Boys are Suffering Under Feminized Education.
Boys and girls have fundamentally different psychologies. They are like a coin. They are both fundamentally part of the same whole. And, like the two faces of that coin, they are complete opposites to one another. Two halves of the same whole. Without one, the other cannot be complete. Feminized s
We used to understand this and offer a range of opportunities that appeals to the natural instincts of each gender. And for generations, this worked. Now, we look at a boy acting like a boy and treat it as a mental illness that needs correcting. Generally, through punishment or psychoactive medications. Think: school suspension for fighting and Ritalin for not being able to focus during lectures.
Does a boy have too much energy? He must be ADHD. Jam psychoactive medications down his throat. That will make him sit still. Teaching kids to use their energy to be hard workers has NEVER helped any boy. Does he not focus while the teacher lectures? Must be ADD. Cram more medicine down his gullet. That will make him focus. It can’t be that he is a kinesthetic learner (someone who lea
Is he aggressive during class? It CAN’T be because aggression is an inbuilt characteristic of most mammalian males. We should NEVER acknowledge biology and encourage him to tame his aggression through healthy competition with other boys. It MUST be behavior problems. Better jam MORE psychoactive medications down his throat. Giving enough recess time for kids to run, play, compete, and socialize could NEVER solve that problem. That kind of masculinity is just TOXIC.
All sarcasm aside, if you think about it, you will find it to be true.
Boys are pushed to behave like girls.
Boys’ natural instincts do not mesh well with modern schools. Aggressive, energetic behavior is treated with pharmaceutical drugs that mess with the natural chemistry of the male brain. Competition is discouraged in favor of “everyone is a winner!” style “participation trophies”. Overcautious parents, teachers, and administrators are unwilling to let boys express their natural urge to explore, form competitive teams, and play rough. They don’t realize, though, that this results in fragile children unable to be tough. No. Toughness is one of those bad behaviors, nowadays.
Displaying this kind of behavior invariably has negative results. Scolded by teachers, harassed by school administration, sent home from school, and eventually put on drugs in an effort to control it. None of this helps boys learn to manage their masculine energy. So, to avoid these issues, boys are taught that they have to sit still, keep quiet, be “nice”, and be caring to everyone else. These are characteristics that are more commonly expressed by girls. There is nothing wrong with saying that, either. That is just the natural tendency towards motherly care that girls have built into them. The people who think that saying this is sexist are typically the same people pushing boys to change their nature. Well-meaning but unwilling to acknowledge the fundamental differences between the genders.
With this being the case, is it any surprise that boys are becoming prone to academic failure, extreme violence, depression, loneliness, and suicide? It shouldn’t be. The modern school system is trying to shove the square peg of natural male psychology through the round hole of feminized education.
When my father was in school, kids regularly brought guns to school. It was normal and acceptable. Now, if a kid brings a gun to school, it’s to commit atrocities against the people he views as having wronged him. And is it a surprise that the perpetrators of these crimes are boys? Is it any surprise that it happens at schools, the very places that try to beat the masculinity out of them? Once again, it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. Schools are crushing the instincts of boys. They are developing to be more conducive to female behavior, to the detriment of traditionally masculine behavior.
Masculinity is demonized, femininity is praised.
This next part might sound conspiratorial, but I’m confident that if you follow through to the end, you might agree with me.
Do you know what the global average is with

Think about it. From 7:30 AM until mid to late afternoon, your child is surrounded by female authority figures. Because the psychology of the students and teachers naturally mesh, this won’t be a problem. The female student will behave in a way consistent with the natural world view of the teacher.
The male student, on the other hand, will appear rambunctious, disruptive, disorganized, aggressive, and dirty to the female teacher. A male teacher might look at this behavior and see teachable moments for the boy. The female teacher will look at it and see behavioral problems that need to be corrected.
And that’s not even to say that the female teacher WANTS to wrong him. Nor is it to say that she is wrong for wanting to correct certain behaviors. What it IS saying is that the balance is completely out of whack. “Boys will be boys” is now a taboo vulgarity in school, and boys are suffering the consequences of it.
Now to wrap it all up.
How can a boy learn to channel his masculine energy productively if there is a glaring absence of masculine authority figures to model his behavior on?
Can he feel like a normal, healthy person if he is surrounded by women who inadvertently make him feel like his instincts are deficiencies that need to be corrected, rather than natural instincts to be honed?
If a boy is surrounded by female authority figures for the majority of his day, how can he learn to be a “man”?
The short and sweet of it is: He can’t. And society is suffering the fallout of its failure.
