Men have been struggling to keep up in many ways in recent decades. I'm glad to see the Army taking this into account and providing a pathway for them. Over the years, men have made many valuable contributions while in the military and it would be a shame to see recent socioeconomic developments reduce their opportunities to continue making these contributions.

It should be noted that systematic bias disadvantages men in other ways as well. For example, if you look at medical research into various diseases you will find far more research into diseases that specifically impact women than research into diseases that impact men. These kinds of biases need to be rectified.
Well there are no laws on the books saying women must be appeased in schools, so it can’t be systemic. Must be bad teachers, I guess the boys and their parents should have tried harder to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
“Why are the teachers bad?” asks a country that pays teachers less than the manager of a McDonald’s in most states.
By your estimation they’ve very successfully indoctrinated an entire generation of young people to become trans and cheer for murderers. Sounds like they’re pretty good at their jobs.

you don't have to answer if you don't want to but is this some unresolved issue with your dad
I suppose that depends on how willing they are to have McDonald’s close during school hours, wait 30 minutes for a cheeseburger or have a machine do it all. I’m not a proponent of artificial wage increases such as a minimum wage, but the free market outcome is either you pay people $20/hour to flip burgers or you watch them go work other places that will pay them $20/hour. Honestly the biggest flaw I see with the current federal minimum wage is that it’s so outrageously low compared to the current cost of living that it tricks people into believing $20/hour or $41,000/year is still an amount that should require skilled labor to earn.
The problem I see isn’t that McDonald’s employees are too highly compensated, it’s that the wages we pay people to do one of our most important societal functions is so low that it ends up being the same talent pool.
Yeah, I wasn’t actually sure what the average wage was by state until I looked it up earlier. It seems like a bit of a flawed comparison given the stark differences in the cost of living between the average schoolteacher in a major city and the K-12 school in the sticks, but I do think a lot of right-wingers who like to go after progressives on education would not love the statistics on blue states vs. red states for things like STEM education.
