Question by Roger: Do feminists monitor boys performance in schools and college such as enrollment rates, grades, graduation rate?
and so on?
Or is it only girls and women they look at?
If they don’t do you reckon it’s vital men start an area which researches boys and men in education? Seeing as we are slipping behind.
Thankfulness!

I’d imagine they do look at boys too because that’s how they would compare girls’ and women’s achievements. There are a digit of studies (in sociology particularly, see Ann Oakley (1975) ‘sex, gender and society’) that tells us that diff social factors like socialization (ie how u were brought up, what kind of toys you playyed with, etc.), ethnicity, social class (ie if you’re rich or poor), family life, peers, social position, etc all affect educational achievement. This applies to both boys and girls.
What do you reckon? Answer below!

You’re failing in teach and you can’t find anyone else to blame but your female teachers?
Yes they do. Feminists also recognize that men are just as restricted by the social structures as women. Not all men have power.
They monitor both but only have a problem if girls scores are lower than boys.
Really, in my state, we have a digit of college outreach programs as long as special support, mentoring, tutoring, etc for minority males. Or doesn’t that count, if it’s for non-white men? Minority Male Mentoring Program: http://www.johnstoncc.edu/minoritymalementoring.aspx

Yep, it’s tragic how absolutely no one cares in this area men or boys and how they are responsibility in education.
