Reddit reviews The War Against Boys: How Misguided Feminism Is Harming Our Young Men

This book, written 7 years ago, goes into great detail about how public education is very much rigged for female success. The author is a feminist that had a son and became dismayed by the double standards and lack of support for boys in school.

Read The War Against Boys by C.H. Sommers. It makes your above statement moot and uninformed.

The disadvantage that young boys currently have at Primary School. This of course leads the current failure of men in all forms of Education.

The War Against Boys is a term used by Anti-Feminists (read Idiological Feminists) in general. While I don't agree with that, I think that our failure to recognise and deal with the issue is down to some malicious societal context and so I also use the term.

If you like, you can simply reimagine what I wrote as: Primarily I want the disadvantage our boys have at school to end.

Christina Hoff Sommer's book is very good on the matter, if you ignore the anti-feminist rhetoric it brings up many good points

Here's one article in which a noted academic proves feminists deliberately corrupted domestic violence research to hide evidence of female perpetrators http://www.avoiceformen.com/feminism/how-feminists-corrupt-dv-research/

Here's an entire book from another noted academic on how feminists are deliberately turning the education system against boys http://www.amazon.com/The-War-Against-Boys-Misguided/dp/0684849569

There are many, many, many more pieces of evidence that show the supremacism of the feminist movement.

Point out to me the big movement of feminists trying to end the anti-male Title IX and all of the efforts to require that women register for the draft. Got some web sites or news stories about feminists fighting the War Against Boys?

I can't believe I hadn't thought of this, because it's important: Find 'The War Against Boys' by Christina Hoff Summers in your local library, or order a copy.

In brief, there was a survey done by the AAUW that painted girls as victims and boys as oppressors / benefactors of The Patriarchy. This report was a major factor in shaping gender policies in schools throughout the late '90s to the present day. She examines the survey and report, and shows its weaknesses and biases.

Here's a piece she wrote that advocates for a conservative morality and traditional values: http://books.google.com/books?id=tGPYH6dnrEMC&pg=PA248&vq=sommers&dq=%22traditional+values%22+%22Christina+hoff+sommers%22&lr=&source=gbs_search_s&sig=ACfU3U36y2jiv3LaemaskAgGF0gbH9bsbA#v=onepage&q=sommers&f=false

The sample covers all but the last two pages of the chapter.

But it's not just that she supports traditional conservative values, she also argues directly against lots a feminist ideas. She has written that feminism is anti-male student and education is biased in favor of women (http://www.amazon.com/The-War-Against-Boys-Misguided/dp/0684849569#), that the gender wage gap is a myth (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/christina-hoff-sommers/wage-gap_b_2073804.html), and most relevantly that “it is no longer reasonable to say that as a group, women are worse off than men.” (http://www.aei.org/article/society-and-culture/msinformation/)

You can agree or disagree with the things she says, that's not the point. The point is she does not believe the things that almost all feminists believe, so it doesn't make sense for her to label herself a "feminist." Especially because of the last quote. It doesn't make any sense to take up the feminist cause if you don't think that women are worse off than men. Feminism is literally built on that idea. If you think women are no worse off than men, how can you possibly think that a "feminist" movement is something worthwhile?
