I am referring to the last decade. Many changes in school have been
fairly malignant from the staindpoint of what little boys need to learn
best. Without any referrence at all to the needs of little girls.
But it is all perfectly consistent with the feminist goal of
empowering women in relationship to men.

A Sign of desperation - frantic subject changeing.

Feminist in education-wanting to see girls have less reason to be
dependent on men - by making boys less well educated.
Of course that would be evil. Like that would bother any of your
ilk.

Frantic subject changeing.
Besides, trhe big change has been in weaker performance by guys, not
better by girls. If girls were simply doing better, average performance
(boys and girls) would be improved but it is not.

A deeply incoherent sentence. You are just trying to pump out enough
fog to cover up your feminst crimes.

It is not clear at all that girls are doing better in math and
science than they used to. Boys are simply doing worse.

Girls are "catching up" because someone is tripping little boys.

Irrelevant - subject changeing.
In a generation or so, your sons and daughters might well be both
looking forward to a job working as a low wage assembly worker in a
Chinese owned toy factory. But you will have finally gotten the
"equality" you say you want.
