The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Tonight's lineup. A weird mix, but whatever. Citizen Kane/Schizophrenia/Swallowed in Black

I don't agree with this. What has changed significantly in the home life to cause this vs. what has changed in the education system and teaching methods? I think you'll find that the latter has had the largest impact on boys in school. Parents didn't just suddenly become useless at raising their sons in the last 20 years.

But teachers did become suddenly useless, despite a usually strict curriculum followed generationally? It's absolutely the parents. Social class is heritable and trash will begat trash.

"Suddenly" is a totally unsupported figure regardless, there is no significant negative change in literacy rates, crime rates, etc in American children.

School and society has become anti-male, in-so-far as males don't act as females. The last havens are male team sports and to an increasingly lesser degree, fraternities, the military, and gangs.

The thing I find most in common with these groups, save for maybe gangs, is a predilection towards anal sodomy in guise of hazing. Not surprising though, since man probably evolved ahead of women upon the enlargement of our prostates, whereby men could pleasurably have sex with each other without the baggage of childbirth and fathering, forming bonds of pederasty which would survive well past the neolithic into the iron age.

That's not what I said.

Spoken like a true edgelord.

I wasn't saying that teachers have become useless, rather that the education system in most western nations has made it their mission to focus on and improve the female rates of success in schools and this has had a (unintentional I'm sure) backlash with males. It's a matter of the method of teaching that has changed and since education is top down the teachers cannot be blamed for what they're asked to engage in.

But you're right, it is an issue of the lower classes.

Oh, I missed the full context, which is even more absurd than I had initially though. Please point to evidence of this "backlash with males".

Lower classes have always existed and have always displayed heritable failure, with the occasional cherry-picked Ben Carson or whatever to maintain the illusions that social mobility is easy to overcome if you just work hard (the conservative illusion) or that poverty can be solved by pulling a few social engineering levers (the liberal illusion).

EDIT: I take it back, the previous page had nothing to do with gender gaps or anything other than a brief RedPill(tm) you dropped at the end of one post, you're just being a dishonest cunt as always.

lol, what exactly is it that you think you've trademarked?

What exactly makes you think that using a trademark symbol means you've trademarked something?

I'd recommend you read The Minds of Boys by Michael Gurian or at least look up the sources and studies he cites in it. I'd love to have a giant autistic debate with you (not really) but I'm on a worksite right now.

on a semi-related note, idk if any of you heard this story but it made national news here and even some international news sites i think. this happened at my high school (sry if i mentioned it already): http://www.telegraph.co.uk/educatio...ents-complain-about-Muslim-prayer-lesson.html

I have worked at this school! But this was before my time.

That might actually be a problem because it's a "liberal" state. Can't have the kids have their feelings hurt or something. I don't agree that teachers should be fired for things like that, at all. She basically slammed the little cunt with a zinger and no doubt the no nonsense emotions based policy backfired on her, when it's actually supposed to make sure kids don't bully each other. Sounds like the exact kind of mess that would come out of a school in a "liberal" state.

Eh. Fuck knows what America is like but it was virtually always the more reactionary, conservative parents moaning and meddling when I was at school and going by what my mum, who works in a school, says, that's pretty much still the case.

Again, and I presume America is somewhat different (and it obviously varies greatly throughout the country), the whole 'all university students are snowflake libertards' thing that elements of the media go on and fucking on about has never been my experience of universities in the UK. The vast majority of students don't go to things like talks and debates so it's impossible for them to 'no platform' people speakers. Most just want to have fun and do well enough to get a job that isn't total fucking balls when they leave.

A single person on my course said something or other about some of the 'inappropriate' comments one of the lecturers had made and the reaction of virtually everyone else was to mock them.

The 'outrage' of so much of the media directed towards this small minority of 'outraged snowflakes' is just as fucking bad.

I just skimmed it and couldn't find a single chart or table that demonstrated that male student outcomes have worsened over the last few decades. All I've learned is that you get your talking points from self-help books written for middle-aged mothers with unruly children.

Probably true but I was implying that the "liberal" faculty probably came down hard on her due to a "liberal" environment at the school as well as more "liberal" pro-fee feez policies.

lmao for real? that's my hometown. when were you there?

 

[Vilden]

It is now revealed that Phylactery is Old Wainds old homeroom teacher and in reality the guy who've conditioned him to like FAFTS and TRITSIO instead of left wing activism and islam.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i briefly considered that but the event in the article is after my time haha

 

[Vegard Pompey]

It would be an awesome twist if Phylactery turned out to have taught no country, but I don't think the ages line up. Unless no country had to repeat a grade... many, many times.

 

[Phylactery]

Then I could be blamed for his failings in A Level maths . But no it doesn’t line up and we’re too similar in age.

 

[no country for old wainds]

depending on when it was you might still have seen me if you ever went in the nearby sainsbury's convenience lol. although i think i'd remember a polite nerd in a sacramentum shirt

Maybe you did see him, but dismissed it as your own reflection in the vegetable aisle mirror.
