You have choices. Self limiting behaviour affects many. Whose rut is it? It is not all the fault of dad&mum and 'society'.

This is for fun,

runner sez: "if genders are not different why has the education system been dumbed down in order for boys to do badly and girls to do well?"

We note that runner has on this very site recorded that he did not do well at school, and that his womenfolk have higher degrees.

Maybe it was dumbed down for creationists (like in the USA) and runner still did not make the cut?

'Maybe it was dumbed down for creationists (like in the USA) and runner still did not make the cut? '

sorry to disappoint you Rusty but I have a son (taught to think) doing well in med school. As one uni maths professor rightly says 'atheism is ultimately nothing but one great self contradictory delusion.

btw I was one of your mob (hopelessly lost sinner) when I struggled so much at school. Learning to think outside that dogma has helped me greatly.

Runner, *you* claimed it had been dumbed down. Perhaps this is the real cause? Is that the reason why your wife and daughters passed? *you* proposed it as the reason why females in particular were passing. *maybe* it is the reason your son is too.

I would suggest that your son's success has little to do with the flawed reasoning you yourself display.

You are not qualified or able to asses whether a mathematics professor "rightly" thinks anything. You have used such pompous non-quotes before and been found ignorant of the clear views of those you so ambiguously refer to. Which mathematics professor? when? in which journal or textbook? See here for an example of your tedious dishonesty, and how easy it was to find a clarification at odds with your own views.

If you find yourself at odds with our education system, I would regard that as an endorsement of our universities.

Judy probably does not know the story of the King with no clothes. If she did she would know that all the adults in the town had all gone to university, had all studied either sociology or social science and journalism and couldn't see the truth that was before their eyes.
It was left to a child not afllicted by false opinions to see that the king had no clothes.
In much the same way parents, who take their boy child into the pink aisle of the toy shop, and who build doll houses for him while lamenting the stereotypical language that makes the child want to run around outside shooting with a toy gun or chasing a ball or climbing a tree or wrestling with his friend, are blinded by their opinions to see the truth about the difference between boys and girls.
But the boy child knows.

Yea Yea Rusty try Dr John Lennox from Oxford. Stop rading only the athiest bigots.

by the same token if you find yourself at odds with the bible, I would regard it as an endorsement of it validity.
