I agree with YOU... but DON'T be deceived by CHS she is a feminist SHILL undercover. She condescends against boys every chance she gets. BOYS DO NOT HAVE learning problems. BOYS never had learning problems until wo-MEN took over the schools. In fact, BOYS have 10% larger brains than girls by the age of 15 and 5 points higher IQ...

Women connect to women, men connect to men. The only time the opposite gender connects to the opposite gender is when people have siblings of the opposite gender. I don’t have any siblings but I have A’s and B’s which doesn’t show what I am interested in, it shows that I’m a good student not what I like. I feel like if students could graduate high school based on what they like, our country would be better off than with the current school system. And also have certain gender males for classes because there are things men can do that women can’t and there are things women can do that men can’t. Then there is also the things that men and women can do. The army is something that use to be men only, but now women can join even though we need women to get more kids which the replacement rate is supposed to be 2.1 kids, but in America it is 1.9.

I've been a teacher for 23 years, and have only worked with a few fellow men. Once an older colleague retired, I became the only male teacher in our school system K-8. I have been told by some students I was the first male classroom teacher I've ever had, and I teach 8th grade. I've had quips thrown out at me by my female colleagues like "well, you're a man, so you wouldn't understand" or "sorry I have to repeat that, but you're a typical man and were ignoring me" or "the kids just behave for you differently because you're a man". Now, imagine if I said a parallel comment to any of these to my female coworkers?? Yes, schools are supremely feminized environments. Kids in a poorer community like mine come to school to female authority and supervision, and too often go home to female authority and supervision only. Part of boys acting out is because they're seeking the attention they are literally never getting from their female teachers. The interesting thing that has also played out is having female students drawn to me because they, too, lack male role models or a balance of masculinity to the femininity in their lives. It's painfully obvious. Thank you for bringing this out in the open.

I haven't been a kid in school for a looooong time, but back when I was in highscool, one of my good friends and I used to push each other around a lot just for fun. We got to the point where we'd do it when the other wasn't expecting it because you could push them further if they weren't braced and ready for it. There was no malice or anger or anything, we were great friends, we just liked to push each other. Anyway, one day after we ate lunch together, we were walking to our next class and I suddenly pushed him really hard. He flew back so far, that he crashed through a window and fall on the ground on the other side of it, which was inside a classroom that was in progress so it scared a lot of people who didn't know what was going on when this guy suddenly burst through the window and fell on the floor. He was not injured at all. He was wearing his backpack loaded with thick heavy books and they were what crashed into the window and broke it, and pushed all that glass out of his way as he went. I immediately ran to go check on him to make sure he was alright, because I was worried since he broke that window maybe he got hurt, or at the very least cut up by glass, but he was fine, then we started laughing about it. We got grabbed by a teacher and taken to speak with the principal as well as the school counselor. This tiny little black lady, who was very sweet, who sat us down and began to ask us why we were fighting. We kind of looked at each other and laughed and told her what happened. That we were just pushing each other around and we're friends, there was no fight. She understood and looked relieved. Ultimately, we didn't get in any trouble at all, the school just made our parents pay to fix the window and that was that. Even our parents didn't mind too much, they weren't happy about having to pay to fix that window (although it was only like $75 each) but we'd never really gotten in trouble before so they basically just let us go because we weren't exactly trouble makers where this was a routine thing. Additionally, without anyone telling us this, we both agreed to not push each other anymore because we saw the potential consequences of it and didn't want to go through it again, so instead we just ramped up our competitions in PE. Who could run faster, who could do more pushups and situps and pullups, etc. Had a friendly rivalry where we pushed each other to get better and stronger and faster. I haven't thought about this in years, but your story reminded me of it. I'm so glad I went to school in a place and at a time where you could just be yourself without all this modern new age BS oppressing your every thought and action

She should talk with her friends, cook dinner, clean a house and give head. All as silent as possible bs exhausted male needs a rest. You know what toxic masculinity is? Making everything a competition. Loosing way and never asking anybody how to get where you want bc it’s unmanly. Never going to a doctor bc it’s unmanly. Always wanting to be right. Being aggressive and humiliating people and then when they break - making fun of them. And pretending you work for your family and this is why you have no time for said family. It s Big fat crap. Men who say these don’t need to work so much - their wives beg them to slow down, house can be smaller, we don’t need new car every 4 years and so on. Nope, he works. For his family 😂😂😂. No he works bc he wants to prove himself to other males, keep his status in his work environment- and this is world more important to him than any f*** family of his.

One of my work colleagues was a parent governor for her son's primary school and was asked to take part in interviews for a new teacher. Before the interviews, the head of the school took her aside and apologised that one of the candidates was a man, explaining that they had tried to find a legal reason to reject him at the application stage but hadn’t been able to. The head then said that she was confident that they would be able to find something in the interview to reject him. When my colleague expressed surprise that a teacher would be rejected purely based on gender, the head said, “Well, we all know there’s only one reason a man wants to work with children...”.

Our school district has quite a few male teachers and I’m so grateful. In elementary school, they tend to be in 4th-6th and I feel that’s the exact time it’s needed most. They have outgrown the need for a motherly figure at school. They desire the energy and loud voices of the men. Also, I’ve found that male teachers show much more interest in the kids lives & interested simply because men can compartmentalize and don’t stress as much. We’ve had them come to soccer games, lemonade stands, ask for pictures of the things they like to do outside of school. We have yet to have a female teacher ask for any of that. They tend to have the mindset that kids should be seen and not heard. Sit still for 7 hours and listen, while men think of the classroom as a community.

In high school, I had a female English teacher that halfway understood boys. After having certain students all in the same class, she better understood. We almost revolted one day until she understood that when we were writing about the drive to commit actions we were writing about our feelings. For most boys, feelings motivate or hinder behaviors, actions. We can feel them, powerfully. We can ponder them, deeply. We have a hard time applying words of description to feelings without learning to translate thoughts on motivation or avoidance in other ways that actually have words. We are literally just feeling the feelings and diving into them in the most pure sense when we try to ponder. Until we learn the words, there are none. Often when we do learn the words, we are told we are too broad. How can one not speak broadly when looking upon the wide sea?

Truth

[@caronadams4486]

The idea behind feminism is that men and women would have the same opportunities and choices. In a perfect world, a single income is enough to allow one parent (mom or dad) to be a parent/ homemaker. Rarely, neither parent has that option because two incomes are a necessity today.

[@brittanygreen]

@caronadams4486 1) Even if that is the definition of feminism ( which, there is more to it than that), that's a stupid idea. For one, we are very different, from our anatomy, to our psychology. We shouldn't have the same opportunities and choices, because, to be honest, we are simply not the same. For instance, no woman should be a firefighter. That's not me being unnecessarily discrimanatory. Lives would be at stake if she gets the job. And, how the workplace has altered in various ways to accommodate women, proves this point. Why do we have HR, sensitivity training, etc.? Because women have a strong need to have social conformity. 2) The ideology of feminism actually has a huge part to play in the economic turmoil we face. When women flooded the workplace (causing reduction in wages due to distribution) AND started asking for the same wage (an actual entitlement, given women actually were new employees at the time, still work less hours, have less duration in a company, etc.), everyone started asking for more money. We'll, the government continually prints more money, causing inflation. And, by in large, the same people wanting to flood the workplace with women, also want to flood the workplace with illegals. Something to be said. 3) Again, create a problem, and causing economic gridlock. The truth is , there are still ways for one to have a nuclear family, just, few want to. Even if some make the sacrifice to swing it (a growing number do), they are ostracized by the likes of people like you.

They don’t want to teach the basics (reading, writing and arithmetic), they want to teach the esoteric DEI crap that permeates society, they need to teach not only the proper curriculum but also life skills (minor medical, cooking, cleaning, finances, budgeting, light sewing and job interview skills) to prepare the students (prospective adults) for the rest of their lives. Oh, but national teacher association thinks that too hard for them. True the parents should be teaching a lot of this to their children, but often time both parents are working very hard, sometimes at two or more jobs just to make ends meet.

@@justachannel8600 Hello there. I'm sure that you're right about the issue being more nuanced. I went to an all-male technical (trade) school before your time, and was part of a group that was interested in both electronics/science and sport. There were fights literally every day, but I never heard of anything about bullying a 'geek' (the word wasn't even used). However, as skilled jobs went overseas and local power stations were sold off, there was a shift - as I recall it, at least - in emphasis away from STEM subjects for boys and a corresponding movement towards STEM for girls, particularly in the wealthy private schools. I suspect that many boys in the public system simply didn't see that STEM had anything to offer them, whereas previously boys were being pushed towards apprenticeships etc that required STEM. Once the jobs were lost, it seems that STEM for boys lost community status, while for girls it may be that it still represented, particularly for those from a wealthier background, opportunities and the status of being a high achiever in an area once largely dominated by males. No doubt the 'nerd loser' stereotypes which you mentioned didn't help. There are many other factors, but I'm sure that you don't need me to go on even further. Best wishes to you in any case.

Gentle Parenting is good, but not when it leads to the kids just doing whatever they feel like all the time. There's a line. Follow Your Dreams is great advice, but at the same time, there's a point where things go sort of off-kilter and we're seeing a ton of college students who're graduating college with woefully inadequate college degrees that aren't going to help them get careers that can actually move them forward. People who got told that, yes, pursue writing, but maybe take a sales or marketing course alongside it were seen as being total jerks who were assuming failure.

Did anyone ever consider that the whole idea of compulsory public school sucks? 1. As run, it consumes far too much of a child's life. If you look back on K-12 in your own life, you will probably agree that at least half the hours you spent there were wasted, in that you could have gained similar capabilities with half the time invested, freeing up many hours for other avenues of interest, or study, or work. Truly, we teach kids to waste time rather than to invest it pleasantly and profitably. And we see the results in the workplace. 2. It costs WAY more money than it should. 3. It does not deliver 98%+ training to proficiency in the intended basic life skills (3 Rs and civics). How do you graduate high school while still functionally illiterate? 4. It provides a baby-sitting service for working parents. No, that's NOT a benefit! It diminishes thereby a parent's necessary influence on the child. And if we didn't have a wasteful, punitive tax structure, many working parents would willingly stay home, say degreed colleagues I've worked with. Children are a more important product than what companies make. I point out the huge tax burden schools impose on EVERYBODY for your whole adult life. How much better to pay tuition for your kids only, only in periods they need it. 5. Parents should direct their children's education. Who has a greater interest? 6. If educators had actually to sell their services in an open market, can you imagine the difference?

[@patnor7354]

More importantly it has a destructive effect on children. Being surrounded by other children all the time in a parallell world means that children are essentially raised by other children. The results are of course predictable. No wonder that young 'adults' grow ever more infantile and dependent.

And they interacted with the real world, and not some extended kindergarten.

That’s why the phones need to go from the kids. Especially in the classroom. I don’t understand. When I was in high school, we couldn’t have piercings or different colored hair cause it would be deemed “distracting” yet phones with video games on them and social media are okay? So, when did the education system (largely in the 2010s it seems) start to not care anymore? I’ve asked many parents would they be okay if there children went to schools where they weren’t allowed to have phones? The overwhelming majority say they wouldn’t feel comfortable about that cause of all the school shootings. And I think to myself, okay, but if school shootings are occurring at a higher rate than ever and it’s coincided with rising rates of depression and anxiety which also have coincided with the rise of smartphone and tablet use… maybe everything will actually improve if we don’t give kids access to these devices and online services? And why not hire retired police officers and fund it for protection at every school? It just makes no sense and eventually the parents are gonna have to budge if they want there kids to succeed in the classroom and later in life. Safety is important but not when it stunts the healthy development of your child. Risk is extremely important in a child’s development skills and conflict resolution. Whats happening is it seems that the U.S. education system along with A LOT of parents now seem to want to eliminate all risk from their child. That’s so destructive to your kid. No wonder the kids now and young adults can barely function when dealing with any kind of conflict, when the system and the parents literally tried to prevent all risk from their kids.

Not telling you what to do or how to think but rather to encourage you to "try" or be open to try newer "weirder" or "non-traditional" methods. Dominate in all facets of your life. GodSpeed. 💪

Had a similar dissertation subject in English class in high school, about writing at first person the story of a girl after some family breakup. Wrote something like “shity subject. I don’t know I’m not a girl”. Got a 0, but at least the teacher asked me why and understood so hopefully she designed her tests better from then.

@@Natoozz OK so I am a straight guy. But I've had dreams where I was different people or animals or things. Where I had the perspective of a tiger once. Obviously im not a tiger and have zero clue why the hell I'd have a dumb dream where I was a tiger. But it was also kinda cool. I've been a woman, another guy, an alien in a other dimension all kinds of things with their POV. If I wanted to I could write an essay on it and pretend and use my imagination to fill in the blanks. You can't do that? You can't be Ms.doubtfire for a moment or a CIA agent? You can't pretend to be a girl for 3 pages? The goal was to get you to try and be creative and use imagination. That's it.

Society tells men "We don't want you here"

[@Echteseele]

Worst, they say "you are toxic just because you are a boy"

[@alexvaughan1013]

Then it wonders why angry men turn to the likes of Andrew Tate!

[@Mechdemon23]

Then men get message and leave and everyone else loses their damn mind.

Not needed? Not going to show up then.

They still need us to keep the society running, but I'd be more than glad if we left feminists behind to build and run their own cities without men. They could have kids but each time it would be a boy, it'd be given to a non-feminist adoptive traditional family outside their borders. They could keep the girls, raise them and try to maintain their own cities in terms of infrastructure and everything. It would be the first woman only country. If they ever tried to cross our borders, they'd face military resistance. I was always in favor of keeping the feminists in their own country, I don't want to work for them or to have anything to do with them.

Glad this is being talked about now. My group of MEN were discussing this more than a decade ago. That's how much society gives a damn.

No male teachers anymore? Maybe that is why test scores are falling all across America

"Boys are bad at school Must be women's fault".

[@ricardonunezsuarez9258]

We have the same problem in Spain. No one has the courage to call things like it is. The only students the trive in the system are girls and gay boys. The rest are being pushed out through our DEI programa. 😢

[@kuninagako9035]

Same here in Canada. Except now it's turning violent the male students feeling so hateful towards females are now killing them and attacking them do to frustrations
