    In what way is the education system easier for girls to navigate? That doesn’t make sense to me at all.

      the education system changed in the 90s thanks to the no child left behind and other inisitaives that forces tons of standarized testing down kids throads. recess was cut, arts were cut, lunch was cut.

      the past 30 years due to these changes women have greatly outpaced men in educational attainment because they are better suited mentally to being test takers. all the curious, impulsiveness and physical of boys is actively oppressed and dismissed, and frankly, tons of boys are not drugged into submission from as early as 6.

      the diffences in edu performance start from the time they enter school.

      school wasn’t like this 30-40 years ago. we changed education vastly start in the 90s/2000s and now those kids are entering college and teh workforce and we are seeing massive changes in their educations and incomes due to this.

      a further reason is that male teachers have all but disappeared from the educational system apart from high school and coaching roles. there are virtually no male teachers in primary schools or middle schools anymore. further exacerbating and accelerating boys struggles and lack of role models in schools.

      it goes on and on like this. we’ve basically decided to setup our school systems to be for and by women, and the obessiong with testing benefits girls over boys.

      also, don’t worry, the differences in achievement between upper quartile boys and girls is not that bad. if you go to elite rich schools boys/girls are mostly treated the same and perform the same.

      it’s most the bottom 3/4s of the economic ladder where this goes on. women from single parent househoulds do WAY better than boys from single parent households.

      but hey, don’t let all this complicated facts and social changes get in the way or your political beliefs! let’s just explain all tehse social trends doucmented for decades away as boys are stupid incels who just need to vote for democrats and magically they will be able to get to college and get good jobs.

        Do you have sources for this?

              On average that’s the male experience. It’s genetics. Not for every individual as you clearly understand, but population statistics are pretty telling that there are huge differences between development and behaviors.

                  Well first, it’s not necessarily the case it should be changed. No doubt we don’t fully understand, since we don’t fully understand how brains work. There may be very good reason we evolved to be the way we are, as it’s very possible that a single type of person cannot make the overall society successful as a whole. It also doesn’t mean our current systems work for everyone. It may mean that on average, we’d be best to have 2 different school structures to suit more types of people better. And no matter what, nothing can work for everyone. There will alway be outliers.
