'Why is educating boys so hellishly hard?'
Article here. Excerpt:
'However, not only is there a large gap in favor of women’s college attendance, but women go through college faster, with higher grades, more honors and fewer disciplinary setbacks. Currently, they are being admitted to elite graduate business and medical schools in greater numbers. The situation has become so critical that in order to have a reasonably balanced entering class, many schools have a sub rosa affirmative action program for boys. Oh, how the mighty have fallen!
...
Why have boys lost their academic and employment leads? Men have always been more trouble, starting wars and going over the edge, but they have usually been the ones to do the “big deeds,” from inventing vaccines to building great businesses. They have been looked to by their womenfolk for leadership and security. Now more and more women are saying, “Why bother!” When young Elvis was asked why he hadn’t married, he famously responded, “Why pay a cow when you can get milk free through a picket fence?” Ladies now are answering that same question with, “Why buy a stubborn, lazy mule when I can drive to town in my own car!”'

"When young Elvis was asked why he hadn’t married, he famously responded, “Why pay a cow when you can get milk free through a picket fence?”
I had no idea Elvis had ever been that smart when he was young. Later of course, he bought the cow!
since when do women buy men?
The only male gold digger I ever saw was on the cover of TV guide 20 years ago, when some 30's guy was in a relationship with the geriatric Joan Collins (gross!)
On a more serious note, any self-respecting MR knows women never go for a man earning less then they are. Actually everyone knows this, but a lot of people, for example hysterical reporters, pretend it isn't true.

It would have been funnier if he had said "why pay a sow when you can get meat..."

May be men are getting 'lazy' Well that's a good thing. I see men disengaging as a form of passive resistance. I turned off years ago. I would not willingly help society in any way. I have self interest but that is all.
As I have said in a previous post - let the whole thing fall and society turn to dust. I would not extend a helping hand to maintain this feminist society for even one second.

What do feminist do when they have sons? Do they just abort them? If it's all about the children, then young men today are the children that feminists were talking about right? Also, does anyone know the suicide rate increase of a son by a single mother by choice?

I read a disturbing article in the 70s about feminists raising sons. One single radfem "mother" found it hilarious that she'd raised her toddler son to hate and fear men. This is truly sick and has been going on for decades. Frightening.
