War on Boys | 5 Minute Video
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 พ.ค. 2014
- What ever happened to letting "boys be boys?" Take these two cases: In one, a seven-year-old boy was sent home for nibbling a Pop Tart into a gun. In another, a teacher was so alarmed by a picture drawn by a student (of a sword fight), that the boy's parents were summoned in for a conference. In short, boys in America's schools are routinely punished for being active, competitive, and restless. In other words, boys can no longer be boys. Christina Hoff Sommers, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, explains how we can change this.

Script:
Being a normal boy is a serious liability in today’s classroom. Boys tend to be disorganized and restless. Some have even been known to be noisy and hard to manage. Sound like any boy you know?
But increasingly, our schools have little patience for what only a couple of decades ago would have been described as “boyishness.” As psychologist Michael Thompson has aptly observed: “Girls behavior is the gold standard in schools. Boys are treated like defective girls.”
As a result, these “defective girls” are not faring well academically. Compared with girls, boys earn lower grades, win fewer honors they’re are far less likely to go to college. Boys are languishing academically, while girls are prospering. In an ever more knowledge-based economy, this is not a recipe for a successful society.
We need to start thinking about how we can make our grade school classrooms more boy-friendly. Well, here are four reforms that would make a very good start.
1. Turn boys into readers.
In all age groups, across all ethnic lines, boys score lower than girls on national reading tests. Good reading skills -- need I say? -- are critical to academic and workplace success. A major study in the UK discovered, not surprisingly, that girls prefer fiction, magazines, and poetry while boys prefer comics and non-fiction. Boys whose eyes glaze over if forced to read Little House on the Prairie may be riveted by the Guinness Book of Records. Boys will read if given materials that interest them. If you’re looking for suggestions for books that have proved irresistible to boys go to guysread.com.
2. Inspire the male imagination.
Celebrated writing instructor Ralph Fletcher contends that too many teachers take what is called “the confessional poet” as the classroom ideal. Personal narratives full of emotions and self-disclosure -- these are stories girls commonly write -- and these are prized; whereas action stories describing, say, a skateboard competition or a monster devouring a city, these are not. I recently read about a third-grader in Southern California named Justin who loved science-fiction, pirates, and battles.
An alarmed teacher summoned his parents to school to discuss the picture the 8-year-old had drawn of a sword fight -- which included several decapitated heads. The teacher expressed grave “concern” about Justin’s “values.” The boy’s father was astonished, not by his son’s drawing which to him was typical boy stuff, but by the teacher’s overwrought -- and female-centered -- reaction.
If boys are constantly subject to disapproval for their interests and enthusiasms they are likely to become disengaged and lag further behind. Our schools need to work with, not against, the kinetic imaginations of boys.

I remember in elementary they wouldn't let us play sports at recess because the people that were bad at sports would feel bad that they were bad at sports
Ohh and in the 6th grade these girls dumped glue down my friends shirt and he said the F word got suspended and nothing happened to the girls he is still mad about this to this day
This is why my parents homeschooled me.
Stupid reason to be homeschooled tbh.
Ah Dollar What a stupid comeback.
Harambe What a butthurt individual.
I used to have a teacher that would always give treats to girls and none to boys. The teacher got fired lol.
+Ayyyy
They are taught in college- university womens studies classes that boys and men are privileged.They also teach hate against men,boys ,christians and masculinity in those classes too.The scary thing is ,now you hand that young indoctrinated teacher 10-15 kindergarten little boys she was taught to resent and hate ??
Good. She sounds sexist.
+Ayyyy I had a teacher who carefully auditioned boys and girls for a 'choir', then selected a 100% all girls, and rejected 100% of the boys. This allowed her to get around the anti-sexism policy of the school. She just claimed the boys were all lousy singers, and the girls all good ones. She did not get fired.
+kim621100 You're right. Our "schools of education" are anti-male. They are bigoted, male-bashing hate mongering institutions.
+Ayyyy I used to be a student that would flatten the tires of teachers that would not give me treats..... lol
I like how they put a women on so they can’t call her a sexist
That's smart actually, cause if it was a man saying this, I feel like people would take this entire video as a joke
@@OmegaDeltaOmicron nah its still a joke
@@jessamynroguski9649 I respectfully disagree with your opinion, please don't start a war in this reply section
@@OmegaDeltaOmicron sorry, not my intention
I respect your opinion
I'm just of the opinion that this video is a bit sexist to both boys and girls because they're blocking them into stereotypes, which doesn't help anyone
@@jessamynroguski9649 ok I understand, thanks for not starting a pointless argument
My fourth-grade teacher would have us play boys vs girls jeopardy. She announced that she would give a prize to the team that won. The first time we played, the girls won because she was on their side giving them hints the whole time. The girls got their prize and called us stupid. The teacher said that the boys had to do better next time. The next time we played the boys won, despite the opposing efforts of the teacher. I distinctly remember waiting for our prize and after some time I just went ahead and asked her if we were getting one. She said the boys didn't play well enough to deserve a prize. I was so upset and frustrated after that. I hated that teacher. I remember writing a poem about her in like 6th grade that was read aloud to the class during our poetry unit. I didn't directly use her name, but I roasted tf outta her lol.
Nice.
I want to read that poem
i know it's been a year but can you tell us the poem lol
Can you tell us the Poem ? Sounds iteresting
I want to humiliate the heck out of her now. Those teachers are HORRIBLE and need DISCIPLINE, something they lacked when they grew up.
It seems like most of my female teachers prefer girls over boys while my male teachers don't really have a preference
+Brandon Green It "seems". Yeah or maybe that's what you want to believe.
+Brandon Green My female teacher loved me so much. But then she got arrested.
+Rorther Most, yeah I've had female teachers that don't care about my gender but a lot of them have. Keep in mind that I'm a straight A student
+Brandon Green Well it has been proven that female teachers are biased against male students.
+Rorther xD
But it's a mystery why men have higher depression rates
And far higher suicide rates.
because we have to hear all day what a woman has to say XD
i wonder why is that... :v
+BACON Lover thats why i hunt now. its a great stress release. the thrill i feel is almost as good as sex for me. and you can take your anger out on a animal, allowing you to vent and get a delicious meal. the only downside is each time i hunt i spend 6 straight hours in the cold winter air. but its so worth it in the end for that tender, juicy, delicious venison.
sounds nice!, too bad i cant hunt where i live
Some girls at my school get away for using there phones while I get in trouble for drawing a car a freakin car
😂
I got into trouble for calling a girl a name she deserved it. But anyway next thing she did was say that I'd been teasing and bullying her for years. A lie. And I told them this but they didnt bat an eye at what I said.
A car... wth you got in trounke for drawing just a car.
Bro same
I bet she is jealous because she has terrible knowledge of cars.
Society: *Why are children so averse to outdoor activity and unstructured socialization?*
Also Society: *let’s cancel recess and dodgeball.*
in my school we couldn't even run in the yard
We need to find the individuals responsible instead of generalizing to society itself.
society
Only thing to do is create an awareness of the problem and try to change it with courage and perseverance...
Dodgeball is very fun . School doesn't allow fun stuff
I looked at a girl I liked last year in high school and she told a principal. The principal was a male. He never went to me. Week later a female teacher came up to me and told me if I even looked at her I would be going to court WTF.
I hate most people in my school.
At least the male teachers give me more respect than half of my school.
Lol Wut? Ah ah ah, don't say eat my ass; that's sexual harassment 😂
Bruh when people pull that shit the best thing to do is look them right in the face and don't even bother.
Equality everyone! Unless you're a white male
Sorry friend but i think you might be ugly
Joe Monreal looks dont matter as much as you think to girls, she's socially creeped of the guy
School. A place that gives you depression instead of knowledge.
Seriously, homeworks made me sleep at 1 AM, and you need to be arrived at school before 7 AM.
Cardboard box its basically a full time job with barely any benefits, u get stress, deprssion, bully, etc from school. While u learn nothing at all
MobileGamer Su Couldn't agree more, most of the things they taught me probably gonna be useless in the future (execpt when taking exam or trials).
kermit And yes I have to mention this.
Right now you study to get good score from exams so that you don't have to do remidials. From my experience, studying is for getting good grades not to actually gain knowledge from it.
Can confirm, school does give depression.
You know what i hate more about school? It teaches you things you dont need to know or use in the future. Such as poetry, do you think we need to write poem in our resume? Or geometry, we barely us it in our basic life unless you're an engineer.
Sally broke her plastic nail during Dodgeball:
District: We are now canceling Dodgeball permanently
A girl once got tag banned cause I “pushed her”
@@pebbeld7921 today at bottom gear: I teach a little girl that she is a victim when the minimum inconvenience happens, my student talks with his friend probably about his next country to invade and a guy harrasses a lady with facts and logic
Remember when young boys and even a few young girls regularly watched stuff like cowboy shootouts on TV and in the movies? 99% of those kids turned out absolutely fine. Seriously, we treat kids like babies today.
TBH as rather unathletic male kid I hated dodgeball during PE as we played often and I couldn't opt-out. I find it really messed up cheering and encouraging kids hit each other as hard as they can and forcing them to participate in it. Competition is fine, tug-of-war, when kids play dodgeball willingly during free time or whatever, but would you be ok with box during PE, forcing already at risk of bullying nerdish kids against class football star? Or setup ridiculous matches between two nerds both unwilling to cause pain to each other for general mockery? That's what dodgeball do. It's school sanctioned bullying and beating.
I broke my thumb in dodgeball it was banned the same session
A girl complained about falling over
As a girl who has always been more of a tomboy, I may not be able to play games like tag or Red Rover because of skin problems with the sun, but I do agree that boys need to. The majority of my friend group is male, and because our schools have taken these games away, we have taken up an abandoned junkyard to play in. Boys should not be forced to do this. Let boys work off their energy in the schoolyard. Let boys be boys.
watch your back
I love the rhought of kids trolling an abandoned junk yard. Sounds like my childhood.
My math teacher favorites all of the girls, she gives them snacks and helps them more, while ignoring boys on purpose. She also ignores the girls when they aren't supposed to be talking, but if a boy whispers when he's not supposed to he gets in trouble. A lot of other teachers at my school (all women) are like this, so I'm sure this is the same at other schools. Edit: not all female teachers are like this, some of my favorite teachers are female.
Caleb O'Neill wtf those sexist bitches should be kicked out of school so they had more time being a stupid feminist
I'd get your parents to go to the school board.
Caleb O'Neill exactly! And my English teacher targets kids she doesn't like and automatically assumes they're doing something bad when they are just sitting there (that actually happened)!
Caleb O'Neill oh it is. I remembered my friends and I all struggled one year because the teacher wouldn't teach the boys, she just expected us to know what she was doing. I switched my class to a guy teacher, and we got by fine because he actually worked with all the students.
Caleb O'Neill my math teachers love me, mostly because my dad beat the shit out of me until I was the perfect child.
If a gun shaped cloud appears in the sky the entire school gets suspended.
You're amazing
what if a group of ants form the shape while marching from one school to the high school next door?

Then it will be commentated on every cable news channel by either pro and or anti gun freaks.
OH MY GOD!!!! What about sticks shaped like guns? It is our duty to protect kids from such an evil!
“tug of war replaced with tug of peace” sent me💀
I'd punch the guy closes to me and say peace? heh... *peace was never an option*
I’d rather sit in the corner and just talk with friends during recess tbh. I was never the physical kind of person
Let me tell you, it’s a western world (mainly America) thing
How exactly does "Tug of Peace" work?
@@Ziziwai that's fine, as long as its YOUR choice. Keeping everyone cooped up is bad
"Boys are treated like defective girls". That was my gendered upbringing. Almost every teacher I had behaved this way. Zero tolerance, minimal competition. By the time I graduated high school in the late 90s I had quite the culture shock. I didn't know how to compete, and by connection, I didn't know how to fail. Nobody cared about my emotions, and I would lose relationships to underachieving stoners. I grew up to be made ashamed of my gender. Any traits of being a gentleman was mocked and ridiculed. It took years of painful realization and a genuine love for me to mature. Over the course of 10 years, I was finally able to move on and up. But the knowledge of the best years of my life waisted on self destruction on things out of my control, still haunts me. This 5 minute video is very true about the hate society has against Boys, and how it nearly claimed my life.
I'm a couple years older than you, but I understand. I have an older sister and when she graduated high school everyone asked her "Where do you want to go for college?" I graduated high school and was asked "What kind of work do you want to do?" That question is kind of a joke because there's not much choice without an education. She flunked out and became a "housewife", I went to college years later on my own dime and graduated with honors.
Females are overrated
Same here except my own guardians were like your teacher
Sorry boys actually have personalities.
would that be cannibalism?
+Max Fitzgibbon At first all I saw was the OP and your comment.
It was as random as you think.
Midastouchgamer lol
Walacan Malacan Nice one! It's true that boys want to do their own thing regardless of rules while girls are more likely to follow them. And given how academic success depends on obidience ("don't talk back to your teacher" or "teachers know best") and hard work, schools look more like workplaces where you do do something for your boss when most boys want to be their own boss. Shame that that opportunity only comes later in life...
it is
I wasnt allowed to go to the 8th grade graduation party because i got attacked and defended myself...
OregonGreen rekt
OregonGreen same
really? i for one want this whole story. tell me more.
I got detention for being punched and then scaring the shit out of who punched me without lifting a finger
OregonGreen I got ISS for getting angry and lightly flinging my backpack at a door.
I remember my school wouldn't let me make gun signals with my hand in kindergarten d:
Same except it continued into middle school. (my school is jk-8)
This video is so real and need to be played on a megaphone all over the country... says a mother of a teenager son
i was suspended from school because a girl attacked me due to someone telling her that i swore at her parents which i didn't. she scratched and punched my face and so i pushed her away (violently) then the teachers went in between us to stop the "fight", not really a fight since i couldn't fight her due to double standards. at the end of the day i got suspended and she went to her next lesson. the teachers told me that "you shouldn't hit a girl" but all i did was push her away i told the teachers that it was self defence but they just cut me off and put me in a empty room for 6 hours. it seemed like they didnt believe a word i said and they believe everything she said, that reminds me of how America was like right after the slave trade a white women could make up a lie such as "he raped me" and the black man will get in trouble even if there is no evidence.
***** i dont know what "to kill a mockingbird" is
Sounds like an episode of Leave it to Beaver that I saw once where a girl called Beaver names, then Beaver called her something the next day and she started crying and Beaver got in trouble and had to write an apology note to her. I think there was another one where beaver got beat up at school and it turned out to be a girl and he couldn't hit her back because he wasn't allowed to hit girls.
Same Thing Only she Punched me and I got dragged back by other guys
now you know for now on when a girl attacks you punch dead in the face because no matter what you're in trouble anyway
That is awful! If you can't hit girls, girls shouldn't hit you as well XD Wtf is wrong with this world?!
*boy sits with another boy 2 times in school*
Female Teacher: SIT WITH SOMEONE ELSE!!!
*girls sit with another girl 40 times in a row and talks very loud*

i have nothing against woman but female teachers dont like boys as much
Oof
In a hot day we did a water bottle war and got a bit wet... The teacher said beuse we were wet we need to go to home, we got dry, she said it because what we did...
In other cold day, few girls did the same thing, the teacher did nothing, we said to her, still nothing. We got a voice record of her saying: "i dont care what they did" then she said that its illegal to voice record people, even though in my contery it's legal if you need it to prove something ...
Also they said that we got one of the best grate in English in my contery, it was one of the worst......
They said it to make us more existed about English.

It's crazy that this vid is 9 years old and is now more applicable than ever! 😤
a girl kicked me in the balls so I got up and punched her in the face. she got off the hook and I am currently bruised and suspended. all the teacher said was "she was experimenting" and told me I was an animal.
hahaaha yeah I should've
That's an interesting one to take note of actually, considering there have been reports of men dying after receiving such trauma. There is no way that "She was experimenting" is an acceptable justification for your suspension. It seriously begs the question of who the real 'animal' was in this scenario.

Was probably a feminist teacher and principal
When I was in 3rd grade (10 years ago, I'm 18 now) I remember I had a English teacher that hated me with a passion. I was a hard working student, but I had a imagination. My teacher would give us "writing time" in which we could write anything for a completion grade. I was a man of action and adventure. I liked giant robots and warships. Once I wrote a story about how this giant robot destroyed a city and how a hero defeated it, my teacher said that it was "a disgrace" and PHYSICALLY RIPPED IT UP. Three complete pages by a 8 year old is hard to come by, and she also gave me a zero for a completion grade. I saw how she complimented the girls paper on how girls could avoid "coodies" and how good it was, (half a page long) and I told my teacher that I'd tell my parents. She said "what will you tell them?" I said that I'd show them my ripped up story and what she did. She threatened to make me sit in time out but I went and sat. Refusing to give the teacher my proof. When I got home and told my parents exactly what happened, this was the first time I heard the word "feminist" I remember them telling the principal what I told them and the teacher (who was filmed by the security cameras in the room) got fired practically on the spot. Thank god we had a male anti-feminism principal, or I'd have a much worse 3rd grade
Happy it had a happy ending
That teacher is a hypocritical peice of *shit*

When my son was in second grade, he found a piece of sharp scrap metal on the playground during recess. He did EXACTLY as I taught him to do in such a situation and immediately turned it over to the nearest teacher. As he handed it over, he told her where he found it and said "I brought it to you because I didn't want anybody to step on it and get hurt". The teacher took him and the piece of metal straight to the principle, who promptly SUSPENDED my 7 year old son for THREE days for violations the state's zero tolerance policy on bringing weapons to school. They KNEW he found it ON SCHOOL GROUNDS and that he reported it IMMEDIATELY, yet they still suspended him. Even worse, those three days were counted as unexcused absences. As was the one day every week that he was absent due to the SCHOOL ORDERED behavioral therapy sessions he had to attend due to the fact that he has ADHD. After 16 weeks of therapy sessions, he was summoned to juvenile court (along with his mother and myself), where a judge tried to convict him of truancy for having 19 "unexcused" absences in the school year. The judge planned to send my 7 year old son to a juvenile detention center for 60 days. I was furious! I asked him how he can send a little kid to jail for something the SCHOOL did? He said it was state policy that ANY absence due to the child's misbehavior is considered "unexcused" and therefore deserves punishment. I got out my phone and called the local TV station. He threatened to have me arrested for contempt of court. I ignored him and asked the TV station to send a news crew because a judge was about to loose his job for incarcerating a 7 year old boy for truancy despite the fact that EVERY day he missed was ORDERED by the school itself for behavioral therapy and since the judge had every intention of violating my son rights that are protected under the Americans With Disabilities Act, I wanted to make sure that his LAST order as a judge was broadcast on the 6 o'clock NEWS. The judge immediately dropped the truancy charge and ordered that ALL of my son's school mandated absences (both past and future) would be considered "excused". I read later on that the ACLU got involved and discovered that that particular judge had sent DOZENS of schoolchildren to jail for school mandated absences for therapy. I'm happy to say that they sued him of behalf of all those children and he is no longer a public servant. Unfortunately, he is just one of many judges that support a judicial system that is rigged to funnel children from schools into the prison system.
Bravo, I wouldn't have been able to stand that without everything becoming right again.

Arkaphol Thummachart hm, i wonder why🤔
the nerdy girl - You do realize that weaker boys cannot fight right? It has been that way throughout history so your comment of "I wonder why," (Which you used i rather than I, grammar is important of you are going to troll or people like me will call you out on it), so your double standard is not even realistic.
Anthony E. I'm literally agreeing with them. Chillax. Also "weaker boys cannot fight". Where's the evidence to support that claim? "weak" boys can fight just like "strong" boys can cuz martial arts is a thing and martial arts isn't all about how physically strong you are. Same goes for girls.
the nerdy girl ever heard the saying "Only the strong will prevail"
Specific Lemon have you ever heard that that's bullshit?😃
when I was in kindergarten I was sick for one day and when I came back I found out that my teacher had conducted a survey on everybody in the class while I wasn’t there which I didn’t get any say in and at the end of recess she walked up to me and took me aside for a minute and basically said that the other kids in my class didn’t like me and that they thought I was annoying. After hearing that as a kid it made me upset because I had no say in the survey and she made me feel like nobody at school liked me and as a kid that kinda took a toll on me. Is it weird to feel upset about that? It just honestly in the end led me to leave that class an to join a teacher who was extremely nice and helped me to understand a lot more about life and made me feel better about myself and taught me really good lessons. I apologize for the long story and honestly I think I was being a bit of a snowflake.
I think the teacher was the snowflake not you.

@@cornmaster5522 hey how are you man
I had trouble with schools throughout with my son. Starting from preschool all the way to high school. My son was hyperactive. Teachers and coaches kept telling me how extremely smart he was and creative but he was very vocal and opinionated which most teachers especially the females didn't like. If he disagreed, he'd say so. If he found the lesson boring, he'd get up and leave. But when he liked something, he outperformed his entire class. I kept getting calls from the principal's office because my son said something or was bullied. I struggled truly. Some teachers loved him because he was beyond his age and they'd have interesting conversations with him. Others couldn't stand him because he spoke back. Thankfully, I support him and we have an amazing relationship. I know he'll make a difference in the world.
Yes, he is gifted and is far beyond his age. He is not supposed to blend with the crowd. He is supposed to make a difference in the world. He may become an expert, Pioneer or leader of some kind due to his excellence and Bravery.

I got told off in class for a paragraph. The teacher who said write about something that interested you, told me to say after, during which she berated me for writing about a new game I had recently gotten. it was a ww2 strategy game, with nothing bad in it beyond cursing and some basic blood graphics. she told me that I was not only not allowed to speak about the game in school, I wasn't allowed to play it at all. my parents became furious about this and nearly got her fired. ironically, a girl in my class got an a+ for writing about her dead dog.

Schools are to give knowledge to students, not preach misandry and feminism.
As a mom of two boys it totally breaks my heart. My youngest still a baby but he is already so boyish. He is less than one year old (will turn one tomorrow (14/06/2023 yeyyyy!) but for the past 3 or 4 months he plays with cars and animals and make their noises while playing, so cute. My oldest is 6 and a half and goes to capoeira and judo, helps his father to fix things and loves hiking and fights. I will do whatever it takes to let them be themselves. Boys (and men) are amazing creatures and we women are lucky to have good men around. But to have good men, they first need to be MEN and before this, they have to be good boys. And good n the sense of fully boys.
I love to be the queen of the house but my solo kingdom is coming to an end as a little girl is on her way :)))) Yeyyy for tradicional families and tradicional gender roles.
I caught my 3 year old sucking stem cells from the baby next door. I wuz shocked at first and tried to break his grip with a crowbar but he was gripped on like an alligator with rabies.... boys will be boys. It's not ideal since I have to feed him the meat with tongs now but it's survival of the fittest and manly I guess. We celebrated his victory by getting him some ink in the name of our savior, Donald Jessica trump. Keep it Trad (EDIT:tradicional?), Fam.
Still call them creatures though.
That boy who drew the swords with decapitated heads sounds like the kind of kid I would love to see write novels in the future.

fury The vengeful one I’m scared of what I want to do because I want to do those things
Wow. I’m crying watching. I chose to keep my kids home when all this nonsense began. Not because we are afraid of a VIRUS, because we absolutely are not. It is due to the simple fact that my children are not going to (and also refuse to; I am proud to say, wear a mask) And no, they’re not doing it virtually from home, either. They’re not doing any “schooling”. However, they are INCREDIBLE homesteaders. They take care of hens, grow crops, they know gun safety, as well as how to safely fire a gun. My daughter is 8 and my son is almost 13. I am fully aware this will absolutely wreck havoc in some people’s minds. Get used to it. They’re not the only ones capable of protecting their families at such a young age these days. It has nearly been a year since they were in school. They’ve learned to play together- for the most part! They’ve learned respect and appreciation for things in a way they never knew or comprehended before. I am so incredibly proud of who they have become OUTSIDE of the school system and watching this sums it up pretty well. I honestly feel like my children are better off learning from me: A business owner/cryptocurrency fanatic/financial awareness nerd and above all, a follower of Christ. I feel guilty at times that my children are missing out on life not being in school the last year... But, they are the most intelligent humans for their age I [personally] know. They’re involved in activities and they have friends over regularly. After watching this, along with a few other related topics from Prager... I may be convinced they just don’t need to go back... EVER!
This video was 8 years ago and looking at today's world and schools you can tell that we are still continuing in the wrong direction.
One time I played the USSR's anthem in class and my male teacher was laughing his ass off, but my female teachers said go to the principal's office. It was for a play your favorite music project in that class.

my music tecaher asked me to sing it once in class and i did because he kind of forgot it and he had no negative or positive reaction about it.

Supporting minorities doesn’t mean hating all the non-minorities. It’s about our attitudes.
As a boy, I faced many of the things you just said. Thank you.
School systems aren't just screwing over guys with this but all kids in general. Someone somewhere decided having fun was inappropriate and there was enough dumb people out there to give that opinion power.
+SnowScales
It's a bit more scary than that, to the point of fiction, it's all about slowly conditioning mankind, we are after all a profit society where human progress is irrelevant and where profit is the prominent goal.
Not to mention how this will affect the future of the country. If places continue to hire underqualified females or minorities to fill a "quota" then that will hinder our advancements in many ways. Sadly it is still the case and it begins with things like this that affect boys at a young age.
+SnowScales Teachers unsatisfied with their life decisions being negative.
+SnowScales This is why private schools are much better. They are less restricted on what they can do, and actually try, unlike public schools who can do jack all and still get funding. This is why, despite increasing education spending, the graduation rate stays the same.
+SnowScales I think its more about liability and money but I think people in these school boards need to bite the bullet and just fight off these crazy ass parents.
When I was a kid I didn’t like reading, one teacher knew that I like battles and action so she gave me a book about the napoleonic wars, now I am an historian who specializes in military history. And I will never forget my teacher for helping me.

Story time.
This one time several girls beat me up and kicked me in the balls like 10 times (bye bye future kids) . I reported to teacher i will name miss bad and she said to go to detention. I reported to another teacher i will name miss kool that was NICE, and she told me to punch em all. I did that and i got suspended. The girls got nothing but applause from all the teachers exept miss kool. Next day i went back and all the boys at school were rioting and protesting abt the 0 tolerance policy. I became leader of the riot and "dueled" the the class thot bc she came out as a feminazi (a person, usually a girl tht believes in female privilage). We just fought until she gave up. The next day the thot and her fans surrounded my house and thowing darts, knives, lit matches at me. The house burnt down and i moved schools. Without me, the "gender equality king". Thats what they call me. The riots continued until when i came back. The thot almost killed me and the police arrested her.
Tl;dr: got beat by girls, got suspended for fighting back, boys rioting for equality, the sexisit thot burnt my house down, when the school needed me the most i came back, the thot got arrested.

Boys and girls need the same amount of recess.
since when is that not a thing?
My History teacher is extremely sexist towards boy in my school, so 3 students (girls) decided to bring Vodka to the school. They obviously drank the Vodka and another student told the teacher. They were suspended.
When they came back to the school the History teacher talked about the incident and said it was normal.
Couple weeks later me and my friends were playing football (soccer) and we accidentally hit a girl in our class,
She forgave us, the history teacher thought it was a good idea to tell the principal about this, we were even called to her office to talk about it, the history teacher was yelling and trying to convince the principal as if we just shot somebody. All in all I think the sexism in school is provoked by the teachers, which are mostly women.
If you read this whole story, Thank you Have a great day.
Yea, even my school. This is true. Honestly, I’m doing my best to drop out. :
I will, you too

sharaismeep you ain't true. Corrected statement sounds like I'm a girl ........maler teachers who treat all of us equally but there are those female teachers which are of two types
1st type- Completely accept and empower sexism
2nd type- those who know these kind of acts will disfame them so they try to control their ebbing sexism but manytimes fail to do so.
When I was a sophomore, my honors math teacher was super hardcore feminist. Like you think you know a hardcore feminist, but not until you meet this person. Anyway, one day when I was sitting in class, trying to do my best at taking notes of the chicken scratch that she was writing on the white board, some girls over in the corner start talking about something and giggling. I turned my head to see what the commotion was (as they were pretty loud), and when I turn my head back, the teacher is staring at me giving me that half smirk kind of look. Then she tells me to stop harassing those nice ladies by starting at them, says that I need to control my feelings, something about misogyny, then tells me to go to the principals office. When I tell him what happened he gave me a kinda 'wtf?' Look, and sent me right back to class without punishment.
Clueless HaCkEr Welp

she is a walking tumour
Saying woman is rape
Clueless HaCkEr .
I remember growing up when I was at school. There was this girl in my class who behaved well and writes well. And everyone else in the class gets constantly compared to her by our teacher. It was a small class, there was 3 of us boys in there. And at the time I was still new in the country and was still trying to adjust to the culture. So I tried to be more like her, tried being more "behaved" and write like her as well. However it was funny how then suddenly people started to call me "gay" as a joke, even the teacher who were constantly comparing us to her.

We also don't have homecoming because the principal sees it as "an opportunity for boys to get too wild around girls" tf?
The same could be said of girls

t happened to one boy in my class in high school, it was around the year 2013 that was when all the SJWs craziness started dominating the classroom, so at least I enjoyed a normal childhood. Basically we had to make a power point presentation about our hobby in English class. Some girls did some pretty good presentation about cooking, they got the best grade. A friend of mine did a great presentation about martial arts and he had the worst grade and got sent to the principal for being too violent even if the presentation was by far the best one. English teachers are the most marxist ones for some reason.

What the hell?
This is disgusting.
The reason that apparently boys are more rowdy is that they're allowed to be. When 'boys could be boys,' people were allowing and honestly enforcing inappropriate behavior due to gender. It's a common double standard.
My best friend Lyla is the best friend in the world. She likes comic books, Guiness World Records, dark humor, and she was on a couple sports teams. When we were kids she made a funny story about a bomb, which now that I think about it, should not have been submitted for school, lol.
I, however, a guy, like Harry Potter, comic books, Narnia, and hate gym class. I won the poetry contest in my school with an emotional piece, though I don't show more emotion than my friends because, well, I don't care enough to. Maybe that's because my friends and sibling enjoy similar things.
The boy who nibbled the pop tart- I read about it. He wasn't trying to make a gun, it just looked like that. A teacher said that he pointed it at a student but he was just holding it.
People are people for god's sake. There are boys who like "feminine" things, like poetry and art. There are girls who like "masculine" things like sports and video games. There's boy, girl, feminine, masculine, and completely androgynous.
I do believe that schools should have recesses. That's something I agree with.
Please do reply to my comment. I want to see people's opinions and see their point of view.
I’m glad I found a sensible person in this comment section. I respect you very much.
You are failing to see that you aren't the majority of boys. This video is speaking of a very alarming trend against boys in public schools.

I can 100% confirm this. I come from a country that speaks spanish and that means my native language is spanish.

Wait wait. So suddenly boys don't write poetry about feelings? And we're just going to move one from that like it wasn't a blatant lie? Most famous poets throughout history have been men, many known for their tales of love or sorrow.
You leftists always side with the exception and not the rule. Big picture is was this video is describing. You missed the entire point.
@@georgemallory797 I mean, historically, men writing poetry is the rule over women writing poetry. Also, I don't understand how being a leftist factors into my comment. I simply replied because I love poetry and that seemed like a false statement.
@@georgemallory797 the exceptions matter when you’re talking about education. you’re buying into the stereotypes this lady is sitting right in front of you.
Yeah, you're right, no one's denying that, but in modern days men are often considered weak or pathetic for showing emotion, because of this whole masculinity stereotype.
Can’t believe this video is 9 years old. It’s gotten so much worse since then
When I was in school my female teachers were _exactly_ like this. They hated boyishness. In fact, one teacher in particular that I know of, is called Miss Anne Kristie.
Miss Anne Kristie. The biology teacher. She _hated_ two boys in particular - one named Aled and one named Jacob. She _loved_ humiliating them, commented each time she'd mark our tests that boys _always_ scored less. She told Jacob that he has a 'small D' (yes, that kind of D). She told Aled to drop out of school. 'Get a job, Aled. Academic work is not for you' was her exact words. 'I refuse to teach you in A-level'. She justified what she said with 'You simple cannot sit down for two seconds without fidgeting.' Aled was deeply upset about this because he wanted to become a doctor (a surgeon I believe) but, of course, her misandry ruined his dreams.
This is a very small example. There aren't even words to describe how much truth this video brings. In fact, boys were yelled at _so much_ for simply _being boys_ that I myself believed that masculinity and boyishness was a misbehavior in itself.
Please get the word out. Cut and paste this video whenever you read about an education issue .Most teachers have to take a womens studies class in order to receive their masters to teach. They teach HATRED AGAINST MEN AND BOYS in all womens studies classes. Now you hand that indoctrinated teacher boys that she was taught were privileged and to hate.
kim621100 Will do :)
That's an interesting comment.
Cara Ames I had a similar situation with an English teacher called Ms Beryl. On our first day with her she stated that boys were a waste of time and she had no intention of helping any of us. She was true to her word, the boys were ignored while the girls were treated like her best friends. The thought still sickens me to this day.
2thinkcritically There was another teacher when I was in school who was _very_ inconsiderate and solipsistic in the way of emotional understanding. One time we had all handed in an assignment for her to mark on the weekend. After marking our essays she said she 'wanted to kill herself' because of the 'stress' of seeing such failures. A boy called Eli criticized what she said, saying she was insensitive and inappropriate to say that to a classroom of thirty, a few of whom may have been suicidal (and one of whom definitely _was_ ). She refused to consider his point of view! He was called to stay behind, she said his actions were rude. He was reported to the headmaster immediately, however she altered the story (the bitch). She said that he had shouted at her and forced her to apologize, neither of which he did. He had a week's detention and a letter was sent home to his parents reporting the issue. I thank goodness that his parents were understanding!
One time in 3rd grade me and some other boys were getting beat up by a group of girls who were all feminist rights. I got knocked out for a few minutes. Yard duty did nothing. The boys who saw me get slammed knocked over and injured the girls who knocked me out. The girls got immediate medical help and I was sitting umconcious with my faithful friends carrying me to the principal's office with them. I have never forgot that day. This is a serious problem.

Mr Corndoguy between 11 and 13, girls are stronger than boys because girls start puberty before boys (and after that, boys completely dominate girls for the rest of their lives)

I got a 10 day suspension for tapping a girl to get their attention because it was "Sexual Harassment."

Boys: Oh just stop!
That's how I see your comment
You're not allowed to tap dat in class!
i consider myself to be a common sense kinda guy. if my son came home suspended from school for tapping a girl i would be outraged until i got an answer to my first question 'where did you tap her?' so my question to you is where did you tap her?
adikat2500a, I tapped her on the shoulder.
Lmao people up voting this like it happens in everyday life. When I was a kid(not long ago either) we used to smack the girls asses and pull their bras haha. I don't think much has changed. I just think the Internet allows more people to look for what they want to believe...confirmation bias

Who is getting rid of recess? That's insane. Kids need it.
My schoolended recess after 3rd grade. Now Im in highschool and work from 9:30 am to 9:30 pm with no breaks. Its hell.
I got my young daughter to watch this and she said “For the first time in centuries girls are at the top and now they want to knock us down again. Haven’t we had men standing on us for long enough. It’s about time boys learnt some manners!” and then stormed out of the room I was gob smacked.
how defensive girls can be
Im suuuuure she said that
...did you teach her right? It's most likely a bad parenting... It's not too late to change though
Actually the truth on why we are not in top at school is because boys are slower than girls. I was always slower and girls are more mature and learn things quicker so therefore we fall behind them now. The stuff some girls say on "Boys are allowed to disbehave" Or the boys saying "I got suspended because i mispelled a girls name" Both people who say these things are lying. When i was little i never got introuble i was always quiet but many boys were bad behaving and alwaysed lost recess and stuff. They were treated equally. However i was slower at learning like with reading and some vocabulary stuff and i noticed many boys were more slower than the girls on such things as well while girls remained at the top because boys generally are slower than girls. If this offends you i am sorry but there is no "Boys being mistreated or getting suspended for little things" And there is no "Boys are allowed to misbehave" The truth of the matter is BOYS ARE SLOWER THAN GIRLS! Facts are facts and despite me being a boy i accept girls are faster at learning and outperform us nowtime :D
@@ageis3250 I’m a woman and I went to an all girls school till age 19. I only was educated with males later at collage. Your experience at school gives you a greater understanding on the development of the sexes I can’t argue. In my life’s’ experience, I’m now 50, I’ve found that men and women are pretty equal with these exceptions, men win out on their knowledge of the world and it’s workings and women win out with their wisdom on people. My friend, a male, passed away recently and I always remember he asked me once when I was feeling very broken and low, he said ”if you got the chance to come back, after you die, would you choose to be a man or a woman?” I never considered it before but I replied instantly, “I’d want a man’s body but a woman’s mind”. I must like being me but I’m jealous of their strength and the power they’ve had over the years. How humanity has missed out over all the centuries past, on all those waisted brilliant female minds that never were allowed to reach their full potential. I know some men don’t like feminism but for us girls it’s granted us a path to freedom. Please God may girls keep flourishing in this world. Thanks for inspiring me I loved what you wrote.
as a male I can confirm all of this. I've also noticed that teachers are biased towards females
Yeah, a lot of them are.
+Jor Dan As a extremely excelling junior, I can say that yes, you are absolutely right. Sure I read for six hours straight to get the grades, but does that mean I enjoy it? Not necessarily.
Least half my teachers are hardcore feminists
I guess it's time for an old guy such as myself to reply with a "back in my day" story for comparison. When I was in school (elementary in the 90s, high school at the turn of the century), that's when this kind of stuff was taking root. I remember in the beginning, we were all encouraged to let our individuality flow, creativity was held in high regard, and we used to play all sorts of games and sports, no participation trophies or hurt feelings bs. I used to write stories about guys beating the shit out of each other For Class and nobody told me "that's too violent", they just let me write. The thing is, back then, we had teachers that acknowledged that boys and girls are different, have different interests, and mature differently. No better, no worse, just different. And get this: many of those teachers were women. Maybe it was because they were older and had kids themselves, but I don't know.
I noticed that things were starting to change in the late 90s. Subtly. Things got more authoritarian; more and more activities started to get banned, zero tolerance to the point that if someone attacked you you couldn't even defend yourself without suspension (had to run to teacher, apparently), and all this feelings stuff. Younger teachers were also less accepting of any deviant behavior. I remember one awful teacher I had who hated boys and called us out if we ever did anything wrong. One time, a guy (not a particularly smart one) chewed on one of his pens, common back then, to the point that it burst; she verbally thrashed him in front of the whole class and claimed this never happens to girls because they don't act stupidly. By around '97 and through high school (and college), I noticed that more and more teachers preached their own ideologies often rather than just teach the facts. That's when I knew there was really a storm coming.
These days, every time I hear about stuff that goes on in schools, I think to myself it's gotta be a joke. But, sadly, it isn't. I wish all you kids could have experienced how good school used to be, no bias, no preaching, no conformist propaganda, or zero tolerance. Those days are gone, though. So, my advice to all of you is don't let any of this shit get to you. Don't let the bias get you boys down; keep at your studies, keep up your interests, play sports or whatever you play. Never be afraid to question authority or do your own research, don't buy in just because a teacher says so, and stick up for each other. That goes for both boys and girls alike. And remember to take some time and have fun. You're only young once, after all. Good luck out there.

This ad is saying basically that if you pretend to kill people/bring guns to school then that's a GOOD thing. Ugh. Why does this exist? WHY IS THIS REAL??
What? Elaborate please.
At my job, there are 3 female managers and one male manager, there's 2 walls dedicated to "empowering women" and "empowering women at work!" stickers all over the place. Most of the supervisors are female.
In the city i live, there are multiple homeless men wandering around, whereas the women are in shelters because they have children and get top priority.
in the united states, a lady named Gabby petito went missing and the media has never shut up about it. When a teenage boy goes missing, the media is silent.
In the past 20 years, the amount of young men and teenage boys shooting up their schools and murdering fellow students is alarming. The amount of young men targeting women specifically in these crimes is sad too.
If this is going to change, Young men desperately need empowerment the way women are empowered.
"The amount of young men targeting women specifically in these crimes is sad too." Why? I see it as an absolute win

A woman meaning one, not all women, no hope, because you know something Caffeine, if enough people cared the
educational system wouldn't have gotten too this point, too where it's failing boys even before they step into the classroom.
Amen

According to this video I am a man. I’d go on to make a joke about conservatives suggesting I should transition, when I expected liberals to.
I drew beheaded people and skeletons too and my old teacher loved it. this was early 2000ish
By circa 2008 our new teacher made us guilty being boys too, she didnt even believe us a word when we had arguments with the girls in our class
boy: (draws stick figure holding a sideways L)
Teacher: (alerts the police)
TheDestructiveGiant This literally happened to me when I was a kid
Girl: *whips out gun in class
Teacher: "It's just a prop for her outfit"
Um, can you keep it PG 13 please? I don't want you spoiling my perfect girl behaviour
A Boy Holds A Pen: SUSPENDED and i git detention for nothing and they didnt even say what for so i skipped that shit
TheDestructiveGiant nuca cola :D
One time, I was drawing a tank on a loose leaf sheet of paper and some girl told the teacher that I was promoting a "school shooting"...The girl is currently in Juvie for arson. Karma much.
Edit: She's bound to be released in 2027. By that point, I'll be 21 and successful while she is homeless with no future in sight.

Maybe we need to go back to separate schools for girls and boys.
Ok but what about boys who prefer "girly" things and vice versa?
@@gauthierruberti8065 they can go to the weirdo schools lmao
@@benm8763 this feels pretty discriminatory
@@gauthierruberti8065 force em to boy school they will be considered a weirdo, once they learn, it stops.
I was kicked out of second grade for saying the word "Knife". I never had one, i just said the word.
That teacher should have gotten suspended.
BigD
I don't even know what teacher did it. I said it during lunch.
My principal when I was in 2nd to 8th grade didn't like me. She would always say "why cont you act like Emily?" Emily was basically the ideal child. Screw me for having a dick right?
the teacher should never come to that school again
Wait you got KICKED OUT OF THE ENTIRE 2ND GRADE? For only saying "knife?"
They're tossing out recess ?? no wonder kids have soo many problems LOL
+Nate Finlayson yeah, i was probably born in the last few years where it was mandatory in elementary school. Never had it in middle and currently none in high school
+Nate Finlayson and i just recently saw a video talking about studies showing that more recess is required in order to prevent short-sightedness... welp guess we are all gonna need glasses.
***** omfg, i'm 17 years old and a senior in high school. Students are ALWAYS on their phones, even during class. All i hear is the damn noise of phones dropping on the ground and the sound of texting, getting messages, the picture thingy taking pictures. Like when all this shit started, my faith of humanity went from -100 faith to -999999999999999999999999999999 faith.
+Joshua Rathbun (IDon'tSellCoke) I hear if you lose 1 more faith point, it resets to 0.

Another thing is that like from a young age we're all taught about sexism which is currently used as if it means "to discriminate against women" and female teacher go on and on about females overcoming adversity and all that stuff (not tryna downplay it) and they make it sound like men were self centered and always have been. If I said this in school I'd probably get in trouble or stared at by everyone for being sexist, homophobic, racist, etc
"(not tryna downplay it)" Look how weak you are, disgusting
I’ll Never forget how my female teacher made me write a paper on how colonial women in Massachusetts Churned Butter !
i do believe the entire education system should be gender segregated
my generation has been ruined by this war on men.
Yea same millennial generation is the most feminine generation
Tempus screams
how old are you btw?
This was my endless frustration with my son's primary school. Everything was centred around the girls, absolutely everything. It left my smart, imaginative and active son completely depressed. He felt stupid, frustrated and constantly disapproved of. I used to book meetings with his teacher and ask why my son was graded as a 'C' and not a 'B' (I'm trained as a primary school teacher). I was told repeatedly that he would not be vocal enough in a group project when he was with girls. His stories were 'violent'. He was too boisterous in sport... he never hurt anyone, BUT that didn't matter. The teacher didn't like his vocal way of boosting up his friends and celebrating victories. Nothing I did made a difference, there was one male teacher at his school and he was never my son's teacher. I sounded like a shrill and overly defensive mother when I defended my son.
Luckily now my son is in high school and is given the freedom to be himself, he has lots of male teachers who banter with him... and I am so relieved. He went from a depressed C-grade student to an enthusiastic and capable B-grade student in 6 short weeks. Now, he loves school and has started to believe what I've said all along; he is more than capable! It is unfair to punish our boys for being the wonderful and capable creatures they are. If you're a parent, never stop fighting for your son's right to be a respected member of his classroom. I have deep resentments towards the teachers who dared to squash my son's sense of worth.
Aleah Taylor the depression part and some of my grades are c happens to me all the time, Finland is smart because they actually care for the students look up school days in Finland they get time outside no homework (means no depression from it) rarely any tests (also no depression because no time for studying for 10 hours) if America want to be a good country one it needs to have the health care of Japan, two schools like Finland 3, (this is a joke)
MOTHER RUSSIA MY COMRADES
My family is from Finland but I was born in Australia, I think about the Finnish school system all of the time!
How did they squash your son's worth exactly?
Reis Bob I think I made that quite clear. By demonising him for behaviours that were not destructive or negative and giving advantages to those who had done little to get them. I don't really care if people want to argue with me about my own lived experience, knowing nothing but a TH-cam comment on the situation. Just wanted to say that I saw this and it resulted in unnecessary depression and negative self assessment. If you have a problem with my wording perhaps try to see beyond that to a person who is expressing an opinion about a personal lived experience you weren't there for.
Hmmm see I do a bit of an odd thing every day. I look up left-leaning videos and then right-leaning videos followed by videos by people I find who have more diplomatic opinions. I don't like to think that I'm living in a little echo chamber, so inevitably my comments end up on both right-leaning and left-leaning videos. This means that no matter what I'm commenting on, someone inevitably assumes I'm a stupid member of the opposite side to them and decides to prove me wrong, even on my own experiences. It gets old. I have to sit there and justify my thought process about my own memories of my child, justify my intelligence, justify my objectivity. Let me just say this, as a teacher myself I put my son into school with much excitement and high hopes. I was not scrutinising the teachers and their methods, was not slathering my opinions in any political view I had. But after years of having my child left-out, then speaking to teachers who stuttered their way through explanations that made little sense I was forced to admit to myself that there was just something innate about my quiet, studious, yet quite boyish child that the system did not cater to. My son even requested at a young age that we have 'second school' at home where I could teach him how to 'be left alone to learn'. It was shocking to me and caused me a lot of worry. I am very quiet and softly-spoken myself and found no joy in having endless meetings with teachers. Did I justify my experience yet? Would anyone like me to list my academic accomplishments so that I'm allowed to have a personal opinion on my personal experiences? Or should I just shut up because, at a glance, someone didn't think my experience was level with their experience? If you can't figure out how I think they squashed my son's worth, perhaps instead of requiring a justification, you could assume you're missing the relevant experience to fully understand my point. I know, large response for a little sassy comment... but I don't care. I am sick to death of arrogant people assuming their amazing intelligence outweighs my own and I need to stammer out an explanation to the wording gods. If you don't understand, that's your problem, but don't worry because this has so little to do with you I highly doubt it will impact on your life.
When I was in high school in about 1982, there were posters put up, "Become a woman engineer". I remember thinking, "Great if you are a woman, where is support if you are a young boy like me?"
I was very interested in electronics, maybe engineering is what I want.
With no one there to support me, I gave up until a few years after I graduated from high school.
I was voted most destructive in my class back in primary school. I never felt alienated though. A lot of times it was a laughing matter, the teachers secretly enjoyed dealing with my chaos as a result I was top of my class in both primary and high school. I think the chaos brought out the best in me. I went to a good university now I have a good job.
This was in rural South Africa....
Petition to call this good feminist an equalist, someone that helps fight for the rights of Women AND Men.
Can we get it started?
Indeed, we can but need more of us.
