Female teachers and boys growing into men

I found this link on Reddit just now...
Why-women-teachers-like-treat-boy-illness

and combined with the PC poll/thread...
http://personalitycafe.com/polls/30283-how-would-you-rate-would-have-rated-your-school-life.html

...it's really got me thinking about how I've grown up.

I'm not so much looking at this article as a objecting to female teachers in anyway, but more about how society is shaping and molding boys to be 'less male' and be more passive.

Discuss please. I want to know what other people think about this article.

That's a too simplistic perspective. It's not the fault of women per se that boy's are being held back, there's just been a very powerful movement in the western societies during the last 50-60 years or so which has turned out to be favourable to women and harmful to men. You could also say that it's the fault of us men for not fighting back. But no matter who you blame for this change, the harsh reality is that it has occurred and needs to be reversed. It would be more constructive to focus on the solution(s) of this problem rather then the cause(s).

OK, I'll have to admit that it's probably insoluble and therefore cannot be reversed (that was a poor choice of words on my part). However, I do think that it's worth fighting against the current ways of feminization... You might be right that it's not soluble but that doesn't mean we can't change anything. In other words this problem might not be soluble but it IS probably solvable. Of course we must not want to go back to the days in which the educational system was men-centric, but we do need to make it less women-centric to the point that men and women have equal chances of success.
