boys are suspended at twice the rate of girls and disciplined harsher for the same behavior. that’s the literal definition of being held accountable at a young age. the world’s most respected think tank (brookings) just published a definitive study about how societal trends around empowering women have come at the expense of young adolescent men causing them to fall behind academically. what accountability exactly are you saying girls uniquely face that men don’t??

they could just socialize boys the way they do girls but that would be emasculating so now everyone has to suffer instead

i wasn’t arguing that girls exceeding causes boys to decline lmao but you just undercut your own claim. if girls mature faster because of how they’re socialized, that’s not maturity, that’s conditioning. maturity is developmental. you can’t say ‘girls are more mature’ and ‘girls are socialized to seem more mature’ — those are different claims… pick one

yeah that’s a fair point. the pressure on boys to not show the traits coded as feminine is a huge part of why they fall behind, and it comes from all directions. we probably agree more than it seemed

if you bothered to read the study it explains how the education system shifted in ways that favor girls and leave boys behind. respectfully, saying boys simply aren’t socialized to apologize is one of the most ignorant things someone has ever said on here 😂😂 that’s a huge claim about parenting and culture, which varies enormously. plenty of boys are raised to take accountability. the ones who aren’t, aren’t failing to mature they’re being failed by how they were raised.

*if u think

Idiotic take men just get away with bs we are held accountable for at a young age….

how do girls exceeding make boys decline? maybe the way boys are socialized causes them to expect things to come easier to them. the ways girls are socialized causes them to become mature faster obviously

girls aren’t socialized to SEEM more mature, they are socialized to BE that way. to take accountability, to do the right thing, to apologize when they are wrong, which boys simply aren’t. btw girl you literally said “societal trends around empowering women come at the expense of boys, causing them to fall behind” 😭 how are u gonna comment that and immediately deny it

go hang around the boys and girls of literally any year at northeastern and tell me they are at the same level of maturity 😭 of u think men are raised to take accountability ur fkn blind babe
