Single sex classrooms would be a good idea. Seriously.

What is true, however, is that the comics most young boys would be interested in reading aren’t worthy of assigning in class (Superman or Iron Man or what have you). V For Vendetta, Persepolis or Maus would be worth teaching, I think. But they’re also not easy to read flights of juvenile fantasy, and even cover topics that might raise complaints from “good Christian parents” or what have you (why, that comic book you assigned suggests that homosexuals are humans with relationships of value!).

Other than that, yeah, I agree with what you said. I don’t know what those boys’ problem is with reading, I didn’t have that problem as a boy. I loved reading books as a young’un. Then again, I’m also a homo, and because I didn’t have much of an interest in sports (among other things), I got called gay and other names not infrequently.

Women have always gotten this patriarchal line that if we ever could figure out how to become great, we wouldn’t be discriminated against. Now it seems that no matter how great we get, there’s always a slot reserved for white boy fuckups.

See here…

I Blame The Patriarchy makes some good points about how some people are trying to address poor performance at school.

You know how these morons react to a girl who doesn’t act “like a girl”, right? ”

Oh mythago, don’t pine for your son, you have control over how he is taught and raised. I raised a son also and let me tell you, I was working overtime against the patriarchy that be that wanted to poison his mind and set him up to live in macho-empty headed land and be confused, lonely and unfulfilled. Your son as I know my son also, would not have any desire to follow the herd.

And our little girlie girls, being all full of the concept of human rights and equality and all will definitely allow them in with them to study and pontificate.

Yes, I know very well what the patriarchy does to bad girls. I was raised by one of the best and that’s why I have no problem the concept I posted above of letting the machos chase eachother on the playground while those with half a wit do their studying.

May the dogs eachother alive!

I also have had first hand contact with the Father’s Rights People and they are mysogynists of the first order always looking for new young blood to bring into their fold of hatred and narcissistic whining.

We who have sons must equip them with the tools of feminist thinking, of the concept of equality, human rights, justice and humanism. Because if anything, boys are inundated continuously with directives to take the patriarchy path post – haste.

let’s let the women run things for a change.

i am totally not kidding.

evolution isn’t “fair” and our species is about to be obliterated unless we do a bunch of things very correctly and very quickly.

testosterone and adrenaline have proven themselves unequal to the task of fueling a sane stewardship of this fragile world. forty-five centuries of unending brinkmanship, destruction, chaos, slavery, and genocide should provide all the footnotes this thesis requires.

long live the reign of the feminine! long live the environment!

as a wiser person than i once wrote: “there is no way to peace; peace is the way.”

And it is not always self defense

It’s NOT fine by me. These fuckwads don’t speak for me and they aren’t doing my son any favors.
