Illinois Loop: Gender Bias
".Boys seem to be slipping further and further behind. .. The reason is nothing other than the wholesale feminisation of the education system. .. The evidence suggests that boys and girls learn in different ways. .. Nevertheless, education policy denies such differences .. The result was active discrimination against boys. .. This was not only wrong in itself. It was also disastrous for boys. .. But rather than celebrating male characteristics, society tells boys at every turn that it’s values have turned female, and that if boys want any place in it they must do so too. Thus, male characteristics are derided. Warfare is said to be obscene. Authority is oppressive. Chivalry is a joke. Competition creates losers — taboo in education, where everyone must be a winner. Stoicism is despised; instead, tears must flow and hearts be worn on sleeves at all times."
