Thank you Jim for continuing to stand up for boys and men. Any fair observer would have to scratch their head and be perplexed by the defensive behaviors of these academes. My hope is that their locked in gynocentric thinking is starting to be exposed. It is men like you on the front lines that are bringing these issues to focus and forcing such inane responses. The more inane responses the more sane people will slowly start to see the misandry.
Thanks for the feedback, Tom. A weird thing about the exchange is that in the discussion of original paper, I didn't say anything about women's education (positive or negative). I simply mentioned that fact that numbers of degrees earned by men in the field has plateaued, and that fewer men than women earn degrees in exercise science and at universities more broadly, and perhaps we should think about that and talk about it more. Oddly, in their letter, the authors ignored the potential issues around men's education, and made the discussion all about women. As I say in my letter reply, this shift of focus from men's education to women actually reinforces the point I was making the whole time about gynocentrism and anti-male bias in academia.
As an aging, white, heterosexual male, father of 2 sons and 2 grandsons, sports and exercise doctor, I sit at the bottom of the hierarchy of merit.
I do have some insight into why men eschew the academy, fail in school, commit suicide and die years younger than our female counterparts and
I agree with everything you have written in your published paper and invited letter.
Men are voting with their feet.
Working in a mine, doing a trade, farming, or running a small business allows men the dignity of doing what they have evolved to do- provide for their family, without constant derision over their privilege or toxicity.
I am able to enjoy my medical practice, having extricated myself from the public hospital system and the academy, minimising my need to comply with the shibboleths of the woke world.
I have the utmost administration for your persistence in pushing back against the powers of darkness!
“Each year, about 300,000 fewer men than women graduate from United States (U.S.) postsecondary institutions “
Even this one sentence on its own should warrant investigation to inform policy development to support men who might benefit from tertiary education. What’s deterring them?
Thank you, James. Great job taking on the feminist gynocracy at colleges. Of course they shot you down - that's what feminists do - but great job pitching it to them.
It's easy to see why large numbers of young men are shunning college, and opting for trade schools instead.
Thank you for taking a stand against misandry. It's unconscionable for men in academia to disparage & support holding other men back when they themselves are the SAME gender. I think it is due to fear and the lack of a backbone. I am familiar with a highly accredited & respected healthcare institution that implicitly discriminates against heterosexual white men. There has been a hard push to promote women & minorities in positions of power in traditionally male occupations, but NO discussion of traditionally female occupations. The CEO is a male. How could he allow this to happen?

Hi Gareth - Thank you for sharing your insights and personal story.
Appreciated James.
Thank you for your always excellent work.
And autocorrect turned "admiration" into "administration"!
Seems appropriate!

Until then it will just have to remain a mystery.
Just imagine if the results were reversed. The world would come to a standstill until the "gap" was eradicated.

Life is hard for those who speak the truth.
Without people speaking truth societies collapse and life becomes hard for all.
Thanks for speaking the truth, James.
Thanks for taking the hits, James.
Thank you very much

Thanks for your comment, Mark. I understand your bafflement. None of this makes sense to the rational, objective, and just mind.
