The girls getting stronger thing is actually so interesting. It’s the same reason women are out performing men in academics now. Women were never given the chance before so men were always way better and now that women are getting a change they tend to work harder to prove they can do it. Plus men aren’t used to competition so they aren’t actually good at those things. They were just the only ones in the race before
That’s not what that means. Men were the only ones in the competition. Meaning women weren’t. Not that they didn’t have other men to compete against just that men were the only ones in the race. And they aren’t as good as they think. That’s why they are falling so far behind in academics. Before they were the baseline. They were all roughly at the same level. Now women are working harder to prove they can. That plus the societal pressures we push on women like be quiet, sit still,
Don’t interrupt or be loud all help them advance in academia where boys have always been allowed to be loud and disruptive. Not that some men aren’t good at those things, they just aren’t top tier or “better” than us as they’ve always been told they are.This is actually what my fiancé and I are both studying. We are both in sociology and I’m also in anthropology and it’s so interesting to see how well women are actually performing considering the disadvantages we have such as starting much later
It’s ok and thank you, I’m trying to talk them into a fall wedding but it’s not working lol. And genuinely if you want to look at any of the studies just for fun (sorry I’m a nerd) a good one is the Harvard magazine one. It mainly talks about how this affects blue collar leaning men but still the overall idea is women’s performance compared to men’s.
