The good old sex wars

It is interesting to realize that when newspapers talk about gender,  it is more often than not to contrast them and to tell its readers that one sex is in danger, in crisis or that something has gone terribly wrong. I wonder if when it comes to gender, if there is anything going right. Have we made progress or have we regressed? Are girls or boys in crisis? Are real men dying and are real women anti-feminists? Is the gap between the sexes narrowing, closed, nonexistent, irrelevant, growing, or unbridgeable? The one thing about sex wars that we can know for sure is that they will never end because as many wars, they are interesting, bloody, and profitable even though they are fruitless.

What about the black boys who are dropping out of high school at a much higher rate than black girls (completion rate of black boys compared to black girls is 100 to 139)?

How come no boy-girl graduation comparisons made for Asian, Latino, and other ethnic groups?

How come no statistics analyzed by family income?

How come no high school educators included in the authorship of the opinion piece?

Why can't feminists demand that girls be forced to register for the military draft and forced to serve in the military as a duty of citizenship?

All too soon we'll be living in an America where girls go off to college and boys go off to war. It is entertaining to watch though.
