Time for education systems to stop discriminating against boys. Males are less likely to graduate or move on to the next level at high school, college and graduate/professional degrees. Boys and girls are not the same, we need to address the needs and aspirations of both.

@statesdj More like need to start offering options that discriminate in favor of boys. (Whether that will help waits for research)

Males are simply inferior to females.

@jgordon Nah, boys and girls are different, but if you measure everyone by the standards of one gender, the other gender will suffer. The number of male teachers has fallen, and academic policies have for many years been tilted toward females to address a perceived bias against women.

@statesdj Your hypothesis is testable. There are lots of examples globally to compare. I believe female brain superiority for modern work is seen globally.
