Okay. Shall we set a debate topic for today?

I can suggest one if people want

sure

How about the education gap?

What is there to debate about that one?

Everything! Policy, cause, means of redress, etc. scholarships, charities, etc. all around the world to.

It makes little sense for the privileged class in society to have LESS access or success in education

Alright then. let's hear what you think

well for starters, a very troubling trend is the bias in grading against boys. This is a systemic disadvantage:

But how do you addrsss that? IMO there needs to be training and seminars about this, it needs to be part of training. It’s relevant, supported by evidence, and adverse to fair education

You do see it talked about, but not enough. It seems to get very little attention. And it doesn’t seem to be being fixed

There needs to be a standard and mandatory action

Something from the DOE. This kind of thing is their job (for the US)

The UNs programs for education are often very one sided . They, of course, completely ignore areas where boys are the gender with lower enrollment rates

What kind of mandatory action would you be talking about specifically?

It is very easy to say "action"

but in this case the types of actions to be taken can be rather disputable

I like this paper for a description of the types of actions that have been taken: https://equalitycanada.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Exploring-the-Boys-Crises-in-Education.pdf

And while I certainly disagree with some of that paper's conclusions, it does point out rather effectively that there aren't really easy answers here

..

I think one of the best examples of specifics I've gotten is this: http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/curriculum/meread_andhow.pdf

but that is a lot of "do more of this" rather than some drastic change

its definitely not as simple as a straight legislative action, its not like pension ages, and i would NOT prefer seeing affirmative action for boys

i think its a very deeply embedded societal bias and the solution isnt easy

standardized grading policies for starters

but still, how our essays graded?

education when earning teachers certificate, and standards for that

Feminism and Nazism, a valid comparison or taking it a little too far?

Actually, it's close but a little off

Here's the comparison I make: https://quillette.com/2018/12/18/the-children-of-the-revolution/

It's spookily similar.

Can you draw parallels as male_positive does in that thread between feminism and those talked about in your link?

Absolutly

They operate via fear, using control of the universities and the young

The academics live in terror of them

They are literally cannibalizing their own movement

The entire thing is based on the hunt for 'enemy wrongthinkers'.

They use bullying to control language.

They took over the universities.
