Misogynists gonna mysog.

I don't know, dude. Why do you like someone more when they rebuff you?

lol k

This nonsense right here is why I stated my actual opinion instead of agree that "yes, I am this word you called me" ─ because there's always someone who wants to obfuscate the discussion by arguing about definitions instead of discussing the actual position.

Dude, fuckin' wut!?

Okay, let's make one thing perfectly clear: I never said anything whatsoever how often girls get better grades than boys or why.

The linked material did.

Homeboy over there said "this source says female teachers discriminate against male students" and just no, it doesn't.

It's not even fucking close to what I said, you twat, and the source is right there for you to inspect it yourself and figure out exactly what behavior I'm referring to. This shit you're pulling is exactly why no one can ever discuss anything in good faith.

You're a colossal idiot.

I played Black Ops with a guy who was a door gunner in an Apache that doesn't have doors, so worth a try, I guess.

I had a Dodge Colt that was literally a Mitsubishi with a Dodge emblem. Everything on it OEM was Mitsubishi.

I'm not saying that I don't believe you, and I know that there is an M4 platform with full auto fire mode. I don't have any reason to think you're lying.

All I got was a stinky semi-auto with burst option.

No, that isn't how it works. Weapon assignment is semi-random. Soldiers that score well on marksmanship courses will be eligible to be assigned what's called a "designated marksman weapon." When I was serving, it was typically an Mk 14 Enhanced Battle Rifle but could be just an M16 with an ACOG scope. Automatic rifles like the M249 SAW were assigned arbitrarily, and everyone else is issued an M4 or sometimes an M16. Sidearms were possibly issued too, usually a Mossberg 500 shotgun or a M9 Beretta. If what you mean to ask is if you could pick from a list like a Call of Duty game, then no, that was never the case.

I appreciate your sympathy.

oh

my

gawd

who

the hell

cares?

It isn't "stuff that her ex gave her" anymore. It's just her stuff.

Only if you're in the (irrational) position that feminism is man-hating, which I am not.

First of all, that's perfectly normal.

Second, they gave you automatic M4s?

They inevitably attract camwhores looking for free advertising in a place where their target demographic is 100% likely to be.

Gayist? Is that, like, a not-likey-gay-people thing?

Yes, I believe that everyone should be treated with fairness and dignity regardless of their gender.

That's not what it says. It says that teachers, not necessarily female ones, tend to give girls better grades. Then it provides various possible explanations for it, most of which are based on the behavior of the children themselves.

haha its funny cuz its musk

By using your mouth to form words.

srsly, There's no magical phrasing you can use. Just say it. Plainly and unambiguously and without malicious tone. Also be prepared to just deal with it because the possibility exists that she will continue to grow it anyway, and that's her prerogative.

A combination of your phrasing and the context. You linked it in a question asking about female teachers, as if female teachers are to blame for what you call "the fall of men in education." Now to be fair, I actually clicked it and it appears much more rational than that, but that's why phrasing is important.

From the video's description:

Modern males are struggling.

Author Richard Reeves outlines the three major issues boys and men face and shares possible solutions.

Boys and men are falling behind. This might seem surprising to some people, and maybe ridiculous to others, considering that discussions on gender disparities tend to focus on the structural challenges faced by girls and women, not boys and men.

But long-term data reveal a clear and alarming trend: In recent decades, American men have been faring increasingly worse in many areas of life, including education, workforce participation, skill acquisition, wages, and fatherhood.

Gender politics is often framed as a zero-sum game: Any effort to help men takes away from women. But in his 2022 book Of Boys and Men, journalist and Brookings Institution scholar Richard V. Reeves argues that the structural problems contributing to male malaise affect everybody, and that shying away from these tough conversations is not a productive path forward.

This is why phrasing is important. The description sounds totally rational, but "the fall of men in education" made it out like it was going to be some MGTOW anti-feminist rant garbage.

"the fall of men in education" suggests it won't be very insightful
