35,000 more girls than boys go to university each year: How do we fix the gender gap in education?

[@iluv2b]

Unfortunately, the propensity for disturbed males to identify as women seems to be helping to bridge the gap.

[@run2cat4run]

How is 0.35 % of the British population bridged the gap?! Lol

[@tastypymp1287]

​@@run2cat4runThey said 'helped' bridge the gap. Do keep up.

[@OrangeeTang]

Can we have all boys schools back. Nothing beats competition and contact sports such as football, rugby, boxing have been seen in a negative light, but it develops testosteroned fueled boys. In my experience working with young lads there seems to be issues with adhd, autism, dyslexia and other learning effected undiagnosed issues, but given practical skills i.e. engineering, carpentry, welding and mechanics (Mathematics and science heavy education) they flourish and it is a sight to behold when all that doubt recedes and their self-confidence grows. Male learning focused discipline, mentoring and education is required for young men and boys, especially those lacking positive male role models in their lives. The west's obsession with the persecution of male traits is a disgusting form of social engineering that has spiralled out of control.

[@adenwellsmith6908]

The competition approach is what my son's all boys school does. So he's now joining up to the air cadets so he can learn to shoot guns etc.

[@martynblackburn9632]

You are talking rubbish.

[@sunsetexplorer63936]

No thank you. Contact sports have always been my idea of hell.

[@tastypymp1287]

​@@martynblackburn9632You would say that. Because of your Oppositional Defiance Disorder.

[@tastypymp1287]

​@@sunsetexplorer63936That's more of a reflection on you.

[@aletheia358]

Yes, we definitely need to send even more folk into the groomer factories that are our universities. So much better than them learning a trade and useful skills.

[@T5Zplayer]

Boys have been undermined in school for decades by men hating teachers. We moved our son out of one school for that exact reason. Now in his final year at Uni. Same problem existed at my last employer, women given a free pass and promoted. A more obvious example is men's sport. Every football programme fronted by some cute blonde/brunette, commentators in role just because they have a uterus.

[@TaxingIsThieving]

Did Mrs Robinson make his little balls shrivel?

[@Imperial_Boltgun]

Men have more sense than to waste time at university. We have real jobs that need doing.

[@MrBottomrung]

University should be for true academics. Not Blair’s dumbing down of education.

[@martynblackburn9632]

True academics?

[@MrBottomrung]

@@martynblackburn9632 yes that’s tricky to understand lol!

[@Codysdab]

​@@martynblackburn9632he means STEM, not degrees like gender studies or esports

[@JohnofthefamilySmith]

The EU converted all the old technical colleges into universities to scam the people.

[@martynblackburn9632]

The bigotry of marginalising subjects you think are "useless" or "pointless". In truth none of those subjects are actually useless or pointless.@@Codysdab

[@paradox7358]

Can't be letting things like the truth get in the way of the narrative.

[@run2cat4run]

And lets blame women for men downfall lol

[@tastypymp1287]

What truth is that?

[@heavenlyclouds1337]

they talk so much about girl, power, empowering women. What about young boys why not empower them?? it’s all about squashing the males in this whole thing of empowering women. it makes me sick.

[@run2cat4run]

We do let boys run wild

[@tastypymp1287]

​@@run2cat4runDo we?

[@adenwellsmith6908]

Raise the bar for Girls. Lower it for white working class boys. Isn't that the current approach?

[@martynblackburn9632]

It would be woke to address that injustice.

[@T5Zplayer]

Smacks of matriarchal oppression to me.

Equal to the unequal, unequal to the unequal.

[@doriangray6985]

The gap is not that bad as 30,000 of the girls are trans 😅

[@anthonyperrin3411]

You dont. Girls mature far earlier than boys. Boys want to walk round with low skung jeans talking ska and black lingo ..... forget 'em, lost cause. Sadly.

[@mark-wm3vz]

I know how if you fix the gap in the infrastructure and the intensly laborious jobs market then the college and university numbers would fix themselves but men dont want that we just want to live love and protect invent and build
