"Boys' issues are serious and less addressed than those of girls, While both boys and girls face issues — in school and out — the problems affecting boys are serious and have not been properly addressed by policy makers, according to a new review article by psychologist Judith Kleinfeld"
Mr. Obama created a national commission for girls, but turned his back on the boys, especially African American boys. If that is not discrimination I don't know what is.

When I was in the Fifth grade, the teacher would pit the boys against the girls in multiplication table contests. If you got one wrong, you were out, then the winner would be the one who gave all correct answers to about 50 multiplication problems in the least amount of time. I was always in the top three on the boys side. We top boys could look at 5x7, 8x6, etc. and give instantaneously, correct answers. I couldn't figure out how the girls would always beat us on time. Then one day the three fast girls were talking in the hallway and laughing as they recited all the correct answers in the precise order of the table given in class without looking at the table. I thought that was terrible - they had memorized the answers to the table!
So, I complained privately with the teacher. I said, "those girls have memorized the table". The teacher (female) said, "well that's the point".
I said, "but, but . ."
On the day of the final test, however, the teacher handed out a new multiplication table that had the same problems, but in a different order than the table that had been constantly competed in days prior.
Oh, the poor boys! After decades of getting preference they don't deserve, such as having SAT questions re-written so they would outscore girls (I read this in Newsweek recently) and the like, the girls have finally caught up and outpaced them, and now people are crying.
we did not have a boy problem b4, we tanned their hide and sent them to the army to finish raising them. after that they could feed cloth and house themselves no problem.
we have met the enemy, and he is us.

You clearly didn't read this link. It also discussed increased suicide rate among boys. Even a liberal couldn't be that cold hearted.

This has been going on for years. Read the book " The Myth of Male Power" it'll answer many questions. And it is a very interesting book, an eye opener. THE MYTH OF MALE POWER by WARREN FARRELL, Ph.D

You can't argue with Feminazi's. Every ounce of their judgement is clouded by the percieved wrongs committed by men. This post surprises me not one bit.
For many, many years, at least up until the 80's, girls received the short end of the stick. Career expectations were not high for them, they received unequal funding for sports and in many cases women were flat out discriminated against. Things began to change, for the better, with the feminist movement. If the pendulum has swung too far in girls' favor and boys are being ignored, the issues should be addressed.
We need to take care of all our children and provide equal opportunities for them, regardless of their sex.

No controversy . Girls have problems, boys have problems.
