(1,688 posts)They die younger, they are more likely to be homeless, depressed, be victims of homicide, end up in prison, die in war, commit suicide etc etc. Add to that the stats on education has been falling year after year and nobody lifts a finger. How many years now have education depts been warning us about the poor performance of boys in English/language subjects? this deficiency have been known for years but nothing has been done about it on the other hand women deficiency in maths and sciences has been address to a point where women has reached or surpassed boys in those fields.
Don't you see this power is a double edged sword.
Finally, about the author, I dont see how this topic can be progressive or conservative. Its a social commentary on the sexes that I happen to agree with. Who gives a flipping f**ck what he thinks of other subject? all I know is that I agree with the points made in the video and which he backed up with enough evidence to convince me.
