USAToday: "Girls get extra school help while boys get Ritalin"

Article here.

It's pretty common sense to anybody with their eyes open, but it hit a traditional media outlet so I thought I'd share it with you guys. Excerpt:

'Most startling is that little is being done to correct the imbalances. All of the major players — schools, education colleges and researchers — largely ignore the gender gap. Instead of pursuing sound solutions, many educators merely advocate prescribing more attention-focusing Ritalin for the boys, who receive the drug at four to eight times the rate of girls, according to different estimates. "Too often the first reaction to an attention problem is 'Let's medicate,' " says Rockville, Md., child psychologist Neil Hoffman. "Some schools are quick to recommend solutions before they've fully evaluated the problem."'

Wow, that's not bad then. I thought this ratio is about 99 to 1.

...Our baby boomer generation of males have been conditioned by constant exposure to women-as-victim agit prop; to focus all their attention on the educations of our girls. Thats all great, but their doing so at the expense of abandoning our young generation of males!!
..What drives these men to abandond our young generation of males??

Is it a some sort of perversion, and they think they will get praise from women!!

Are these men so desperate for female attention that they have no qualms at all about neglecting..and in some cases even being hostile to male children!!

But reversing the trend will not be easy.

Yes, that's right, reversing this trend is not easy and what's more important there is no time anymore to reverse this trend.

But what is EXTREMELY easy is not reversing the trend, but putting the end at once to this whole pathological situation in Western society. And we'll see soon how this will happen.

Scottkirk, you are more right than you think. Check out this post of mine about a conversation with a co-worker who believes in female superiority.

Boys love to run and scream and play; drug them until their dicks fall off.
