I Am Fascinated By Human Behavior
Why do you think girls are now doing better in school than boys and girls outnumber boys in graduating college? In fact, from what I've heard more women are the breadwinners of the family than men at least in the millenial age group. I think at least part of it is boys are disciplined less and parents are generally more demanding of girls. I'll never forget what a sub teacher said to a bunch of boys who were goofing off when I was a senior in high school. He said, "in every school I go to I see boys misbehaving while the girls study hard and get good grades. Do you know what'll happen someday fellows? Women will take over the world." Most men will object to this, but girls and women are not trying to compete with or outperform men. It just seems to be happening naturally with boys and men goofing around and being lazy.
