> Are they struggling, but as opposed to what when compared to women?
Boys and men do worse on a number of things compared to girls and women within, say, US society:
* Worse grades in school
* More frequently disciplined in school
* Lower college attendance and graduation rates
* Weaker friend networks/less emotional support for adult men
* More likely to be imprisoned/found guilty of crimes (especially violent ones)
* More likely to be homeless
* More likely to have dangerous jobs
* Lower life expectancy
* Less likely to have a real relationship with their kids
- pixl97 3y agoFollow up question, is there a country this doesn't hold true in that otherwise has gender equality?
- TulliusCicero 3y agoI dunno if there are any countries with gender equality if you're using a relatively strict definition, as even ones known for greater gender equality still have stark differences in some areas, like occupational choice.

- FireBeyond 3y ago> * Worse grades in school This has gone back as far as the 90s. My school, and many in my state, offered coed math and coed science classes, and female-only math, science classes. A few years of this and they found boys grades had decreased and at an alarming rate. Surprise was expressed by some.
