I tried to look for an explanation for this phenomenon in the article but couldn't find a clear one. What's the reason for this? Are women working so much harder? Are they intrinsically smarter more capable? Is this overcompensation from society trying to fix the pervasive discrimination from the past and forgetting the boys and young men, leaving them behind? Are men trying to "ride the wave" of advantages some may have had in the past without realizing there's no wave? The result is easy to guess. It's what tends to happen to groups who feel ignored, forgotten, that their needs are not addressed in any way while others' needs are. The disillusioned flock to populist and extremist groups with the reasoning/hope that if the current power forgot about them, the opposite of the current power will help them. Or they will resort to violence against the ones they think are getting the unfair attention. For whoever didn't learn from history, extremism of any kind ruins the cake for everyone.

So many theories. I tend to think it has something to do with the decades of men shunning educational professions. All the teachers are women, hence the teaching methods and school organizations are unwittingly gender-biased towards what works for women. As well as just the simple fact that the authority and rolemodel in front of the classroom is a woman, so girls get to look up to those and identify with authority, smarts, learning, teaching. While boys, well... Brawl Stars. So, yeah, that. And internet porn.

  It doesn't help that there's a strong social stigma that males attempting to interact with young children in any fashion must be pedophiles, and teaching is not exempt from this.

  In the US, "on average", a certain group of adult women are significantly more aggressive than adult men, and this really ruins the show. I don't mean merely assertive which is fine. Looking back at all the women I have dated, the few non-aggressive ones were gems. No men would want a relationship with the aggressive women with their egregious levels of hate. I do think that the system of education is to blame for putting society out of balance.

  > I introduce you the law system When the answer to such complex problems sounds so easy, it's probably wrong. Superficially, legal systems are more "after the fact", education is more proactive and could be much closer to the real answer. Everyone has a legal system so if that was the answer in practice, we'd all live in a utopia. Instead I'll rephrase that as "democracy". Democracy really is the dictatorship of the majority. All it takes is a majority to easily redefine what's extremism and what's legal or acceptable. If it doesn't look like the world is starting to polarize towards the extremes then the window of reference can be widened by looking at history. The theory is easy but all too often it fails to stop the practice of extremism from unfolding the same way again and again.

Somebody has answered this below, but it makes sense. Every role model for children is usually a woman,to the point that young girls have troubles where a sport instructor is male rather than female (observed this happening to various children friends with my daughter). Terribly sad. The other, and this is purely based on my unique and personal anecdote, but it applies to myself and my child, the learning style for women is different (talking about percentages and not absolutes, for EVERY statement in this post). Young girls seems to be open to listen, while young boys seem to want to "do on their own", but school does not seem to allow a structure that accomodates young boys for this approach. This is very limited by my narrow view (young children), things do change after high school, but that's still 18 years of our life.
