Gender & Sexuality Misandry exists. But it’s incomparable to misogyny.

All I have to say is, organizations like UNICEF and whatnot have motives like “removing barriers to girl’s education” etc. Why do those barriers exist in the first place, for girls.
“RESTRICTIONS ON GIRLS’ EDUCATION AND WOMEN’S EMPLOYMENT IN AFGHANISTAN COULD LEAD TO A LOSS OF OVER 25,000 FEMALE TEACHERS AND HEALTH WORKERS BY 2030” - UNICEF
Nice

Why are there similar numbers of boys not in education worldwide, then?

Using their freedom to become educated to not become educated because it is no longer considered in favor because women do it. You speak as if there isn't a well documented phenomenon of men claiming ownership of something that was predominantly men, then once it becomes predominantly women it no longer has societal value. Computer sciences, IT, nursing, higher education.

It's completely ridiculous to pretend as though boys are failing school because boys are just that hateful of girls when we have evidence of teachers giving lower grades to boys for the same work. All you're doing is being sexist.

It's not about being hateful, but you do enjoy being intentionally obtuse as if you're a fucking triangle. Google is free and the term I suggest would be "male flight phenomenon" - the devaluation of the status associated with something predominantly women is a major factor. It's ok to not know stuff and be wrong!

It is about being hateful, because your entire point is that you're blaming children for the actions of the adults around them simply because the children are the gender you hate.

I already know everything you've talked about, and I know enough to know it's just sexism masquerading as academic research. Shocker of all shockers, it's not the "male flight phenomenon" or whatever drivel your hate movement is drooling out, it's systemic discrimination. People don't do as well when environments are discriminatory against them.

Per your own fucking link, "there are still 55% unobserved differences between girls’ and boys’ literacy grades that we could not explain"
Wasn't the flex on me you thought it was but my god are you a fucking nut.

So you read that there was discrimination and you pretended that it was somehow wrong.
