Let's talk about an actual men's issue that's been nagging at me for a while. I used to intern for a school district in a large urban city, and one article about test scores in particular shocked me. It showed a huge disparity in test scores between girls and boys, but it was the boys that were lagging behind the girls. In particular, this was especially pronounced in school districts that largely served students of color, in particular African-American and Latino students. If you need a citation for this, see here and here.
Barring the silly ideas MRA usually come up with, why do you think the test scores are skewed this way for boys of color? I think there is huge evidence to support that this is issue is 100% intersectional and must be viewed from the lens of race and gender. Obviously I know a lot about racial issues in education and can explain why the race gap exists, but I'd like to hear if you have any ideas why the gender gap exists as well.
Note: Plz to not use phrases like "female privilege" or other silliness. Male privilege still exists, and this situation does not signal the end of male privilege. My question is aimed at a particular situation in which race intersects with gender.
