Hell yeah! All of this needs to happen.

but I’m curious, what do you mean by equality in the education system?  What’s going on there?

At the root?
it’s the literacy thing. and the recess thing.
Literacy:
Phonics(learning words by breaking them down into units) is the best way to learn english.
in an effort to ‘equalize’ elementary classrooms because boys were advancing literacy quicker than girls, feminists advocated the whole language(figure out what the word means with ‘context clues’ and ‘reading and listening’) which girls out preformed boys.
for all that girls on phonics out  preformed girls on whole language, at least this way girls were doing better than boys was the thought.

Well it turns out that if boys really don’t learn how to learn how to read in elementary they really don’t ever learn how to read. TV replaces books really fast.
 

Recess:

Boys (and some girls)  need to play to learn better, but aren’t allowed ‘aggressive’ play and in a growing number of schools there’s no recess at all. and are required to sit in a desk for 8 hours  day. This leads to all sorts of misbehavior -which when you add in the fact that 73% of elementary teachers are women being taught that boys that act out need to be disciplined and ‘must learn to respect women now or they never will’, that pilling is a solution….
you end up with boys being diagnosed with ‘developmental disorders’ (ADD, ADHD, ODD…etc) at a 2x-5x the rate of girls. 

Add both together and you have a rising rate of boys dropping out of class, being pushed into Special ED, becoming delinquent, not being able to process upper level english skills, and overall being a ball of fail.


There’s pushback by feminists on this. They insist that it’s all actually misogyny(but actually hurting boys), that only ‘conservatives’ are presenting the data(not true) ‘maybe girls are just smarter’(oh gods do we even have to go there), ‘oh but this effect inner city boys even more than suburban is must be a race thing’(race increases marginalization you say?). and whole bunch of whine about the ‘greater patriarchy’(red herring).

All that really needs to happen is an affirmative action on male elementary teachers(feminists can’t decide if they actually want this-men benefiting? but destroying the notion that teaching is ‘women’s work’ hmm…) Bringing back phonics(easy) and bringing back a long or a pair of short recesses (idiots think it’s a ‘waste of time’-are wrong)

easy enough right?

My psych teacher told me yesterday that if you hold a boy back a year then the differences in grades almost completely vanishes, because boys—SHOCKER!—develop differently than girls, and vice-versa.

So if you put you daughter into kindegarden when she’s 5, then you should wait till your son is 6-7 to put him in the same class. People may not realize, but those “short” time differences make a world of a difference in developmental ability.

Same thing with having two 30-minute recess breaks a day. That helps bolster young men’s marks as well. Boys need more room and time to burn off excess steam than girls. If you give them that extra room and time, then BAM! Marks go up.

Our society has taken to this ideology that all children and all people learn the same way, and at the same rate; this is undeniably false.

gender roles     equality     misogyny     misandry     education    
"Teachers are often unaware of the gender distribution of talk in their classrooms. They usually consider that they give equal amounts of attention to girls and boys, and it is only when they make a tape recording that they realize that boys are dominating the interactions.

Dale Spender, an Australian feminist who has been a strong advocate of female rights in this area, noted that teachers who tried to restore the balance by deliberately ‘favouring’ the girls were astounded to find that despite their efforts they continued to devote more time to the boys in their classrooms. Another study reported that a male science teacher who managed to create an atmosphere in which girls and boys contributed more equally to discussion felt that he was devoting 90 per cent of his attention to the girls. And so did his male pupils. They complained vociferously that the girls were getting too much talking time.

In other public contexts, too, such as seminars and debates, when women and men are deliberately given an equal amount of the highly valued talking time, there is often a perception that they are getting more than their fair share. Dale Spender explains this as follows:

The talkativeness of women has been gauged in comparison not with men but with silence. Women have not been judged on the grounds of whether they talk more than men, but of whether they talk more than silent women.

In other words, if women talk at all, this may be perceived as ‘too much’ by men who expect them to provide a silent, decorative background in many social contexts. This may sound outrageous, but think about how you react when precocious children dominate the talk at an adult party. As women begin to make inroads into formerly ‘male’ domains such as business and professional contexts, we should not be surprised to find that their contributions are not always perceived positively or even accurately."

STFU-Misandrists: White Male Privilege

clintirwin:

Attributing school shootings to white male privilege is stupid and compounds the problem. People don’t get guns and start shooting because they are privileged and they expect to be heard because they are not getting all the toys they were promised. Young men, mostly white, do…

I suggest all females watch this.

*i suggest all humans watch this.

If you haven’t watched this yet, you really should.

This is a must, girls and boys.

I agree that everyone should watch this. This is one of the few videos on female representation in the media that at least tries to point out that the way females are represented has a negative effect on everyone, not just women. 

I love that this`touches also on how media affects men, but wow. Stereotypes are perpetuated by television more than in reality, and they are so skewed because they have to be provocative or funny or any number of things that aren’t complete or real enough.

This affects not only women and men, but race, gays and lesbians, trans people, all people.

We all struggle against what we are supposed to be, what we are told we should be, and yet when positions in media and PR change, the image doesn’t. Because people get those positions by conforming to that image, and breaking out risks loss.

This is why it is so hard for anyone to be who they really are, because they are so busy being what other’s expect so as not to be harassed for not being what they are supposed to be.

Oh man, Geena Davis. I love her with all -y heart.

All my followers should watch this video

Everyone needs to watch this and see how harmful misrepresentation and perpetuating harmful stereotypes are not just to a minority group, but to everyone.

Only by adapting a new way of thinking, by treating everyone equally, and even eroding gender roles, can we influence our peers and perpetuate something good.

Holy shit. Did I just see a piece of art on the #sexism tag that actually promotes actual equality?

This poster is available here

GENDER EQUALITY FROM BOTH SIDES FOR ONCE.

This poster hung in every room of my high school.

I don’t normally reblog much, but fucking thank you.

The oppressions of sexism are varied, but they are a universal, inherently human condition.

ACTUAL EQUALITY, NOT JUST CATERING TO FEMALES. THANK. GOD.

i have been looking for something like this for a while. straight on my blerg.
