While many believe young people are becoming more liberal, data shows that 12th grade boys are nearly twice as likely to identify as conservative compared to liberal. Around 25% of high school seniors identify as conservative while only 13% identify as liberal. In contrast, the share of 12th grade girls identifying as liberal has risen to 30%. Many factors may contribute to this trend, including the rhetoric of Donald Trump which appealed to disaffected young men, and the focus of progressive movements on issues of gender and racial equality which some young men perceive as a “matriarchy.” However, most high school seniors claim no political identity, and many boys in high school do not actively discuss
We can trade anecdotes (and insults) all day long and none of it means a thing. You asked for a specific example and I gave you one. Just the first one off the top of my head. Schools in my area are canceling unstructured outdoor play time, which hurts boys more than girls.
Here’s one you’re probably more familiar with, since it’s nationwide: men being pushed out of careers in education.
I’m sure you’ll just move the goalposts on that one too though. “Ah but it’s not GOVERNMENT doing it so it doesn’t count!” or “I know a male teacher so it doesn’t count!”
Got a citation for that? I was of the impression that — especially at the primary level — schools were going out of their way to recruit more male teachers. Now retention may be a different matter. I could be wrong on both counts, though and would like to educate myself.
If they are, it doesn’t seem to be working: https://www.menteach.org/resources/data_about_men_teachers/
Unless I’m reading it wrong, this is showing a modest but positive increase in the percentage of male elementary school teachers since the 90’s.
I would call it in the range of statistical noise, personally
You didn’t give an example of shit. I asked for an example of how boys’ rights are being treated and you come up with some wussy nonsense about recess. Give me a break. No one had a “right” to recess, even if your company’s about it were true, which they aren’t.
Your ideology is a fragile, weak joke. It’s pathetic that the right thinks they own masculinity and strength while acting like a bunch of whiny wimps.
