Studies about "gender gaps" do talk about race -- why don't the headlines?
  • Yeah we have problems also you know?

    You know I always fancied myself a relatively 'enlightened' male. I beleive strongly in equality and dismissed as right-wing nonsense the idea that Feminists were anti-men.

    And then I started to read the continuing attacks on the idea that boys are not performing as well as women in school. I mean last time the "proof" it was all nonsense was because someone objected to the idea of women teaching boys at the turn of the last century.

    And now studies showing that there is a problem with race as well.

    Yes there probably is, but does this change all the studies showing that boys are underperforming across most countries?(I am in Australia and we have the samething)

    Why are the authors here so opposed to the very idea that men may have problems as well?
