The New Gender Gap

[Martin]

very long, but very intesting article about what's been happening to boys over the last 20-30 years.

I personally find it quite hard to sympathize. I did really well in ES/HS and I am doing well (so far) in university. I don't see why guys can't succeed, even if the environment is a little biased in favour of girls.

I think it's great, i noticed in high school that the girls that had positions actually took their role seriously (well as seriously as you can take high school) while the guys in positions were usually jocks who did it for a boost for their transcripts.

The company I work for is woman-ownen and woman-managed. This enables them to get contracts from the government only available to businesses like that.

Of course, I'm male and the pay is decent so I'm not gonna complain.

So Ivy League schools are intentionally keeping women out? I knew there was something wrong with my EE classes, where there were the same number of X chromosomes as Y chromosomes present

i stopped reading it halfway through... too depressing

 

[jimmyhaha]

heck...

nothing new.

traditionally, girls are rated inferior to boys => thus less pressure

less pressure = better perfromance

heck, life will be much easier if we are all asexual, no STD, no sex, no divorce...

Yep, I think I'm one of those underachievers in the 'sink group'...

At my high school, the girls always had the better grades..the guys never really seemed to care as much, even if some of them were smarter, they were all lazier than the girls. And the majority of our student government was girls. The thing that ticked me off though as that at the end of the year, girls would win about 70% of the coed awards, and then they had girl only awards!?! How is that fair? I think people probably donated money to the school (it was a private one) for an award and said it had to go to a female, but I just thought that was a crock..
