Subject: Scholastic Expectations,Girls vs Boys

Julie Wilson makes an interesting point when she says that men should address their immaturity by accepting the moral guidance of women in their lives.

Several years ago, I read of a proposal from an ardent feminist who suggested that a school be established that would treat all students as if they were girls. The staff would be all-female, and girls would outnumber boys. But boys would be required to wear the girls' uniform and take secretarial, dancing, sewing, and cooking classes, while the girls would be encouraged to take more science, engineering, and math classes.

Her thought was that if society is producing more women who are prepared for positions of leadership, it should also produce some men who are prepared to support them. And educating boys in an all-female environment could encourage boys to be better communicators and less prone to violence.

Is this social engineering? Hardly. There is dignity in all forms of work, and encouraging some boys to become secretaries and homemakers merely reverses what many schools still teach (boys play football and girls are the cheerleaders).
