"I see what is going on here is sort of a defection of men out of the mainstream."

Sounds like a bit of MGTOW...

"We've got a generation of dumbed-down guys," said East High School history teacher Gary Buck. "I'm sure parents are tearing their hair out."

Feminism: Don't allow boys to grow into men = dumbed down boys = dumbed down society! lg, does this not ring bells???

Many parents now invest money and hopes in their girls, "because the boys don't have the grades" in high school, said Su Li, a WSU sociologist who did her doctoral dissertation last year on why more women go to college.

Feminism = Affirmative Action...

"It's about time. We should celebrate this."

Ahh, but feminism isn't about supremacy..?

And it's still a man's world: Women earn 75 cents for every dollar men make.

Uhoh - and thus continues the MISSinformation..

Sociologists, teachers, parents and the boys find plenty to blame. Laziness. Video games. Peer pressure. Pop culture. Absent fathers. Schoolwork too focused on assessments.

Ahh, sociology; teaching & parents (assuming we mean single parents) all point to 'absent fathers' (amongst other things)... Well, I have an idea on how to fix that - start handing decent 'access time' & custody over to deserving fathers more often, instead of denying them based on genitalia.

"If society is so bad, then why is it that it seems to be affecting only the boys in such a dramatic way?" said Su Li.

Hmmm, gee - let's hire a rocket scientist to look into the feminisation of our academics, society, governments & so forth, then see if he can supply an answer to the above question. Alternatively, here's my answer:
Society isn't bad to girls - it's a shithole for boys though. End of statement.

"Let's not go there," Matson said. "If wiring had anything to do with it, history would have had us omit blacks and women and gays and people with disabilities from education long ago. We need to fix education; we need to fix the culture of masculinity."

Ahh but doesn't feminism teach that women were kept out? So who's telling the truth - or was it 'truthful' when feminists said women were discriminated against in education but isn't true now to say that men are being discriminated against in education. After all, when it's girls being screwed about - we need to fix society; when boys are being screwed about - we need to fix boys...again. More ritalin please, doctor.
