UK: An article states that boys should be treated as boys not girls

Article here. Excerpt:
"Boys stink. In the past 50 years their reputation has plummeted. In the 21st century they are seen as bad, mad or sad. T-shirts for little girls say “Perfect Princess”, their brothers' say,“Bad Boy”
...
Everyone does them down. The only advertisements about boys are for washing powder. When a primary school in Cornwall discovered that its reception year contained only boys, the teacher was treated as a heroine for taking them on.
...
...They don't necessarily need a male teacher, but they do need one who understands the importance of exercise as much as empathy.
The 1950s got it right. Boys like hanging around in groups analysing motors rather than emotions and then coming back for a hug with their mother. They need hobbies such as sailing, fishing, football, cycling and surfing to focus them, or they will end up feeling redundant. They prefer missions that don't just include tidying up their room.'

So what?

Just another blabbing of either too stupid or too smart woman who either ignores or wants to hide MUCH MORE SERIOUS problems with girls:

----------

One of the most alarming revelations was ninth-grade girls are engaging in alcohol use and binge drinking more often than boys in their grade.

The survey showed 36 percent of freshman girls report having used alcohol in the last 30 days, and 20 percent have drank five or more alcoholic drinks in a couple of hours, compared to 26 percent and 16 percent, respectively, for freshman boys.

----------

New research has revealed more young women and girls in New South Wales are using drugs than their male counterparts.

The Nationwide survey shows five percent of NSW females have tried illicit substances over the last year compared with just over three percent of boys.

Single men is the only social group benefited from feminism.

If you have a son, do you want him growing up thinking like a girl?
