We can trade anecdotes (and insults) all day long and none of it means a thing. You asked for a specific example and I gave you one. Just the first one off the top of my head. Schools in my area are canceling unstructured outdoor play time, which hurts boys more than girls.
Here's one you're probably more familiar with, since it's nationwide: men being pushed out of careers in education.
I'm sure you'll just move the goalposts on that one too though. "Ah but it's not GOVERNMENT doing it so it doesn't count!" or "I know a male teacher so it doesn't count!"
Got a citation for that? I was of the impression that — especially at the primary level — schools were going out of their way to recruit more male teachers. Now retention may be a different matter. I could be wrong on both counts, though and would like to educate myself.
If they are, it doesn't seem to be working: https://www.menteach.org/resources/data_about_men_teachers/
Unless I'm reading it wrong, this is showing a modest but positive increase in the percentage of male elementary school teachers since the 90's.
I would call it in the range of statistical noise, personally
You didn't give an example of shit. I asked for an example of how boys' rights are being treated and you come up with some wussy nonsense about recess. Give me a break. No one has a "right" to recess, even if your complaints about it were true, which they aren't.
Your ideology is a fragile, weak joke. It's pathetic that the right thinks they own masculinity and strength while acting like a bunch of whiny wimps.
