Where did you get those statistics? Because they are completely untrue. Its true that more and more women these days are enrolled in post secondary education institutions but the number of set affirmed "geniuses" and doctorates is still male dominated.

Now, one could make the blah argument that this all because of "male dominance culture repressing females" blah blah blah (which would be untrue given the fact that funding for advanced placement programs is even ended.)

But in actuality, the things that make men the "carnal base of evil" in this world (i.e. aggressive, brash, competitive) is also the reason why there are more guys who are "geniuses."

Women in general occupy the median baseline when it comes to I.Q. ratings where as with guys, its polar. They are either really really smart... Or just really really dumb .

Wow you responded as if my comment was a bat to your scrotum. Wow you responded as if my comment was a bat to your scrotum. Why does it bother you, if your a intelligent man with a high IQ then you shouldn't be fazed by my commentary. I didn't say anything about "confirmed" geniuses only advanced degree holders. Nor did I "demonize" men in my statement you stated that.

Actually I responded in a similar manner that you gals pretty much would if the information presented was "skeptical" . But lets not get bogged down with semantics. Why are you insinuating that I took the attack personally? Was it your intention of aim the proverbial bat at my scrotum ?

Offcourse it doesn't bothers me. Hell I would be DELIGHTED if more and more women would follow through more technical based degrees such as medical sciences, Engineering, etc. My wife for instance is currently finishing her MD certification . All the more power to women like her.

And the link you provided gives me hope. I am happy that there are more and more young women entering the work force with advance degrees under their belt. But I wonder though... What are the statistical results of groups beyond the age of 29?

I for instance am a Master's Degree holder and I need fair amount of experience before I can even begin to write my thesis statement for my PHD. I need to look at the breakdown of the statistics more before finalizing a viewpoint on the findings.

That much I knew and I am VERY pleased about that! I would like more women to be involved with this.

I never met any of these so-called women (though the ever popular and bat-guano crazy Valerie Solanas did mention a need to do that in her SCUM Manifesto) so I don't know how much truth there was to it...I find it believable that there may be a dozen like that, not enough to really do anything, but the OP just made me wonder if she hadn't just been approached by such a member of the supposed conspiracy I heard about.

That just proves that this days there are more woman interested in higher education than man...and i can agree with that. Those statistics are from 2009 - might be around 70% by now. ^^ I'm not really surprised taking in consideration "the toys of today" - which are more entertaining for man than for woman... starting with console gaming and of course "the internet... and PORN".

How is that - one might ask (especially a woman)?

Well, it's quite simple actually.... back till '80's - '90's - not to mention "the previous years" - porn was limited to magazines and video cassettes, most men had just magazines to entertain themselves - wile even those that had a VCR's had just 1 or 2 cassettes with porn on them... Well, all that changed with the introduction of "high speed internet..." when - the porn industry in terms "free content" increased beyond the imagination of any human being... maybe even if we take the imagination of all humanity and put it together - it can't contemplate on the vastness of porn that's out there since then...

Still not following me? ...still confused? ^^

...let's go back in time... back to our ancestors - cause even tho we evolved from a technological point of view - the man of today "still has a hunter gatherer brain"...and the opposite sex - as in "woman" - was/is our primal motivation in improving ourselves... that's the way nature intended. Basically - it all comes down to this: back in the old days - a man would have access to a limited number of females which was mainly related to his status in society. Same rules apply to the man of today - yet "porn" changed all that... even tho it wasn't that dangerous till 80's - 90's - it got very dangerous after high-speed internet became available...

Dangerous, how come (one might ask)?

Simple - porn gets men less motivated in to achieving higher status - which wasn't the case with the men of the old days... a young man can have access to more female content in 5 minutes than our ancestors could in several lifetimes... the man brain was simply not made for porn and here's a detail explanation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKDFsLi2oBk As a result of that - more and more woman of today feel like they need to be self-sufficient... in case you haven't noticed - marriage is not a priority anymore...

So, hey... maybe you take pride in more woman being interested in higher education - yet all that proves is that - the interest of men got lower from this point of view... and that should worry you. Since woman can't really switch places with men - it's not like you'll see men giving birth to babies any time soon ^^... yet "they can switch roles" - so if on top of being a woman, you wanna be the one that provides for the family as well... what can i say: "be careful what you wish for, cause it might come true!" - and many woman wished they'd be more like man - wished the power of men... but "wishes can be tricky" - they got what they wanted but not how they wanted it.

Though I was placed in a special class as well, a behavior related one called ABC (Adaptive Behavior Class) which was almost all boys (only 2 other girls besides me). But it makes sense to me that boys would get targeted more often because they tend to be far more openly aggressive, violent (including school shootings), and challenging whereas girls tend to be a lot more indirect, favor shunning & gossip over physical intimidation, passive aggressive, and sneaky, especially when it comes to things like booze and sex (and thus are much easier to overlook by apathetic adults). Even the girls who are just as openly violent and such as the boys tend to be thought of as less threatening due to size and reputation so even then there's a slight more chance to go after boys (medicate them, put them in special classes, etc) more.

Though it can get so ridiculous that I heard of a boy (4 or 5) in Texas who got suspended and written up permanently for "sexually harassing" his teacher (he hugged her). The parents fought it and at least got it off his permanent record, but that's just damn frightening, I mean sure someone mentally ill like that teacher could get a job but that the faculty would back her insanity up instead of firing her (or at least forcing her to get some counseling while throwing out her complaint) is what's scary. (And why would ANYTHING done by a 5-year-old get put on someone's permanent record? People are messed up.)

You misunderstood (cherries and pineapples type of misunderstanding) - i never said that boys lost interest in school cause of porn, it's not about loosing interest in education - but about "lowering the interest in terms of procreation - finding a mate". From a "natural (the way nature intended)" point of view - "for a healthy male, the females from our species represent the highest level of motivation - in terms of reaching a higher status in society" ...and same goes for most species. Don't get me wrong - it's not that men see porn as an alternative to woman (some do - but that's a different story) - it's about the possibility to experience life from a different perspective - compared to our ancestors which had to strive to be the best and earn the right to be around a female - "the right to chose...". As long as you have access to internet - doesn't matter who you are as a man or what you can do - from early age you have access to a virtual harem:

...that, "without earning this right (the way it was intended)". It's not that men lose interest in real woman - but "many, put less effort in what they do for woman". So, the woman of today have a hard time competing with fantasies - getting half the men of yesterday - the other half being wasted on those fantasies... We live in a time when woman get to complain about not getting enough sex - even tho, their man is not cheating on them (technically), as it was the case with the women from previous times - when feeling the same. Maybe some men have a low sexual drive - but those are subjective examples.

And since you mentioned "boys" and porn - well, they might be to young to be affected by porn from this point of view (striving to be the best for woman) - that happens latter in life, but the situation is very serious even for teenagers (or should i say - especially). Affordable high speed internet became available at a larger scale around 2006 - and the effects of porn as a result to that was documented only recently - around 2009... the "old type of porn" wasn't dangerous, which is why most men from older generations weren't that affected. As for younger generations - the danger in their case can imply - erectile dysfunction at early ages (15 years old - for example) - which happens at a brain level (as mentioned above - our brain wasn't prepared for porn) not a physical level - as it is with elder persons. And obviously - that will effect their evolution in life, even more than that - it increased the rate of suicides.

...yep, based on what you detailed - that's clearly a form dyslexia.

I can relate with dyslexia - but not that specific type... i was able to adapt - enough to be above average, so people took me as "lazy" instead... they kept saying that I'm intelligent but very lazy... which was a half truth... I learn things better on my own - especially if they catch my attention but i simply - can't learn from people that "teach just for the sake of teaching", people that don't put their soul in what they teach - they just do it to get their paycheck - as if working on a "production line" and I'm suppose to be - just another product... I feel uncomfortable around such people, so even tho I'm staring at them as if listening - my mind is in a different place... sometimes i used to doodle - but that wasn't possible with every class... ^^

Here are the main symptoms for dyslexia: http://www.dyslexia.com/library/symptoms.htm
