Once again the discussion ignores the fact that Americans changed their grading practices so that girls can have an advantage over boys in all subjects. England has the many of the same social problems affecting boys but there boys maintain their advantage in math and science throughout their schooling.

Education in England has a different issue that negatively affect boys, the inability of the system to adapt to students progressing at slightly different rates. This is one area where American schools have the advantage.

This is a well researched topic going back decades. Advocates for boys are undermining their relevance if they are not prepared to even discuss this issue.

Some of us are old enough to remember when businesses went through a season in which employees were considered a business asset. "A happy employee is a productive employee" was for a time constantly said to encourage management to treat employees rightly. That did not survive the onslaught of Marxism with its relentless class warfare that has become more de rigour in the 21st century.

The massive invasion of third world immigrants has fueled class warfare as it were dumping gas of a fire. Marxists feast on warfare like vampires. Christianity has not resisted Marxists ideology. Christian pastors have become the most bloodthirsty warmongers in America, regularly celebrating the warriors manufactured by America's addiction to wars. The Prince of Peace has been banned from the Church he created.

Listened to the podcast by Lyman Stone. Very enlightening. I have been tracking this demographic issue for over 20 years now when I worked supporting DoD. I concur that by calling it a "crisis" adds to the problem, yet the macro ramifications need to be addressed.

For years now, in the prolife debate I have continued to argue that we as prolifers need to put this in a larger context stating clearly that those who support legalized infanticide (abortion) are on the wrong side of history. As the population ages, future generations will look back at this period of history in the same horror we now look back at slavery. 20-30 years from now, people will be saying "What? Wait? We were allowing and promoting the legalized murder of unborn children?"
