Wot Waverly said!

A sense of purpose is what is missing...a sense of purpose with passion
Too much time, and even less to do with it!
To those of us who had little time to pontificate about tomorrow, because we were too busy doing what was needed today.....where did the time go?

//I thought we were talking about how to encourage boys to achieve//

Yeah, but it seems some people just don't think maths and science are worth the effort :(

Well we might as well know what most of those pesky academics say that West talks about.

Think it goes like this:

Yes,we know that boys' results are bad, and that if you go to school speech days you'll see parade of girls, with a few geeky kids and maybe various migrant kids . Maybe a few Aussie kids getting sport awards . Yes, boys are being suspended and expelled in large numbers , working class and even middle class Aussie boys are being beaten everywhere by girls and sometimes Chinese and Indians.....and when interviewed, they will say school is a complete waste of time.

BUT

This isn't really important because we all know that girls are disadvantaged everywhere you look, Males are nasty, mean and sex-driven and look after their mates really well . Look at who runs all the boards, look at Cabinet Ministers, look at who's on the major companies etc. SO this must be seen as the backlash against feminism's advances and we shouldn't punish girls by doing anything to benefit boys.

OK?
Asking "What about the boys?" is a bad thing, shouldn't be said - and is unfair to girls. To even say those words means you are a nasty Tony Abbott type troglodyte cave-dweller and worthy only of contempt.

I notice ABC has a long segment on domestic violence again tonight. Again!

What's this- some feminist agenda being shoved down our throats? You'd expect some cheerful messages, at least............

Irregardless, feminism is alive and well at the ABC
