“My nephew (aged 25) visited at the weekend with his girlfriend. Both went to the same school. The topic of examinations came up, and his girlfriend recounted her French spoken GCSE from some ten years previously. She said that her teacher switched off the recording device many times during the course of the examination, coached her on pronunciation, and allowed retakes.
A straw poll with the young couple showed that this service was offered exclusively to girls.
The conversation progressed to University examinations, particularly the ‘groupwork’ which appears to have been prevalent during Covid, and where young women were the universal defaulters on what had been asked of them… getting lads to do the work for them, or simply not bothering to submit, and suffering no sanction.
The current dogma that women and girls are ‘amazing’ may actually deserve credence. I confess myself amazed by what they are getting away with, in plain sight. In times not so long gone, the ‘qualifications’ handed on a plate to such spoon-fed, mollycoddled refugees from reality could do little damage. They’d spend a couple of years in some sinecure until they could capture a high value man to have a family with.
Now, such women can’t afford to have a family. They won’t face the stark fact that two incomes are becoming a survival necessity, and have been brainwashed into believing that they can do anything. With their feminist ‘boss girl’ aspirations bolstered by their faux qualifications, they’re expecting to have 30 year careers in areas for which they are horribly unprepared to make any sort of positive contribution. The boys will have to take up the slack again, for little or no reward.
This isn’t a situation which can continue indefinitely.”

Quite. This is backed up by research showing that Girls are the beneficiaries of inflated marking in “assessments” (not just in “feminist” countries but pretty universally suggesting gynocentrism). Which became even more obvious with the huge mark inflation during Covid when exams were abandoned. The general failure of the education system to educate and inspire boys and indeed leave many thinking they are “disabled” because of “ADHD” and the like is already having a negative effect for everyone. The ballooning welfare bill for young people, including the boys labelled by schools, increases the national debt and tax take while leaving labour shortages. It also contributes to our sluggish growth and lack of innovation as we have dampened (even demonised) the energy and restlessness of our young men, the demographic that powered “the workshop of the world” and drove our climb out of austerity post WW2.
The process is well symbolised by the current wave of councils instituting a four day week for “work life balance” for their largely female workforce, in effect a 20% pay increase for that much less work. A decrease in productivity and service for more money! Only possible by ripping off the rest of “working people” in their taxes.
“This isn’t a situation which can continue indefinitely.” And we are seeing the wheels fall off in rising debt, inflation, rising interest rates (quite despite the BoE trying to say they’re lower) rising taxes and falling productivity.

Marx and Engels framed communism around the principle: “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”
Notice how neatly that maps onto today’s education system: boys are under-supported, under-encouraged, and left behind, yet when those boys grow into men, they will still be expected to shoulder the heavier burdens of society—financially, socially, and politically—for women who are increasingly over-qualified, over-promoted, and over-paid.
This isn’t accidental. The point of neglecting boys is not to build a sustainable society but to hasten collapse. Only then does the fantasy of communism (or “equity”) look appealing, because desperation makes people accept anything. And yet, in that promised utopia—like every failed communist state before it—it will still be men carrying the weight.
