us go through these hoops if we want to have that piece of paper, that acts like a pass for a vacancy paying more than McDonald's and the worst part is that most employers are pretty much shallow about requiring a higher education of nonsense and propaganda.
The war on boys and men cannot benefit girls and women in any meaningful way. And, in fact, that is not the real reason. The real reason is to turn men into defanged obedient serfs that will not rise up against the leaders when the economy collapses and conditions become almost as harsh as the the conditions in North Korea.
In the short term yes, in the long term no. When women get to the age that they want to have men in there lives, all there will be is boys and impulsive men that won't settle down but instead will use women as flesh holes and more women will die alone.
Iâm so proud of you for reading that. Have you seen the 20th anniversary edition, or Warren Farrelâs boy crisis?
